Mysterious Sonder (Sims 2 Psychological Mystery Series)
Christian Yeboa for Jamal Sonalia
VOICE RANGE: Medium
VOICE TYPE: Thoughtful
ACCENT: Indian or British (RP)
TRAITS: Introverted/ Practical/ Hard working/ Self-confident/ Non-expressive/ Intelligent
DESCRIPTION: Jamal is very musical and immigrated to the UK from India. He is Lucy's best friend and cares a lot about her, although he doesn't get on very well with her other friend, Corrin. He isn't very expressive and tends to bottle up his emotions. He has a certain mysterious vibe, as you can never quite tell what he is thinking.
EXTRA NOTES: If you don’t have a natural Indian accent, I’d rather you speak British. If the directions say lighthearted etc., make sure it isn't too expressive, but subtle.
(I've edited these lines, as I felt I previously didn't have enough to go on considering the significance of the role. As a result, the first three auditioners will have voiced the earlier version. Sorry for any confusion).

If you can speak Hindi, that is a bonus, but is not required.
(Sympathetic, calm) Well, in the end it's down to you, but I don't think trying it out would hurt. A therapist may have a different perspective which could help... and after all, what's the worst that could happen? [pause] If that's how you feel then maybe you should just give it a go, it might not be as bad as you think. What is it exactly that you are afraid of?
(Softly, slightly sad) Oh hey Lucy, come on in.
(Calm, understanding) So... your doctor referred you to a therapist, and you aren't too happy about it?
(Calmly, friendly) It was the new student, yes. He's quite shy so it took him a while to play me something, but he's very good [pause] (lower, concerned) Lucy, is something on your mind? [pause] (reassuring) You can tell me.
Thank you very much for auditioning, I enjoyed listening and I’m really glad you enjoyed doing his character!
Thank You, always have fun trying out British accents :)
