Berkner (Happy Feet AU | Audio Drama)
Armandstein for Gevi
Pronounced as "jeh-vay"
Gevi is another side character Alep and the others meet during the audio drama. He's an Adelie Penguin that has a panic attack wherever he goes. He's excessively afraid of death and will do whatever to prevent it. He constantly needs to keep his everyday fear out of his mind. One of them is him talking long walks. He's usually calm and assertive, but petrified and isolative when his fear kicks in.
In human age, he's about 34, so try to sound like that age, or at least close to it.
(Taking a walk. He's giving a long sigh.)
This unruly world doesn't have any sense anymore. One moment you survive getting killed by your own kind, and the next a skua takes your egg. (Grumbling) Life as a penguin feels so unfair that I can imagine how it'll feel being a human.
(Pleased, smiling.)
Well, thank you! I did not think my flippers would have such speed. I thought they would give out because of how mortified I was.
(Trying to run away from a sea lion. Gevi is highly intense with his reactions. Make sure you're very expressive of his fear responses. His responses pause a lot and he's a fast speaker when he's scared.)
No! No- no! Get away- you're not eating me! No- stay, stay away! Go away, go! I don't want to die today, nor right now, nor next week or year or decade! Please, please go away! Don't eat me! Let me live another day! Please, no! No! Go away, you beast! Go!
I love the expressiveness in the second and third one. You really nailed his fast-speaking on the last one! You gave him the kind of voice that nearly fits how he is. I really like this one!! :>
