Psychological Horror Game [Short, Paid]
Dbotnik for Actor/Radio personality
This is for a moderately large role. The character is an actor who's transitioned to work at a popular radio station due to his popularity with certain audiences. His career as an actor isn't necessarily dead in the water, but he's taken somewhat of a hiatus, probably due to somewhat declining viewership. As the story is generally warped, some lines have him being a douchey radio announcer/actor, but some are a bit more creepy and "off". We put one of each in the audition script.
As usual, we want realistic readings. This is not so much a typical game as an interactive drama, so the character should be interesting but never OTT and "fake".
[on the air] It’s another cozy Friday Night here at CoolStation. I'm your host, John Samuels, and I bid you all welcome to "Wacky Tales", where we ask viewers like YOU to share stories from YOUR life. Nothing is too wacky or zany for this show, so just....spill your Hearts out, people! Well, unless you're a crybaby cause, we don't serve your kind here! Like that like that bartender guy in Star Wars? Remember that line? Anyway, I'm JUST KIDDING! Crybabies are welcome too. After all, isn't there a little crybaby in all of us?
[to a co-worker in another room, separated by a glass wall, more low-key, slightly creepy vibe]
Hey you...[knocking on glass wall] the girl behind the glass. Look over here. There you go. Sarah, right? Wait! Don't say anything...I'm really good at reading people....their body language, all that stuff, learned it at Groundlings. And the vibe I'm getting from YOU is....[somewhat more creepy, while still friendly] that you don't seem to like me very much, Sarah. Guess you never saw any of my movies, huh?
