Description: A 12th Generation Hero and member of both the anti-Eclipse unit and the Design Dept.
Bianchi traveled to the city of New Million with aims to become a designer. Due to family circumstances, he became a Hero, but he also works concurrently in the design department at HELIOS.

Bianchi is a confident, flamboyant, and playful person who enjoys all things beautiful. He also has a calm, rational, and comforting side as he not only acts as a sort of caretaker and confidant to his younger teammates, but also skillfully lures his enemies into captivating illusions. When raising his voice, he is not overly loud nor aggressive; his tone doesn’t change drastically.

Thanks for auditioning! Here's my feedback: - Unfortunately, your audio quality sounds closer to phone quality. - Your lines sound too similar to each other and lacks variation. It sounds more like you're reading the lines rather than acting out what the characters are doing (fighting). - For Jude, I hear you try to change your tone of voice, but the use of too much "breathiness" only serves to distract and doesn't let your emotion come across. I would say your pitch is at a medium, so it's also too high for this character. - For Bianchi, your grunts don't really sound like battle shouts, but rather more like "jumping".
Not much I can do about mic quality, but ill try to be more lively in auditions coming forward,
