Riley is an 18-year-old girl. She's a pretty smart and mature girl, similar to Brooke. Excellent portrayal of emotions and good intonation is imperative for this character, including the portrayal of heavier emotions such as fear and distress. As the game goes on, Riley gets possessed and will be different. While possessed, she, or really the entity, plots to kill her friends. In her possessed state, Riley shouldn't overtly "demonic," but rather slightly/moderately creepy and off-putting. However, there needs to be a clear difference in the possessed vs unpossessed lines. The player should be able to tell whether the possessed or unpossessed Riley is speaking quite easily (at least, once they're aware of the possession plot point). Possession will likely start more subtle and become gradually more pronounced, obvious, and eccentric. Throughout the game, Riley will switch back and forth from being possessed to unpossessed.  The possessed lines should be easily distinguishable between the unpossessed lines, but, as stated earlier, shouldn't sound ridiculously over the top. Being able to pull off the unpossessed vs possessed lines and the extreme emotions are the two biggest parts of this role. 

In most cases, Riley will have three different types of lines -- 

     1) memory lines. These will generally be lines that are memories of the past (e.g. the player picks up a birthday card and there's a memory of her birthday and a line associated with that.) These lines will be from before anything weird started happening.  

      2) unpossessed, where she acts like a how fairly typical, and pretty mature 18-year-old girl would act in a given situation. These lines will include things like Riley being afraid of what is happening to her (as one would be if there was some dark presence watching and controlling her). While unpossessed, she knows that something's going on. She's basically herself again. At first, Riley doesn't believe what she's seeing/feeling but grows to frantically trying to rid herself of the entity and trying to get help from her friends, parents, and more. The entity doesn't always have a stranglehold on her and these lines are those moments when possession is lost. 

     3) possessed. These lines should be delivered as stated earlier.

Audition lines:

• "I found something in the science room. Come quick!" (excited) (unpossessed)


• "I found something in the science room. Come quick!" (slightly possessed) (still a discernible difference from unpossessed, but it's not immediately obvious)


• "I found something in the science room. Come quick!" (more possessed) (obvious difference in delivery from when she's unpossessed)


• "No! No! Please stop!" (very distressed, screaming/shrieking, not possessed) (being able to pull off the shrieking is essential)
