A one-shot bounty hunter, Hudson is the main character of this campaign - and he is skilled at his craft. A former member of the Redeemers, Hudson has washed off the paint on his employer’s armour to forget about a troubled past with them. Hudson travels the galaxy, peeking everywhere to catch wind of rumours of long-forgotten treasures or poaching some of the most dangerous yet most valuable creatures in the galaxy. All this he does as a last resort to gather a stable income which is scarce thanks to living in the galactic frontier, far away from Earth. But sometimes, he sticks his neck out a little too far or lets curiosity get the better of him - and it ends up costing him.

In terms of the voice - Hudson‘s key character trait is an optimistic outlook, so this should end up translated into this voice. Aside from that, Hudson may actually sound a little generic - no unnatural low voices, no overdone intonations - somewhere in the age range of mid-20s. The part which is key to making Hudson interesting to listen to, is how you convey his sentences. Hudson will always be first to point out the bright side of things and display his curiosity when he discovers something he had not encountered before. And he’s used to an inconvenience or two, so when this happens, it should not alter his current view on the situation. This might change throughout the campaign, so we need some portrayal of fear, but worry not as when the need for this arises, it will receive indication in the script. 

In summary, optimism and reckless curiosity are the keywords when you audition for Hudson. Important to keep in mind is that Hudson is not stupid - he is a little special, to put it in one way, but he’s still sane when he needs to be.

  • Atmospheric pressure, stable.. gravitation, within the standard... Well, that's perfect!

  • Hmm? Oh, no, no no no. I've been robbed once before. I am not letting my guard down again! Not that easily, my dear!

  • But I can't help but wonder... what kind of exciting treasures hide behind these doors? I do have the missing key... Amelia is going to kill me for this, buuut I won't turn down a get-rich-quick opportunity!

Thanks for all your auditions! I like this one the most out of all of them. I think here Hudson's eccentric side should be a bit more audible - what I noticed in the second line especially is that the "nonono" seems a little flat, very controlled, if you understand that. And the rest of the sentence seems to fit to that. As well, "not that easily my dear" sounds rather dismissive. So in general, my feedback is: give Hudson some more positive energy (just don't overdo it)! Thanks for the auditions.
