RWBY: REMNANTS [Fanmade Illustrated Video Series]
Xpml for Headmaster Ozpin
The enigmatic Headmaster of Beacon Academy.
He has a measured, sagelike voice, and sounds like he has seen and done everything. He speaks with authority and firm conclusion. He has the bearings of a wise old man or mentor. Like a stranger met upon a crossroads, an old man passing by, offering advice.
Does not have to sound like the show, but should exhibit these traits. Voice can be deeper or of equal tone to the original.
[Bargaining with Blake, after having caught her trying to enter Vale from beyond the city. He sounds measured, careful, but also considerate towards Blake's choice and safety.]
"Miss Belladonna, I offer you a choice. You can return the way you came, no questions asked, back to the battlefield you escaped from… or you can take refuge here. Become a Huntress. Fight for Vale. Just know... that if you accept, your former allies will now be your enemies."
[Speaking to General Ironwood privately regarding a certain incident long ago. He sounds serious, with a hint of regret.]
"I would advise caution, General. Summer Rose was not the only Hunter to die on that tragic day. Many good souls were lost, from my side… and yours. I suggest a more subtle approach this time. Only strike when we are absolutely certain of it."
[Interacting with Oscar. Relaxed, lighthearted and polite. He should sound like he takes quite a liking to Oscar and values what he says.]
"Ah, there you are, Oscar. No, I don't need anything, thank you."
[Oscar talks about work that he needs to do.]
"Hm... why don't you take the rest of day off? You've yet to fully tour Vale since you arrived, it would be a shameful opportunity to waste on a day as nice as this, yes?" *chuckles*
I like your choice of accent and the rhythm of your words, it gives him a subtle whimsy and approachability. I like your chuckle at the end the most so far too, not too much and it's humorous how matter-of-fact you made a chuckle sound. I'd love to hear a more serious take with the same persona for the first and second scenes, with him placing more weight and importance on his words and proposals, but I think you've captured the casual side of Ozpin very well.
Thanks a lot. I’ll do another audition tomorrow.
