Desert's Edge- Short Junior Film
Mika Thomas for Benjamin Bennet
Description
A door to door salesman and part time conman. On the job, he presents himself as a cheery companion and easy to talk to. Off the job, he is skittish and moody. As a way to gain extra money, he has decided to sell information on bounties, acting as a private eye and conman. After time he became a bounty himself for conning bounty hunters. Personality wise, he’s a pathetic coward at best, running away when the situation seems fit and having other people do the dirty work for him (even to the extent of throwing others under the bus in a state of panic). He can easily become stressed out, can sometimes be quick to annoy and can be quite snappy and sarcastic with his interactions with others. He can also play the role of the dealmaker and can be a good, intelligent voice of reason.
Voice Ideas:
In my head originally, I had imagined his voice to be similar to Nick Valentine from Fallout 4 with a VERY SLIGHT boston accent similar to a stereotypical noir detective. He has a bit of gruff in his voice but still a smooth talker, almost like a salesman. (I mean he is a salesman). Think skittish and a rat basically. Any male voices in these ranges are welcomed! Here are the examples of what I’m looking for:

“Was somethin supposed to happen or ? ..Ya know, I really was expecting somethin sort of terrifyin if this was gonna be you closin the curtains on me.” (confused then disappointed)
“Hey I think your uh friend or whatever is tryin to tawk to ya pal.” (irritated)
Well well well, ain’t this such a sight for a “team”. Great work you two, I am SOOOO scared. (sarcasm)
