isojames for Dr. John Johannes (LEAD/SINGING)
John Johannes is a nervous man in his mid thirties or forties with a regret-filled past. Although he rarely takes initiative, he offers a realistic outlook on life that some would find helpful, others pessimistic. His closest relationship is with his co-worker, Dr. Phillipa Reed, who he's worked with for almost a decade in the field of aerospace engineering. He speaks his mind when angry, but rarely agrees to accept any kind of help that is offered his way. This role has a few singing parts, though you do not have to be a good singer to audition! The last audition line requires singing. Please visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRb1-SAAIzs and start at 0:47 so you'll have a good idea of how it goes. (You can record your line while listening to it!)

We weren’t chosen to do any of this! It was completely random– a chance with millions of odds stacked against us. Nobody ever told us ‘Hello, there good sir and madam, be a doll and live on for all of us, why don’t you?’
Think about it, Phillipa, we’re stuck in this tiny tin can with a limited amount of resources and no hope of finding more anytime soon. You’re not thinking about the long-term!
