RWBY: Gears of Fate
Willowwind for Weiss Schnee
Weiss speaks very clearly and eloquently. She maintains an air of professionalism and dignity at all times, and even when she does lose her temper, she tries to remain classy. It's very rare for her to not be speaking in a clear, straightforward tone, but when she is more vulnerable, she can at times sound like a completely different person, whether it be someone much more soft spoken and unsure of themselves, or someone much louder and more forceful.
Being one of the main four, Weiss would be a very active role with a lot of dialogue, so for anyone who would want to audition for her, that's something important to keep in mind.
I read through the four chapters that make up the Volume 0.5 that is being cast, totaling up the amount of words this role would say, and how long it took me to read them to myself. The estimated word count is that number rounded up to the nearest hundred and the total time rounded up to the nearest minute. As I was keeping time, I would round up by a second or two. So the count and read time aren't exact, but should be very close.
[Weiss's brother is taunting her about her decision to fight a Grimm to prove to her father that she's worthy of going to Beacon. She's lashing out at him for saying that she might be scarred in some way.]
(Loud, irritated)
“My appearance doesn’t matter! If it means freedom, let my face be smashed in, if that’s what it takes!”
[Weiss is before her father and older sister, reaffirming her resolve to take her father's test.]
(Resolute, composed, confident)
“I am wholly intent on confirming my enrollment to Beacon Academy, as I’ve told you. Whatever it is you have in store for me today, I won’t run from it.”
