Casting for a Female Villain
kathyfriend for Keisha
Keisha is a very interesting character. She is nasty and sinister towards others and loves to steal control. Her character is loosely based on Real Housewives of Atlanta star, Kenya Moore.
Keisha has a mature voice and is very articulate. I think the best way to understand it would be to watch an interview of Kenya Moore.

Keep in mind, I am not looking for anyone who is African American in real life, everyone is welcome to audition (even males if they can pull it off). I just want someone who can do a close impression of Kenya Moore's voice, but still makes it somewhat their own. Plus, Keisha is much more villainous, and her voice should give off a wicked vibe (mainly after her transformation).
(Keisha has just been knocked down and needs to recover. The line should be a little eerie, because she is fairly surprised of the incident herself. She is still good at this point.)
"Yeah, y-yeah, I'm fine. I'm just gonna step away for a second...I'm feeling just a little...lightheaded."
(After finally transforming to the original, villainous keys. A figure asks her if she is still the new Keisha. She responds back a little quiet, but shaking.)
"No, not new Keisha, new Keisha's gone."
(This line is the most important, it must be very excited and terrifying. Don't be afraid to yell.)
"And old Keisha's baaaack!"
(Conclude this line with your evil laugh).
