RWBY: REMNANTS [Fanmade Illustrated Video Series]
SarcasticIdiot for Oscar
A humble boy and protégé of Headmaster Ozpin. Expected to have a different surname from the show for story reasons.
Would sound more or less as he does in RWBY. He has a very "male protagonist" type voice. His voice has a quality of earnesty, and while often unsure and awkward, belies a sense of resolve and a sharp mind beneath. Oscar is often clumsy and uncertain of himself, but slowly grows to become more confident in himself as he continues his apprenticeship under Ozpin and watches Team RWBY's exploits.
Oscar will be quite prominent in the series, so his voice acting requires some decent versatility, able to act in awkward, brave and frantic situations alike.

[Doing work by Ozpin's side, nervously holding books close to his chest and nodding at everything Ozpin says. Sounds like he's balancing five tasks at once and is unable to keep up with the current one.]
"Y-Yes Headmaster! Sorry Headmaster. I'll get these to the library right away." *panics* "Wh... Where is the library again...?"
[Oscar runs into Ruby in the hallway, both of them falling to the floor, scattering Oscar's stacks of books and paperwork onto the floor. He is nervous and awkward, having never really talked to girls much before.]
"Oh gosh... oh man, I'm so sorry!" [Ruby tries to help] "N-No! I've got it, seriously!"
[they both calm down and Ruby introduces herself]
"Me? Oh. I'm just nobody special, really..." *meek laugh* "I'm Oscar. The Headmaster- I mean, Professor Ozpin took me in, as a... well, not a student... not really as a staff member either... I'm not sure what I'm here for, really..." *awkward laugh*
[Extra context - Ruby laughs, replying: "Yep, that kinda sounds like Professor Ozpin alright..."]
[During a Grimm attack. Sounds panicked and has to raise his voice over the chaos happening around him, but gathers his courage to go out and try to save whoever he can.]
"The Grimm have breached the first line! Headmaster, get back!"
"Everyone else, follow me! The shelter is this way, come on!"
Great work! I think you communicate his awkward lines really well, and with good variation as well. I like that the audio is clear and loud, though perhaps needs to be tuned down slightly as the loud parts sort of "break" over the comfortable limit, if that makes sense. I will say though for the third line, the performance is a little hit and miss, as some parts convey the fear well, and some feel like it's said too casually. But overall very solid work.
Thanks! Ive never done audio work, so yeah, I know I need to find a good mix for the loud parts. And yes, the final lines were fine with harder than the others, I work really well with direction, so knowing the full picture of the scene would probably help. Thanks!
