[CLOSED] When Tower Angels Fall | Dystopian Podcast Series
Joseph David Spence for Amos
Early 30s. Impressionable. Attentive. Unpredictable.
Amos Emmens is Ksenia’s newest partner (more like assistant), assigned to his first case of interrogation. He’s just about aware of the dark reality of his work, but has a strangely morbid curiosity for it all that seems at odds with his gentle demeanour and dislike of violence. Perhaps being neck deep in those end-of-the-world riots affected him more than most would realise to look at him.
Voice type: medium-high pitch, any accent. A little jittery and soft-spoken, but with the capability to go to dark places and extreme emotion.
**Comfort with singing is desired. Amos doesn’t necessarily need an outstanding singing voice – in fact, almost the opposite is preferred – but know he has a scene where singing briefly is required.
[nervous, trying to piece together his thoughts; not quite frantic but trying hard to prove himself right]
Specifically, she – before she lost it, she was listing notes – musical notes, I mean. They might’ve seemed random – she was pretty delirious – but, I… Y’know, I think they were a sequence. An actual melody, just… fragmented…!
[soft, manipulative, doubling down as he goes along]
Angels tell their darkest secret – just once – to earn their wings. You want that, don’t you? Angels tell their secret to be free of it forever. You understand… we have to hold everyone else’s to keep them safe. Don’t we?
[starting soft but growing in intensity and anger, shouting by the end]
I need your secret, Eden… Where have you been hiding…? Eden… (Beat.) Answer me. (Beat.) Eden. (Beat.) EDEN!
