Smiles of Insanity (A Mario Fan Film)
salina for Queen Jaydes
Jaydes is the queen of the Underwhere, a place where deceased souls are sent when their lives first end. She is the one in charge of weighing the sins of the dead and determining their rewards and punishments. She is quite strict and takes her job relatively seriously, especially when it comes to passing judgement on those who have done wrongdoings beyond redemption. She is an obvious parody of Hades, the ancient Greek god of the underworld.
Jaydes is:
• a tiny role; only appears in one scene
• not required to swear or show romantic love
Her voice should be soft but stern; quite regal in tone; both English and American accents acceptable. Feel free to add lines from the game appearance. You don't have to add random noises as there are none to add in the first place.
[to Fawful] You... What business have you with me? I am Queen Jaydes. Mistress of the Underwhere! Ruler of those with ended games!
[distastefully] You. I suppose you haven't come to have your sins weighed... Unless it's a continue you're after?
[shocked] D-Men! Seize them!

Hello! I auditioned twice-- once with an American accent and once with a little more of a British influence. The latter one (the one I'm commenting on) is angrier, too. I realize now that angry may not be what you're going for. I gathered that after having read your critiques on others' auditions. >_o Whoops. I'm good at taking direction, though, and would happily do another voice sample with different direction. Just let me know if you'd like me to try again. Until then, I don't want to take up too much space on the audition thread by submitting again. ^^;
All good, thanks a lot! Don't worry about taking up space on the page, ha ha. In terms of "anger levels", I'd say the last two lines are just fine – the first line should have a sort of default friendliness since it's what she says to everyone who first approaches, expecting to weigh their sins. The second line is when she sees the other person who's tagged along who she holds a particular disdain for, so the subtle anger there is fine. For the third line (on both of your auditions), it needs to be a bit shoutier, perhaps? She says that just as they're escaping so there needs to be a bit more of a panic in there. Otherwise, nice work! Thank you!
Hi, you should've received a message from a member of the cast on my behalf, lemme know if it didn't reach you!
