REPRISAL SEDIBUS: ALIBI MASK
Richard Gibson for Envy
Envy is a flirtatious (ghost) prince from the 1800s. Every word he speaks is generally in a smooth, almost patronizing tone. He generally speaks very proper, so his words are always clear and precise. But at the same time, he has a very seductive tone of vocals, so keep that in mind. Envy is quite the lady-killer. I mean this literally too. He kills women. Hot serial killer vibes. His voice is at a low range in terms of pitch, but I don't mind hearing anything you can bring as long as it maintains that "smooth" type of tone. I'm going to be honest, think British Corpse Husband. If you can't hit that range, it's okay don't force it. Sebastian from Black Butler has the right attitude that I'm looking for. But also think yandere, no matter how silly that sounds. It has to be very seductive, but at the same time, threatening enough to strike fear into someone (me) that's listening to these auditions in a dark room alone with the door locked. The first line, of course, seems very out of place, but Envy is actually genuinely nice to children. I put it in because I need to hear your diversity. I need to hear that cute/sweet tone then that killer/seductive tone.
Requirements: Must be willing to commit to a long-term project. If you have singing abilities, that is a huge plus, if not, that's alright. This role is rather heavy on the acting portion and often on the serious side. I appreciate all takes that are sent in and encourage multiple takes for each line! Especially if it shows your pitch range and acting abilities!
Please note: Prices will often start off low because this is a series I am starting from scratch but if you're patient and willing to commit to a long-term project, the pay will certainly increase!
If possible, please start off your audition with your name (or preferred alias, so that I can keep all of the auditions tidy) and a nice charming "Greetings, mi angelo" to get into character!
(Speaking to a child. Very sweet and calming tone.) "Hello, little one... Are you lost? A-ah... please don't cry... I'll help you find your undeserving and rather irresponsible parents, I promise."
"You can run all you'd like... but you're cornered now, mi amore~ There's a dead-end that way if I do recall...! It's a shame, really... (softly/in a whisper) You're actually my type." (Laugh here, only to drag into disappointment.) "Ah... I won't enjoy this, I do hope you know that. You were one of my best customers... Quite entertaining..." (Cheerful on this part) "Really great at drinking games!" (A gentle unsettling hum (bonus points if it's an actual song that's just hummed slowly for a morbid/creepy effect) for a few moments, only to pause in surprise.) "Oh! You thought I meant romantic type? No, no, darling... I meant type of kill." (Cheerful) "The kind that no one will even notice if they're gone, kind of kill!" (After a soft laugh, return to that same unsettling hum as before.)
(Scolding) "Lenore, get down from there this instant." (Lenore's line, for reference so you know what you're replying to: "But I won't get hurt! I promise!") "I don't care if you think you won't get hurt, those boxes are unstable, not to mention filthy. Come down, please. You're going to ruin your dress and I don't think I'll be able to threaten Wrath into making you another."
