Sample of the screenplay scene for line context's sake: https://imgur.com/a/5yywVd9

Though Luca is the protagonist,  this animation test will highlight SSG Bentley. 

Bentley is a man that can chew you out or be cool enough to be your buddy. Has enough charisma that may compel you to follow him to the ends of the Earth.  

Play around with a counseling demeanor, and grounded speech intonation. Sincerity and genuine care in command is key. (Not COLD command. An example of "being real" can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSc_QGQn8xk )

For those eager to audition as him, please feel free to take the pages of screenplay linked above to audition with ANY of his lines, not just the three previewed down below. CHOOSE LINES THAT MAY HELP YOUR PERFORMANCE!

*Please note that during this scene, Bentley is smoking a cigarette. Feel free to add long pauses or appropriate breaths.

*Please also note that Bentley, in all his sage wisdom, is still only ***32*** years old. I'm looking for a young-ish voice that is along the lines of this singer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1kc7CS5Ww8

  • Normally, we wouldn't be going on the grill unless you did something REAL stupid. But considering you're near the tail end of Phase Blue, it's mighty strange to see a dip in performance.



  • I commend you two. Trying to better yourselves despite the true war at home. That's REAL character right there. Taking the fight inside and out.




  • Those sorts of experiences toughens you out. Theoretically, anyway. You're not alone, you know. I'm not about making this a competition on who's got it worse, but everyone's walking a little wounded. Take a gander at this old winner.

Bentley definitely has a distinctive manner of speech, and I'm impressed you captured his implied "cowboy demeanor" (it's hard even for me to not break into some sort of accent like that when I read it out loud haha.) I'm also impressed with the lines you chose to perform! Thank you for your performance! I feel you're very close to my vision of Bentley, so 'll keep an eye on your audition!

    Thank you so much! This whole story seems so interesting, and you've really fleshed out this characters, they both have such deep backstories.
