"Whump World!" Dramatic readings of some engaging short 'whump' stories- CHAPTER 3
Avaltah for Kyla
REFERENCE PICTURES ARE UNOFFICIAL.
Kyla is the female Neko (cat-person)
Kyla and her brother Rino are both very smart and clever beings. They learn things a lot faster than a normal human would and they also are very agile with them being Neko’s and having cat-like traits. Though they are twins their personalities could not be more different. For example, Kyla is more outspoken, and would be the one to take risks first while Rino would more than likely follow along with her lead. Kyla would be the type that enjoys listening and playing classical music on piano. They both enjoy art as a side interest as well, though Kyla leans towards the fine arts while Rino likes to look at the more abstract things.
I'm looking for a young teenage voice. Kyla should sound smart yet somewhat anxious- I am not leaning too much on a very whiny teenage valley girl. But I'd like to compare Kyla's character and voice as something similar to Mellisa Joan Hart when she was filming 'Clarrisa Explains it All' back in the 90's. Here is a good example to go by if you'd like to try some sort of impression, sorry the sound quality of this clip isn't that great- but I think it'll do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrZD1ItkvQE Melissa was 16 years old when she did this, notice how she naturally sounds a bit different from when she is older and plays Sabrina in "Sabrina the Teenage Witch": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgmMNByMog0 (This was the best example I could find- interesting how she plays as Sabrina in the sitcom but does not voice her character in the animated series. 0.0) I am going for the younger version here but it would be a bonus if the younger and older version is possible with one actress.
Note: Rino is pronounced as 'Ree-no' as in "Reno, Nevada"
I'm bored Rino! We should go watch some t.v. or something...
I can’t find anything that refers to people like us, Nothing! Don’t you think that’s weird?
You are so in denial! You can’t tell me, that you’ve never felt out of place?
