Eastmouth (Small Town Mystery/Adventure/Horror) - (Closed, but backlog auditions are acceptable)
Morgenstern for Aldo Cosgrove
The youngest member of Kent’s entourage. Early thirties, real estate developer who’s done well for himself. Situated in Eastmouth, serves other towns. If there's one thing Cosgrove loves more than money, it's prestige. After being born at the very halfway mark between lower and middle class, he's set his sights on the parties, prestige, and exclusivity of the upper crust. In that sense, he's a mirror of Gatsby.
"It’s just not right, we ought to encourage foreigners to visit. We’d be losing a substantial amount of scratch otherwise. I don’t think anyone here would disagree with that." [Debating with other council members whether to address the concerns of isolating further due The Red Scare or to focus on monetary impact. As a budding real estate mogul for the surrounding towns, more people = more business]
"Gentleman, gentleman... play nice. We just might be able to work something beneficial out for all of us." [You're attempting to play both disagreeing parties to end up on the good side of both]
Not even remotely what I was suspecting. Still, it was actually a very good take. You really made the character your own. Definitely under consideration.
Thanks, bro. You mentioned Gatsby when writing about Aldo, but I don't think this character has reached that level of sophistication yet. His hand-to-mouth upbringing and subsequent years spent hustling have given him certain proclivities that are particularly hard to hide when the servants start handing out dessert forks.
That's a good point. I'm actually really interested in how you would sound if you aimed for a younger, slimier, or pseudo-intellectual kind of take. Since you clearly have a pretty wide range of vocal presentations, I'd be interested if you'd send me a couple of different interpretations.
