HELIOS Rising Heroes: Sing in the darkness
harold ingram đź–¤ for Jude Ares
Age: 25
Substance (Ability): Never Die (Capable of self-regeneration)
Description: A 12th Generation Hero and member of the anti-Eclipse unit.
Jude is a two-faced person who appears sociable and trustworthy, but in reality, he isn’t interested in mundane things. His motivation to become a Hero stems from the fact that he was born unable to feel pain, and so he became a thrill-seeker. He likes combat more than anyone else.
Pitch: Medium-low
Traits: Strong tone that can become quite raspy. A Hero who sounds more like an antagonist.
Jude has two personalities.
Normal Personality: Seemingly calm, charismatic, sociable, and trustworthy. Sounds slightly monotone/sarcastic.
Combat Personality: Prevalent for the scope of this project. Shows up during combat where he becomes extremely arrogant, yet is bored and looking for some entertainment. (His combat personality retains some aspects of his normal personality)
In “Frenzy Mode”, he becomes more excited, deranged, and reckless as he’s found his thrill. His voice also becomes very raspy and he enunciates words more harshly.
Other notes: He has an unusual obsession with his teammate Bianchi.

[Combat Personality - Normal speech] [Unapologetic, Uninterested in cooperating with his teammates during battle.] “Sorry, but it's every man for himself.”

[“Frenzy Mode” (Raising voice). Deranged, Elated, Boisterous laughter that is not “cartoonish”. Unable to contain his excitement. About to pulverize the enemy.] “Keh-… hehe… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
Thank you for auditioning! I thought your first line "Sorry, but..." seemed a little unnatural, like you're partially closing off your airway. I listened to some of your other auditions and this nasal tone isn't necessarily present in them, so perhaps you were trying to force a more arrogant tone here? Otherwise, your "frenzy" lines were performed well and you have the right pitch and enough energy and rasp for this character. The little ad-libs at the beginning of your lines worked well too!
woah, impressive catch on your end! ^^ yes, i've been playing with a nasal-ish tonality as of late, and for Jude it was to play up his arrogance a bit as you had mentioned!
that being said, thank you a ton for the feedback, i'm glad to hear i was in the character's ballpark, haha!
