Let's Dub: Pokémon Scarlet (VA Casting!)
Jaxon for Hassel
Hassel is a member of the Paldea Elite Four, specializing in Dragon-types. Additionally, he teaches art at Naranja Academy. Hassel is a friendly, but emotional, older man, often bursting into tears every time he's moved by something. He comes from a long line of Dragon-type Trainers, and ran away from home when he was young to pursue his dreams. Hassel is an old friend of Brassius, one of the Gym Leaders, as both are experienced artists.

Your interpretation can vary, though, and does not need to match perfectly! We are not looking for an impression, but we wish to give a reference as part of the audition material.

"Pardon me. Would you be the one I've been hearing so much about? Nemona had mentioned there was a promising new face in the academy - yes, indeed. Oh, but I do apologize. I didn't mean to startle you by addressing you so suddenly. My name is Hassel. I'm one of the Elite Four of the Pokémon League. I also teach art classes at the academy."
"I was, of course, absolutely certain you would make it to me eventually. Young sprouts truly do grow with astounding speed, yes...but I never for a moment imagined we would be facing each other so soon!"
"I am Hassel, the dragon guarding the final fortress of the Elite Test. Prepare to learn firsthand how the fiery breath of ferocious battle feels!"
