Ari has been casted! Thank you so much to everyone who auditioned. It was so exciting to hear a different interpretation for Ari in each submission, there were many close contenders and the amount of talent seeping from this page is overwhelming to say the least. I really appreciate the kind words about the project as well, and I hope you all had fun in the process. Flint and Steel!
Hello everyone! I recently made a small story edit for Ari's dialogues, which resulted in a change to one of the audition lines.
The original line was meant to test the actor's ability to tap into a grounded emotional state, but it felt a bit too short. The new version is a bit longer and i think is also just a better line for trying to capture that tone.
This story edit also added a few more lines for the character, so the pay has been increased.
For the actors who already auditioned:
I've already gotten a good sense of what you can do as Ari based on your current audition, so a re-audition isn’t necessary but would definitely help me picture you as Ari a bit more if you're willing.
The deadline has also been extended by 2 days to give time to those who want to re-audition.
Vibe: Stoic-ish/Tomboy-ish
Accent: I imagine her having an american accent, but always open for some creative liberty.

Context for the efforts: They're fighting in an arena tournament.
2nd line context: This happens after the fight. They're now outside the fighting grounds, Ari is approaching Steve from behind as he leans on a fence, watching the sunset.
3rd line context: Same setting as second line but Ari's closer to Steve now (leaning on the fence beside him), This line is a response to Steve talking about his complicated relationship with Alex and her life choices (his little sister)
She sinks her axe into the ground, and GRUNTS as she grinds the axe forward and up, emitting a wall of fire aimed at Steve. // Successfully nullifying the lightning bolt, she ROARS as she launches herself towards Steve by using an explosive fire spell and GROWLS just right before she delivers TWO consecutive heavy axe swings, GRUNTING in each swing.
(Smiling) Gotta say, It’s not everyday we see you lose like that, Steve.
You know… before I came here, my dad tried to stop me. Said the- (mockingly) -journey was dangerous, (drops mock) That it was too risky. We argued. He thinks that if he could just convince me to do what he does, like his father convinced him, he’d be saving my life. (pause, faint smirk) Next day he gets a letter. Said, “I know it’s dangerous, but it’s mine… My journey, my risk” (looks at Steve)
