Left Behind: A One-Shot Audio Drama
Alanon for Frank Griffith
Frank Griffith is the primary lead of "Left Behind". Having not seen his sister for over ten years, Frank has assumed her dead, until he sees a woman he believes is his sister in photos in the possession of his closest friend, Anita Boden.
Frank is a very serious character, as his primary goal is finding his sister at any costs. However, he should not sound too monotone or too "manly". The key to Frank is being able to channel both his frustration and care for both Aubrey and Anita in his lines.
Some additional notes about Frank:
- He is in his early to mid 20's. Keep this in mind.
- His voice should have a lower pitch, though if you capture the character well and do not fit perfectly into the vocal pitch, you can still be cast.
- He can stutter over his words when he is particularly frustrated. However, do not go overboard with this. It is better to not force stuttering at all if you can not do it effectively than it is to try it and not have it work.
(To Anita) Are you telling me that you've known where my sister was for two years? Two years, Anita? And you never told me?
(To himself) Part of me thinks this is some sort of trick, but... if Aubrey really is out there, I just have to know for sure. No matter what her reason for being gone so long is, I just need to know she's out there and is fine.
Sorry I am getting to this audition late! The first thing I notice as soon as your audio starts playing is the quality. It's a bit lackluster and has a bit of a boxy sound. The performance is not bad; the biggest thing that would need to improve, if you are cast, is to try to balance Frank's frustration with his normally stoic demeanor. At some points, he sounds too "soft", which in of itself isn't an issue, but it doesn't really fit his character.
