RPG Maker Video Game Demo: (Male Antagonist VA Needed!)
MrDarkPhoenix for Wrath
The Sin of Wrath, otherwise known as Hayes Rast, is the Antagonist of Our Dying World. At the start of the game most of the characters who know him seem to view him as different to how he once was... Wrath is, as his name would suggest, wrathful. He has a lot of strength and power, and his voice should be able to reflect this. Commanding a room, declaring war, all these things should seem normal for a character like Wrath. He is usually calm and collected, but when provoked, Wrath is quick to anger, as seen in some of the voice lines above. There is certainly a lot more to his character than first meets the eye...
Voice Description: We're looking for a more mature-natured voice, but the timbre could be anything--we're open to interpretation. While Wrath might be technically middle aged, there is a handful of lore reasons as to why he could sound younger, so 22-36 is around the range for the voice.
Accents: We're mostly looking for a North American accent--that being said we are open to hearing the character read with all kinds of accents so long as they sound natural.
Please follow the line directions in (parenthesis) and feel free to do 2-3 takes.
(Wrath's acquaintances are not giving him what he wants, resulting in him needing to take it by threatening Greed's life)
(Growling) Now then, Pride, why don’t you hand me the dagger? Unless you want me to start squeezing...! Come on, don’t be stupid here.
(frustrated at one of the few people he respects, Wrath is trying to convince him that General Havran should join his cause, but the man is set on remaining defiant)
(growling, frustrated) You’re so close, Havran… So close to perfection! It would be a waste to have Sloth revive you after you die. Her strings would only limit you. Become a demon and work with me! If you accept my offer, I’ll leave the fallen angels untouched! You’ll have fulfilled your duty.
(Havran refuses and says he is going to make it so he can't become a puppet)
(yelling, angry) HAVRAN!
(Leaving, Wrath is condescending, because these people used to be his friends at one point, but he isn't above killing them if they do get in his way.)
(darkly) Normally, I would have just killed you for not listening to me, but I decided against it. After all, you did help set these grand events into motion. I owe you two as much. Stay out of my way in the future. I won’t be so charitable next time.
Hello MrDarkPhoenix! Feedback: Typically all lines are supposed to be read, as we're trying to hear the different range of emotions in the character, that's why three are provided with varying levels of emotions! Also, there's a decent bit of room tone or background noise in your recording. Try reading the line two or three times in different ways, to bring them to life rather than a very slow and careful read. That works for some characters, but Wrath in particular, with his quickness to anger, has a wide variety of emotions and his tone should be able to reflect that. Hope that helps!
Sure thing! my apologies it's the first time I submitted auditions on this site so I thought since I couldn't do all 3 lines separately that i just picked one only lol I'll get started on that right away! and thank you for the feedback I will do it again asap.
No problem, we all have to learn somewhere! I'm happy to listen to your new audition--I'll pre-categorize this audition as "not cast" so don't freak out when you see it, it's just to help me remember you had a new audition.
