Project: deltarune RECAST (CHAPTER ONE)
BonetrixARTS for Ms. Alphys
Your local nerdy lesbian lizard is back in a new light, now single again, teaching secondary school, and into sequels instead of originals. She's still just as awkward as her UT counterpart, but now with a little splash of authority now that she works with kids who kind of have to listen to her, instead of in a lab alone almost always. She barely speaks in her only real encounter with Kris before they're plunged into the Dark World, so all of her lines will most likely be from that interaction, and you're free to add any other lines you want from the end of the chapter! :0
Vocal inspiration can come from classic nerdy girl types with big glasses and nasally voices and shy personalities, as well as other popular Alphys VA's!
[Start this as if she was saying something else, maybe even ad lib some tangent about the project she's talking about! The ad lib is completely optional, though] So does everyone have a... [a slight cut off as the door opens, revealing Kris to the unsuspecting teacher] Oh... K-Kris...! We thought you weren't coming today! We're doing group projects this month! [a very small awkward pause] Uhhhh... so, walk around and find a partner, ok?
[distracted for a moment, before being jolted into conversation with Kris interacting with her] What? Wh-What am I watching on my phone? It's schoolwork, of course. [a pause before sheepishly trying to find an excuse] A... animated schoolwork... and... [sudden tone change to try and awkwardly cover up what she was doing] H-Hey, Kris, have you chosen a partner yet?
[trying to come down from possibly a mild panic attack from the sudden appearance of Susie, finally getting the class in some level of order with the late-comers] N-Now that everyone's here, I'll write the assignment! [a pause as she walks over to the chalkboard to find no chalk nearby, her tone nervous and possibly slightly pleading with her class as she speaks more] Uh... H-Has anyone seen the chalk? This is the third time it's gone missing and... Y-You all know I can't start class without some! [a pause as no one speaks up and she tries to mask her anxiousness, though her voice is still shaking] H-How about this? If no one speaks up... E-Everyone gets in trouble! [a pause once again] A... Anyone? P.... Please? [a pause as Noelle speaks] G-Good idea, Noelle! Susie, s-since you came in last... [her tone shifts slightly to a more polite one, her voice probably softening] Why don't you go get it for me...? [a pause as Susie speaks and then slams the door on her way out] And K... Kris... Can you go with her to make sure she... Um, actually gets it? And, um, stays out of trouble...? [a pause for Kris's response, and her tone gets a little more level and happy] Thanks, Kris! See you later!
goodness, the vocal work on this is amazing!! i have however finally found something i could see differently with alphys. she's an anxious lizard, and usually while with anxious people they tend to go higher in octave, she is also supposed to be understood as an adult, and id like to hear her voice be a decent bit lower in octave. some other lines you said with much different delivery than i myself would probably direct, and while its amazing and refreshing id probably ask for some retakes on some certain lines with different deliveries. the main one that stuck out was the "if no one speaks up, everyone gets in trouble" line, as id probably put a different tone to its delivery(a little hard to describe in text but probably something more akin to her voice kinda rising in tone and "confidence" to match how her faceset changes in the scene to a triumphant smile, kinda like shes just thought of a 'gotcha' for whoever stole the chalk yknow?). other than that lil bit and the octave, though, the tone and delivery were amazing!! they did sound decently same-y to your noelle(i probably wouldnt cast you for both so this is a non-issue tbh) but the energy to this one is different enough to where it still sounds unique! thanks again for auditioning. :)
Alrighty! Would you like me to submit a re-audition with those changes in mind?
if you would like to youre more than welcome !!
