Planting Melodies
Bri Ley Ryder (aka TimeRunner) for Gothel (Alice Adler) - speaking
Alice's father was a sorcerer whom was rather strict and cruel, pushing her to her limits and forcing her to strive to be the best whilst her mother was of royal birth whom was very entitled and spoiled and also fed the child's ego. She tends to be rather charming and has strong personality, though because of her grooming and upbringing, she can be rather vain, but is too smart to let that cloud her judgment or allow it to get in the way.
Originally, Alice had not intended to care for Rampion as a real mother when adopting her, simply seeing the girl as a sort of experiment, though, it didn't take long for her to grow attached to the baby and love the child as though she was her own daughter. Right before Alice finds herself on her deathbed, she intended to break the curse she laid on Rampion, but was unable to due to her failing health.
In death, she follows Lindwurm around as a spirit, keeping an eye on him and Rampion (who cannot see her unlike Lindwurm). Alice constantly sasses and lectures her younger half brother from beyond the grave, trying to encourage him to open his heart to her ward and break the curse.
(almost tired/haggard) "I will always be with you my child. My love will reach you from beyond the stars, from across the sky, from out of the universe."
"Of course I care. How could I not? I love the girl, and she loves me. Of all the things I've done, that cannot be my sin."
"You think you know better than me, dear boy? You think you see right through me? Don't make me laugh."
"Why are you being that way? Why do you have to be so cruel to her? She wants comfort, both to give and receive. You two should be bosom buddies right now."
"And now you're stuck with me. Maybe I'll pass. Maybe I'll just haunt you for the rest of your life. We'll see."
“I’m the only one who accepts you for who you really are.”
I really like your voice, and there's a quality that could fit for Gothel, though I tend to imagine her a little more sultry/catty. You do have a pretty pretty and mature sound, all the same. Thank you for your audition, by the way! Apologies for how late my response has been, I had surgery not too long ago.
Thank you for your compliments. I have done more catty voices such as Rouge from Sonic but I totally understand if my voice isn't a fit for the role.
So because I really like your voice, I was wondering if I could entice you to maybe check out another casting call of mine that I plan to actually close soon. If you are interested, I'd love to hear you audition! It's called The Horror of Our Love and I was thinking about your voice for Rose Red, though you are not at all obligated to submit an audition for her or anyone if you're not interested (I've tried to attach the link as well): https://www.castingcall.club/projects/the-horror-of-our-love-supernatural-historical-horror-comic-audio-story
Hello! And thank you so much for reaching out to me about the other project. Thank you for asking and your compliment about my voice but this is not a project I will be auditioning for at this time. Thank you and wish you the best!
