HOMESICK - Animatic
AzureHound for Imago
Imago is a 23 year old man who just so happens to be a serial killer. (Yikes.) After the suicide of his childhood best friend at the hands of a witch, he's bitter and holds a grudge against those who can wield the power of magic, going so far as to even kill them without a second thought. He's convinced himself he doesn't have emotions, but is great at faking them anyway. He appears to be kind, although a bit eccentric and nosey, asking questions and seeming a bit pushy to even the most tolerant of people. However, the other side of him is sinister and sadistic, someone who doesn't care about the hurt he inflicts on others.
Try to be slightly high-pitched but not too much, fancy and elaborate, but not snooty. A good example of the voice I want is Mamoru Miyano as Dazai Osamu from Bungou Stray Dogs.
CONTEXT: Imago is simply teasing Cricket, playing mind games.
(Smug, all-knowing) So? What if I was about to do something terrible to your beloved Marluza? What would you do, hm? Would you snap my neck out of blind rage, mutt? That anger in your eyes tells me everything.CONTEXT: Imago still plays by his facade, acting innocent to lure others into a false sense of security.
(Amiable, friendly, sweet) You're a really great person, do you know that? I'm happy I was able to be your friend, Marluza.CONTEXT: Imago is gloating in his victory, looking down on Cricket as his knife is pointed at Cricket's neck.
(Maniacal, prideful and bloodthirsty) Oh, I could slit your throat right now. Watch the blood run down your neck as the life slips from your eyes... But I won't. You're no use to me that way, it'd be a waste of a puppet.
Thank you so much for auditioning, your performance really enraptured me- I really felt like I was being talked to by Imago himself!
Thank you so much! I didn't expect myself to enjoy trying out so much.
