ALONE (A Batman Audio Drama)
uriahxg for The Joker / Jack Napier
Versatility is a must here. Joker & Jack are two seperate character voices entirely, but I want them voiced by the same actor.
For Joker I would prefer something along the lines of Mark Hamill and Troy Baker. Perhaps even grittier than the two of them, but not too far off.
As for Jack I'd like something similar, but tamed. Not that the 'joker voice' is drained of life -- Jack is a very bright/vibrant character, despite the horrors around him -- but that the... I don't know, if you just took out the sinister clown? Also,Jack is very prone to stuttering. He is severely nervous by nature.
Confusing, I know, but improvisation is encouraged! Just be as genuine as you can.
Feel free to do as many takes as necessary to show your different ideas. Improv if you'd like.
[Joker sample.] : "My dear girl… I can see you've convinced yourself of this particular delusion. That you really believe it to be true. It would be almost sweet, if it weren't so terribly pathetic. It's funny. They've got me locked up in here, and yet, there you are, clearly not operating in any sort of reality, but free to move about as you please. The absurdity of it is almost too much to bear.
[Jack sample] : Jeannie, I'm… I'm going to make it right. I'm going to make things right for us. We'll get out of the Narrows. We'll live someplace nice like… like you've always wanted to. I'll… I'll call Ace back up, I'll ask them if… if they still want me there, if… if they're still willing to put me through college… Things will be alright Jeannie. Things will be alright for you and the baby. I… I promise they will.
Improv welcome!
