Wings of Fire Analysis - The Dark Side of Kinkajou
TheMaskedRebel for Ruby
Ruby is the daughter of the queen and next in line for the throne. Knowing that Ruby may challenge her for Queenship, the current queen uses magic to transform Ruby's personality into that of someone who would never dare to challenge for the throne. As the book progresses, she has to grapple with her identity: which personality is the real her? Regardless of which personality is in control, Ruby is a wise and caring person. She can be intense when she needs to be and has a generally "queenly" demeanor.
*In a serious conversation, telling her sister to take less risks*
"I don't want to watch you die."
*In a mocking imitation of her mother's voice*
"I have thrillingly murdered one daughter! Why stop there? Who needs daughters anyway, right?"
"I am Ruby. I remember everything about being her. All I need to do is to look like her again."
*Another character then asks her if she wants to be her true self, to which she responds:*
"I will be myself. Ruby is the Skywing queen and Cliff's mother."
First, this is a solid audition! Second, here are some friendly recommendations: (1) casting directors can see your name and the role you're auditioning for via the website so leaving that part out of the audio helps us get to the voice faster. (2) edit out pauses between lines (it might sound weird at first to hear almost no pause between one line and the next, but we have to listen to a lot of these auditions so the faster you move between lines, the better) (3) Overexaggerate the emotions; it will feel silly when you're recording but with just audio we have no visual cues (like facial expressions) to infer feeling so the voice REALLY has to carry that.
