Tribus Rem - Voice Actors
Kyle Dennison for Oli Turk
Barfolimuu "Oli" Turk is a genius, this character is very intelligent, he's the guy that stays up all night working on projects, gets up for coffee, and ideal sleeping hour is noon to four. He says what he thinks a lot and it funny doing so. He's kind of a "loveable scamp." Writing this, I'm thinking of Tramp from Lady and The Tramp. Oli cares so much about Breeze, Opal, and President, always trying to do what's right. His riskiness gets in his way sometimes and he makes some grave mistakes. Try not to do a typical “nerdy voice,” save that for John from Dean’s Coffee
Oli: "Hey, uh- I’m here to pick up my order of 4 grams of Gollagenelized Enzyme 46G."
Context: (Think collagen-ized but with a G) (Galla-gen-ized)
Oli: "Debra/Don, Begin front passage unlock sequence, please."
Context: Talking to a robot, you get to choose to say either Debra or Don. The robot's name will be changed depending on who is cast.
Oli: "Breeze, I don't think Opal's okay. I don't know how she's going to cope with- I don't know how many of us will. I hate not knowing things, Breeze. I'm sorry you didn't find what you were looking for."
Context: This needs to be heart wrenching. It needs to be.
Be careful with peaking. You’re talented but a lot of your tales sounded too similar, I didn’t get much variety. Thank you for the calm line at the end Though, it gives me a better picture.
“Alright” I can tell you kinda know what you’re doing so I’m going to give you genuine like director notes;; 1. More variety between takes, 2. I’d like you to speak in your natural tone, you sound overacted which makes sense but isn’t what I’m looking for. 3. The end needs to be sad, not angry, I know the context gives very little but make us lean in, don’t scare us off. Comfort breeze, don’t shame her. 4. More upward inflections. I don’t usually give a ton of notes in comments but this is a good example of a good audition that just didn’t quite fit but since you’re good I’m happy to hear you again;; anyone stalking the auditions to see what I see, take my notes from this and apply it to yours.
oh also you’re too fast, don’t rush though the lines, focus on hitting them not getting through them. Sorry to tear into you like this but based on what I hear you can take it and a lot of the other auditions I don’t really know where to start and they aren’t experienced so I really can’t give them direction they’d understand.
Thank you for all the feedback! No need to apologize for anything. I would happily give Oli another go and this time take in the critiques you noted. I appreciate criticism a lot more than others do. It helps me learn and improve, so again, thank you for the feedback!
Oh and if you haven’t yet I encourage you to audition for the Head Protestor and our extras.
