Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Abridged Additional Casting
gonsqua for Van Hohenheim
Van Hohenheim is a deceptively ancient and extremely powerful Alchemist as well as the estranged father of Edward and Alphonse Elric. Despite disappearing suddenly during their infancy, Hohenheim returns during the course of the series in order to right the wrongs of his mysterious past.
For this character, I require a strong and booming paternal voice, he is man that has lived many lifetimes. Please don't over extend yourself when portraying this character. I would also like you to get as close as you can voice and tone wise to his dub actor John Swasey.
(wistful as if he’s thinking back on his long life)
“I thought living forever was nothing but exhausting. But since I met you and our sons, for the first time I felt glad to be alive. It was a full life."
(You are confronting Father about why he removed the seven deadly sins from himself in a somewhat sullen tone)
You've certainly mellowed out... you used to be fun, full of life and emotion. Lust, Greed, Sloth, Gluttony, Envy, Wrath, and Pride. Of course, excessive want will destroy anyone, but those same desires are necessary to understand what it means to be human. Why did you rid yourself of them?
(Furious)
“Don't EVER mock my SON!”
Good job on the audition, but next time I would recommend limiting the peaking in your audio as it isn't very pleasant to hear and can hurt the audio's quality, depending on the program that you're using it should be an effect, but I do know that Audacity has it.
Thank you very much for the feedback! I did use the limiting effect, but it may have not been the best settings, I'll definitely look further into it, thanks again!
