DaemoniK [Season Two]
Zaxtrem for Sandalphon
SANDALPHON -- AKA Alexander. Age Unknown, but appears to be in his 20's, Male. It was a shock to the world how angels and demons really are a thing, but did you know that angels and demons can be created in various different ways? However, it wasn't until Jeremiel's scheming that a new creation came to be in the form of Sandalphon and Metatron -- twin angels artificially made and fused with the essence of demons. Once human before, Sandalphon and Metatron serve Jeremiel, obeying his word and command as he had given them another chance at life. After all, Sandalphon and Metatron were once human... Perhaps with Jeremiel's promise, they can return back to the lives they used to live...
Vocal Range: Higher to Normal Pitched
Vocal Personality: When you first meet him in the story, he's a rather bubbly and energetic character -- quite the opposite of his two, Metatron. He speaks with a kindness and energy that brings forth a sense of comfort and security when you're around him. However, many assume that it's part of his. For once you're lulled by his enticing tone, you'll be caught in his web of lies -- unable to break free.
Vocal Notes:
He's an interesting character, as he and Metatron are the only two angels who were once human in the lifetime before ascending. While the other angels more rather already existed before a point in time, they're considered angels with the powers and abilities they garner. However, as most angels are designed after insects, Sandalphon and Metatron -- interestingly enough -- are designed after arachnids, which aren't actually spiders. Sandalphon perhaps is the more resentful of what happened to him, and tends not to appear in his angelic form too often within his appearances. Instead, he chooses a human form as a memory of what he used to be.
"Hey! Wait for me! Wow, for someone as short as you, you definitely walk really fast. With the pace you're going, I can see that you're on a mission." [pause] "Well... No. I don't really know what's going on in the life of you, but I'd love to know. Sometimes the best way to fix a problem is to let someone help you fix it, right? I'd love to help~"
[reminiscing] "It's no big deal actually... Really, Fin. Me and my brother manage to make it by the best that we can, doing the things that we have to, so we can keep going. He works really hard to keep me safe, so I always feel like I have to work hard too. I don't mind it though. A world where me and Matthew can rest peacefully... I'll work as hard as I need to in order to get that."
[eerily] "It's okay, Fin. I'm here to protect you -- from the angels, from the demons, from anything. You deserve safety and peace just like everyone else, but you can't get that if you keep putting yourself into danger. And the demons... What have they done to help you? Will you let me protect you, Fin? Do you trust me...?"
Boy howdy! Watch out for those audio peaks! First thing to keep an eye out for when you audition, because you might blow an eardrum out -- especially to a poor headphone wearer like me. c': But this is a cool take on Sandalphon's voice! The accent you have applies this fun charm to his personality -- but I think that might just be me and my bias towards accents. People's voices are amazing! On a technical stance though, I think your audition is good, but it could be better. There's something about it that feels a bit too much like reading and less like performing, which will get you into trouble sometimes depending on what kind of production you take on. Some will be more relaxed for reading, others more animated. But the more animated ones (kinda like this one) will need this naturalness to the character to bring the character to life. This is where it's DEFINITELY useful to do multiple takes, memorizing the line just a little bit to nail the right inflection, the raises in pitch, your pauses. All of those things will kind of add to the naturalness and make it a bit more comfortable to perform in whatever role you have coming your way! After all, it's a lot more different of a feel to the lines and roles themselves when you nail down those minor details of the voice. And it'll even help when mastering different emotional tones for the characters, especially with someone like Sandalphon -- who switches between this happy soft boy to a creepy almost possessive character. It's fun when you practice that more! Many thanks for your audition, and keep on working hard, Zaxtrem! :D
