Indie Game Trailer - Historical adventure mystery - Inspector Javert and the Oath of Blood
CJ BETTS for Inspector Javert
British accent.
Stoical and serious, with a gritty edge. Authoritative, stern, has a sympathetic layer deep down.
The audition lines are short and should convey a sense of driving excitement, but please do take your time and don't feel the need to rush through them.
Update note: I've received some amazing auditions so far. However, a consistent problem I'm getting is some very low energy, conversational takes, some are even whispering.
These lines are going to be heard over intense action sequences and exciting cutscenes in a trailer. This is the trailer music I have licensed for this project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCa0IWzI89A This should give an idea on the dramatic tone I'm going for and you can judge if your take would be swallowed up or overwhelmed by it.
Please only audition if you know how to pronounce Javert! I have heard some very interesting variations of how to pronounce Javert while listening to auditions, but at the end of the day this wastes both our time because I won't be able to cast you. This may help if you're not sure.
This city is alive. It's on fire. It's angry.
Paris has changed. Something's not right.
I am Inspector Javert and i will solve this case.
