Role assigned to: RowanTree

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 the audition! My first piece of advice would be to get rid of that background noise, it is VERY notable. As for the voice itself, I'd work on the volume and overall delivery. I don't hear too much fluctuation in either, making the audition feel rather flat. The tone is also too mature for Hudson. Finally some of the pacing is a little weird, especially in the third line the pauses between words are a little inconsistent and most of the time they're over too soon. That would be my feedback. I hope this helps.

    I'll be honest, I don't really hear any background noise. That being said, thank you for the advice! I will be sure to take your words seriously and improve from here.

      Listening to it again - you're right, it's actually less the background noise, more the... echo? I think that's it, your voice echoes a lot. That might be because of how your booth/room is set up... not entirely sure, I'm not a professional at that. But yes, it's not background noise, my bad.
