Archie Sonic Comics Dub - Casting for Numerous Sonic Characters
Zilla for Shadow the Hedgehog
Shadow the Hedgehog is the end result of Project Shadow; he was meant to be the Ultimate Lifeform. Gifted with extraordinary power and plagued with disturbing trauma, Shadow the Hedgehog went from a scientific experiment to his very own person. Once a creation of professor Gerald Robotnik, to a tool of destruction at the hands of his creator's grandson, to becoming a powerful ally to Sonic the Hedgehog. Soon, he joined the United Federation, serving the true purpose of why he was created.
Shadow is arrogant, determined, and somewhat cold. He often speaks bluntly and doesn't sugarcoat anything. He often comes off as uncaring and does not take kindly to outside interference, believing he is capable of handling situations on his own. Unlike Sonic, Shadow will go one step further than defeating an opponent; he'll try to kill them. Shadow believes that the ends justify the means.
Shadow's voice can be impressions from the games or cartoons. If you've got a David Humphrey, Jason Griffith, or Kirk Thornton Shadow voice you'd like to audition with, please go for it. You are more than welcome to put your own spin on the voice. We are looking for the voice that we believe best captures Shadow in these comics.
[In general]
"I am Shadow the Hedgehog, the ultimate lifeform."
"CHAOS CONTROL!"
[from Sonic Universe 2]
(when falling down to the Earth, like he did in Adventure 2)
"This is what you wanted... wasn't it... Maria?"
[from Sonic Universe 1]
"I have been been dueling with a robot called Metal Sonic. It has some kind of engine that can move it between zones. Using my own Chaos Control abilities, I have followed it here."
[from Sonic Universe 2]
"We believe the doctor is losing his last hold on reality. This is but one more piece of evidence."
[from Sonic X 40]
(Shadow's fight with Metal Sonic from issue 196 brings him to the Sonic X Universe. Here, he has a conversation with X Sonic)
"You have a very peaceful world, Sonic. But I was created to protect my own world. I cannot rest or enjoy any peace until I know my duty has been fulfilled."
Definitely have the cadence of Shadow down pat. This is a good audition i think the line "Chaos Control" Could have been done just a little better but mostly a good audition
The feedback is appreciated! Obviously if I got the part I'd redo that read, just wasn't sure what the context was so I went with a standard "chaos control." Again thank you for leaving a reply!
Your welcome. I'm trying to respond to every single audition to give feedback and compliments. As a director I feel it's my job to do so but again nice work
