St. Agatha City Voice Casting
M Sheep for Denver Washington
NOTES: Has a Boston accent, and a nasal, grating voice.
Description
Denver is not a native to St. Agatha City, he is actually from Boston, Massachusetts, and moved to Missouri as a teen. As such, he has a very thick Boston accent. His voice is nasally and somewhat high pitched and whiny by nature, and so in an attempt to cover this he oftentimes speaks forcing it lower, as to appear more traditionally masculine. This just leads to his voice growling and cracking somewhat unfortunately, and it isn’t even that convincing. The best examples I’ve found so far is Steve Buscemi in Trees Lounge, and Brendan Lukens of Modern Baseball. He speaks very quickly, being a verbose person despite his standoffishness.
Denver is… caustic, to put it lightly. He intentionally pushes other people away, as he deeply fears that if he allows them to get close, they won’t like what they see. As such, he is quite an unlikable man, however, this is fully on purpose. He is clever and quick witted, and uses this to get under people’s skin as quickly as possible, despite rarely actually believing the meanspirited things he says. Despite this, due to his character development that involves him learning to be a more approachable person, he is a fandom favorite (despite its small size.)
Because Denver assumes people’s opinion of him is automatically negative, he wants to take control of his fate and choose for people to not like him, instead of waiting for them to, in his mind, inevitably leave him.
"Uh huh. I'm from Boston. I gotta little brother named Austin, who was born after the move. My parents wanna have a girl, 'n name her Paris. That's fuckin' ridiculous, right? That's not even in America."
(Joking) "You better calm down. Someone might think you actually like me or something."
(Emotionally devastated, but speaking in a quiet, level tone) "You... you think I'd do that to you...? I don't just hang around you because I think I'll get somethin', okay?”
