Halo: Celestia, A Halo Audio Drama (New Role Added!)
zero-213 for Sgt. Greggory Ashton
*Note: I have almost all of this character's diologue for this project here for the audition. That does not mean the character will never be heard from again, but I think putting all of the diologue here with the context will make it easier for you to understand who the character is*
This character is a part of the rebellion forces waring with the United Earth Government. He is a pilot for one of the factions that consists of the insurgency. This character is generally companionate to those around him, especially to his old friend whom he records messages to. He is roughly around 25 years old or so, but it can be a bit younger or older. The main point of this character is that he is talking as if he is having a conversation with an old friend. Natural pauses and speaking patterns are needed for this role more than any other.
"But due to recent events, uh, well, let's just say things aren't looking good. Of course, that's not what I tell my crew, but, I think they all know it at heart. *slight sigh and muble* Everything's gone to shit. Donny and his boys decided to disregard the Council's orders. They took a one way flight to take the fight to Noctus. Crazy ass fools if you ask me. That place is already a shitstorm.
(mockingly) 'But they need reinforcements' he said.Hmph. Crazy old fool. You're a cargo pilot, not a soldier. Not that any of us really are. Well, most of us anyways. Uh, Kyle, he's doing fine, I guess. Going through a lot, you know, given the circumstances. But, I think he's going to be alright. Admittedly, I haven't talked to him in a few days, but it's not like we really have that luxury either. I think he will get back on his feet though. He always does. Even if it is a lot to deal with."
"Uh sorry about that, Thomas. I don't really have the time to edit out all of the fluff, so I hope you'll forgive me. At least this time you can't complain to me that I edit out all of my rants. Still don't know why you like listening to that crap.
Anyways, I got to get ready for the sweepers. Better make my bed and that. Hopefully you'll hear this in a reasonable amount of time. And, if not, then stop slacking! But, uh, you know. Take care of yourself. Hanging out in the Eridanus System like that, I hear it's not a great place to be right now. Anywho, I'll hear from you soon. Bye."
Really loved this audition. It really fit the tone of the character. Great job.
