Spider-Man and Batman: Disordered Minds (SFM Animated Adaptation)
DJPetret94 for Carnage/Cletus Kasady
Carnage is one of if not the most violent character in Marvel's history. Cletus Kasady was a serial killer who shared a cell with Eddie Brock (AKA Venom), and when the Venom symbiote broke Eddie out of prison, it left behind a spawn that would attach itself to Kasady, making him even more dangerous as Carnage. Carnage was so bloodthirsty and destructive, it forced Spider-Man and Venom to team up to stop him. This would happen a second time when Carnage escaped Ravencroft and put together a band of other villains to tear apart New York City in the infamous "Maximum Carnage" incident. Carnage believes that life is meaningless and chaotic, and that there is no real plan. He acts on impulse and bloodlust, killing mercilessly for no reason other than because he can.
Carnage's voice is... a tricky thing. Obviously the first thing many people are going to do is go straight for Woody Harrelson's Carnage voice from Let There Be Carnage or the one from the 90's cartoon. I want NEITHER of those. Woody Harrelson's Kasady and Carnage are too different from this version to work, and the 90's one is too over the top. If you can do the 90s voice but slow it down by 50% (because the 90s show's pacing is way too fast), that works, but I want something similar to Cameron Monaghan's Jerome Valeska from Season 1 of Gotham (reference here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gROKtojleQg), maybe mixed with a bit of a redneck accent. That sort of creepy serial killer vibe, the kind that prefers to just destroy and cause chaos without much thought put into it. Someone that can go from calm to insane in a microsecond. Woody Harrelson's Kasady can also work, but keep in mind that this is Kasady's mind as Carnage, not Kasady and Carnage being two separate entities like the movie.
Note: Carnage's voice will have two variations: One with the symbiote, and one without it. I urge people to send in their normal voices without effects if possible, as I'll be adding in the effects, which I will likely use for Venom later if I do something with him in another production. For this reason, I posted what Kasady will most likely look like in the thumbnail for his audition profile here, because Carnage's mind is Kasady's mind as well. Getting Kasady down is the key to doing Carnage right. Anyone who tries to do a deep monster voice for Carnage will not be picked.
[Introduction Line] I have to say, Doctor Kafka (pronounced Kahf-kuh)... that I LOOOOVE all this attention! You know... when I was a little boy, mommy and daddy ignored me. THAT'S why I grew up to be so bad. I'm just a poor kiddie who wants someone to pay attention to him. And now that you got me to admit that... I guess I'm cured! So why don't you let me out of here?
[Threatening Special Crimes Unit officers] I don’t care if they’ve got microwave ovens! YOU IDIOTS TAKE SO MUCH AS ONE STEP CLOSER… and I’ll be performing some ON-THE-SPOT SURGERY on the good doctor! This’ll no longer be a street, it’ll be an operating table! Snip… snip… SNIP! Time of death? (Cackles) Luckily for you losers, I’m feeling rather benevolent tonight! Y’see, I’m in somewhat of a hurry… so I’ll make ya a deal! Back off… and I’ll let you live! Now ain’t that generous of me? You can go home to your wife and children, tell them you met death face-to-face… and he gave you a SECOND CHANCE!
You’ve spoiled my fun once too often, Spider-Man! And tonight, I’m going to rip your vocal chords out right through your mouth!
