This Raven differs greatly from her canon counterpart. Raven and her brother Qrow were former members of a tribe of raiders who lived far beyond the walls of Vale. Qrow was always the more streetsmart and smooth-talking of the two, while she only cared about the path of a warrior, immersing herself in tradition and ceremony for her tribe. This would create a very cold, aloof personality at Beacon, incredibly skilled in combat but completely tactless when speaking to others.

She would later abandon Vale and Team STRQ for unknown reasons, becoming a fugitive and a wanderer, travelling the world and taking whatever she deems worth taking.

For Raven's voice, I imagine her having a very noticeable, distinct accent, painting her clearly as someone far from Vale, as someone who is a proud warrior, or someone who has travelled along the coasts and has dealt with seediest underworlds and black markets across Remnant. This is true for both her young and adult selves.

Do explore and include multiple accents in your takes that you think may suit her description.

Her voice should be relatively deep and mature-sounding regardless of age. She has a somewhat unfeeling voice without a hint of humour or vulnerability, sounding aloof at times, as if very few things can faze her, but still not too monotone. Her voice is strong and commanding, but not loud or boisterous; rather it makes you feel threatened by her without her actually showing explicit hostility. This is a person who could kill you if she wanted to, she just doesn't have any reason to at the moment.

She would sound essentially identical as a teenager to her adult self, always sounding mature for her age.

EDIT: For those further auditioning for Raven, her accent would be Irish, Welsh or Icelandic, whichever you are proficient with.

  • [Adult Raven. To Ruby. Wistful though bitter towards Summer's death]

    "I admired your mother’s conviction, I do. But when I saw her frail body, drained of her life and joy… I knew this was not the life I wanted. She chose to give up her life, and died a completely different person. A ghost. I will never make that same mistake she did."

  • [Adult Raven. To Yang, emotional. Full of conviction but with a hint of remorse] 

    "There is always a choice! Between life and death, freedom and servitude… My daughter… or the whole world. I would never expect you to understand, Yang, but I always hoped you did. Because now the skies belong to me… and they can be yours, too."

  • [Adult Raven. To a member of RWBY or STRQ, stating her grand mission]

    "I will watch the Kingdoms burn. I will have everything. And I will divide their spoils, their glory, their ashes… with whomever I please. And all those I find worthy will live to witness my new Dawn. A world with no Kingdoms; no grand, noble struggle… and no more pointless suffering."

I quite like this, your voice fits the role quite well and fit the serious tone of each scene. There are places where the performance can be finetuned further. For example, lines like "My daughter... or the whole world" and "Their glory... their ashes" can be performed with more seriousness and emphasis, with a longer, drawn out pause between the phrases. This is a matter of the rhythm of the performance, and helps gives certain words and phrases within the lines better variation as well as dramatic effect.

    Thank you so much for giving me your input for this character. I will try to improve on pausing on the right time when voicing out certain lines to give it the dramatic effect you're looking for :)
