Project Roles: Silas Mara Grim Aeon

Silas

Silas is kind-hearted boy who has a bad habit of wandering off. While he can be brash and impulsive, he is also surprisingly perceptive. He will usually put other’s needs before his own.

Vocal Notes:
Silas’ voice is the epitome of a younger brother: bright and adolescent. It is on the higher side, easily able to express his enthusiasm and unmistakably a ten-year-old boy. That being said, he has the ability to take on a more pensive, somber tone that is unusual for a child his age.

  • (Cheerful, rambling) You’re awake! Mara and I had to drag you in here. It was actually super hard because you’re so heavy. Plus you snore really loud!

  • (Quiet, serious) Do you know why the sun is black? Papa says it’s because wolves ate it up a long time ago, and now there’s just a big gap where the sun used to be... (Dubious) Is that stuff true?

  • (Angry) How could you do that to Wallace?! He didn’t do anything to you! He was my friend! I thought… (Heartbroken) I thought *you* were my friend… Are you?

Mara
Voice Actor Voice Actor
Mara

Unpaid

Silas’ older sister. She is usually the one who calls the shots. Although she doesn’t have much patience for her brother, she is very protective of him. She is skilled with a rifle.

Vocal Notes:

Although she is a fourteen-year-old girl, Mara’s voice reveals someone who has grown up too quickly. She speaks firmly, confidently, and with no-nonsense. However, cracks occasionally appear in her otherwise serious demeanor, and her tone must be able to hint at her true emotions lying under the surface. Mara will have a largely narrational role for this particular project.

  • (Distrustful) My brother and I found you at our doorstep, unconscious and covered in blood. We don’t ever get visitors this far into the valley… (Accusatory) Who are you and why are you on our farm?

  • (Urgent, assertive) Silas, get over here. *Now*. (Threatening) As for you… /Leave/. Because I won’t miss twice.

  • (Narration, serious) One day, a little lamb fell down into a well. He cried and cried for help, but no one could hear him. It wasn’t long before a snake arrived…

Grim
Voice Actor Voice Actor
Grim
open
Unpaid

A solitary traveler who likes to keep to himself. Despite his short temper and standoffish nature, he has trouble turning his back on those in need. Perhaps it’s the pack instincts.

Vocal Notes:

Grim's voice is gruff and stays in a mid-level range most of the time. Occasionally, it can get a bit higher for comedic effect. His voice should be flexible enough to express disgruntled sarcasm and true fury as separate emotions, while also being capable of conveying an undertone of deep care and concern despite a guarded demeanor. Because this character is queer, we would particularly love to hear from trans/queer voice talent.

Voice Reference:
Kenai - Brother Bear (Joaquin Phoenix)

Language:
  • english
Voice description:
  • animation/character
  • male adult
  • visualnovel
  • storyboard demo
  • (Serious, reassuring) I think you’re taking good care of Silas. You’re a good sister.

  • (Irritated) I’m tired of your games, you sick bastard. Leave me alone.

  • (Quiet, threatening) If you lay a hand on either of those children… I’ll kill you.

Aeon
Voice Actor Voice Actor
Aeon

Unpaid

A mysterious stranger who seems to have a history with Grim. He is calculating and rather unsympathetic to others. They also have a strange sense of humor.

Aeon Vocal Notes:

Aeon’s voice carries a constant smug, mocking tone that hints at how this person should not be trusted. However, there is a breathy, seductive undercurrent… particularly with lines directed at Grim. Aeon’s voice does not need to sound explicitly masculine or feminine. Ideally, it should be somewhat androgynous. Because this character is gender-neutral/nonbinary, we would particularly love to hear auditions from trans/queer voice talent.

Voice Reference:
Izaya - Durarara!! (Johnny Yong Bosch)

Language:
  • english
Voice description:
  • animation/character
  • storyboard demo
  • visualnovel
  • neutral
  • nonbinary
  • androgynous
  • male adult
  • (Smug) Oh, please. Don’t tell me you’re mad. I was just having a bit of fun.

  • (Whining) Ugh, but this is so *boring*. (Condescending) Just how long do you intend to stay in /that/ form?

  • (Sinister, seductive) Don’t worry. I’ll show you that your effort is pointless… silly wolf.
