Your audition should use a voice similar to the in-game character's voice, which you can listen to here: https://youtu.be/-0AX3_JhxyM
(inner monologue) [Righteous and Joyous, edges on the voice of a Stereotypical Knight] {context: Dung Defender thinking to himself}
...For the honour of the King!..
...For the honour of the Five!..
...For the honour of Hallownest!
[Humble with an air of Joyousness] {context: Talking to Dung Defender after your sudden duel with him}
Oh, it's you again. I'm glad to see you return. No, no, please... Don't say a word. I must apologise for my previous behaviour. Entirely my fault. I mistook you for one of those mindless skulking husks, yet you bested me in the most majestic knightly fashion.
{context: He is talking of a fellow knight he loves, Isma}
[Surprised, then Saddened] Ahh! That tear... You've been to her grove! I swore I'd visit, but... my duties... my oath...
[Catches himself, then puts on a happy voice for the Knight, but deep down still saddened] Oh, I'm sorry. Ignore me, I'm being foolish. If I'm not careful I'll sink down into old memories and won't ever come back again. She's a great judge of character, so if she gave you her blessing you must be something special indeed. I'm barely worthy to be in your presence!
