PROJECT A [Working Title]- Indie Horror Game
Robert J. Butcher VO for Robert Mitchell
Robert Mitchell is a professional news anchor whose voice and delivery gradually deteriorate from standard broadcast formality into something increasingly sinister. His transformation should be subtle at first, then become overtly supernatural.
Key Vocal Characteristics:
- Initial register: Deep, authoritative broadcast voice
- Speech pattern: Professional cadence that becomes unnaturally rhythmic
- Transformation: Clean delivery degrades into menacing undertones
- Notable trait: Maintains news anchor formality even as voice distorts
Performance Notes:
- Begin with standard news delivery
- Gradually insert unnatural pauses
- Allow voice to drop to inhuman registers in later appearances
- Maintain professional tone even when delivering horrific content
[Tone: professional and serious, paced but firm] "Today is Tuesday, June 23, 2009. Reporting from the 7 News studio, this is Robert Mitchell. We interrupt our regular programming for a breaking news bulletin."
[Tone becomes more urgent and emphatic, without losing professionalism] "The situation is further complicated by the disappearance of 9-year-old Emily Carson. The child was not at the residence at the time of the discovery. Authorities have issued an AMBER Alert for the entire county."
[Tone blends professionalism with a subtle threat] "We will continue to provide updates as the story develops. For 7 News, this is Robert Mitchell." [Tone concludes with a clear, threatening edge] "LOOK BEHIND YOU."
