Superman v Joker: The Sound of One Hand Clapping!
maxb for Superman
The performance for The Man of Steel I wanted to have a voice that is noble, timeless, sincere, but has a more naturalistic albeit sarcastic attitude especially when it related to his encounter against the joker.
If you want, you can have a unique original voice for your Superman OR you can do an impression of Christopher Reeves, Tim Daly, or George Newbern take on Superman.
Hello. My name is Superman
I'm here to enure you don't hurt any more people. You said you had bombs. I was told you asked to speak with me, but so far all you've done is tell jokes.
(Forboding anger) Don't let Joker come Anywhere near Metropolis again, or next time, your little 'Playmate' won't make it home.
Very nice man, good job-.
Thank you! xD
So far this is the best audition I'm hearing. It's very natural, relaxed, and sincere. BUT I need a bit more range of emotions on some of the lines, which I will properly elaborate more in detail when the deadline comes in and I choose who gets to play the characters (you maybe a high chance) ^^
Did you want me to make another audition then? Superman is pretty tricky in pinning down. He's overall a nice guy and there are moments of anger but to me it's contained anger. Unless we are talking more along the lines of Injustice Superman, which he lost everything and is fuming with anger. Or was anger not exactly what you were referring to? Provide the direction and I will do my best interpretation of that. Cheers! And thank you!
If you want. Though for the 2nd audition, I wanted to have a more of a slight sarcasm vibe coming from Superman when he mentions Joker is just wasting his time on the 2nd line. Since the story is just the two talking with Superman has a slight passive aggressive attitude towards Joker and everything about him as a character. The Anger line is just right, since from the original comic visually, it looks contained.
Ah ok, I get it. I can do another audition for this. Will do the other lines as well. If there's anything you want to see slightly different let me know before I post.
For Superman's greeting ("Hello, I'm Superman") I want you to have a bit of "Sincerity" into the performance kinda in a "Christopher Reeve" kinda way but it's still your take on Superman (if that makes sense hopefully) the context of the scene is that this is implied to be Superman's first meeting with The Joker, he's aware that he was the caused of the bombs in Metropolis so he's pretty much calm, casual, but a bit cautious since he heard rumors about him.
