Insectarium - Chapter 1
GoblinmuncherVA for Bernard Beaulieu
Role: Major
Benard is a major character in Insectarium Chapter 1. He does not physically appear in any future chapters, but will still have voice lines (meaning minor commitment after the initial recording of chapter 1)
Benard is a man in his early 60s of a mix of Franco-Ontarian and Quebecois descent. At the point of the game, he has already been trapped for almost 5 months. Therefore, his performance should reflect a bit of desperation and despair. Benard is a more traditionalist person and is only somewhat good at hiding things. He is normally a very calm and collected man, though what he's been through does make that a little bit more of an act. A good emotional range is required for the role. His default tone is calm but a little unnerving at times.
The auditioner may choose what they feel is the best tone for the voice lines. This is mostly to allow the auditioner to show off their skills. Please note that audition results won't be all that based on how well you predicted the intended emotion since I will be providing direction.
Please link your demo reel and/or works you've been in. I'd appreciate a demo reel more, but if you truly don't have one, the other works will allow me to get a better idea of your acting skills. You can also share any further information or socials as long as it's pertinent to your work.

I should hope you remember me, I've only been missing for 5 months
I can't grow back my legs or nose, but it wouldn't be hard to turn me back into a normal man.
Don't pretend like you know what I've been through!
Good evening,
I am here to inform you that you did not get the role for either Ian nor Bernard. I actually did like your audition (at least for Bernard, Ian's wasn't really my cup of tea), but there was this odd quality to it. I could hear your breath at the end of each word and while I think that was intentional (seeing as he's an older character), it didn't completely sit right with me. Especially since this is a game and it'd feel a little uncanny to have those breaths.
Either way, I hope you have better luck on future audition and I hope you can find a role
It is no problem I actually do appreciate that feedback! I recently set up a new sound booth and am still testing it out so that does help me out, thank you!
