Overlord Abridged - Casting Call #2
Hunter Taylor for Ainz Ooal Gown
The player behind Ainz is a bit of a socially inept nerd who has trouble making friends and has a few abandonment issues due to a troubled past. As a result, he's very protective and clingy with his friends and loved ones but is also a bit of a spaz when he's suddenly thrust into unfamiliar situations.
When playing the character of Momonga/Ainz, he takes on a persona closer to what we see in the original show. He is often prone to trying to use what he thinks are cool one-liners, but they tend to fall flat, unfortunately.
His player voice should sound a bit like your typical anime protagonist, but his Ainz voice should sound deeper and more imposing, while still allowing room for humor and other more lighthearted emotions.
Feel free to improvise.
(Ainz voice)
Honestly, for someone who talked such big game, I thought you'd put up more of a fight.
(Player voice)
My god...those people...those people are getting slaughtered. They’re not even fighting back... Maybe if I were there, I could help them. I’m certain I have the power, but...
(player voice)
Shit! I just realized this is my big reveal! Gotta say something cool, gotta say something cool, gotta say something cool- OH! Got it!
(Ainz voice)
Fear not, civilians. Hope has arrived. Because I am here.
(player voice)
Fuckin’ nailed it.
I love it! If you're interested, I'd love to hear you try out for some other characters too, if its not too much trouble :)
Thank you so much! I actually auditioned for Mare and Gazef as well. Did you have anyone else in mind?
Not right off the top of my head, but I'd encourage you to keep an eye out for when casting for episode 2 comes around! I feel great potential in you, young Skywalker >:)
