Let's Dub Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies
Ellyy At Your Service for Athena Cykes
NOTE: Potential long-term commitment role.
LINE COUNT: Very large for these 8 episodes. Less-so in future cases and series but still prominent.
Athena Cykes is a defense attorney working under Phoenix Wright at the Wright Anything Agency. She is a specialist in analytical psychology, which she studied in Europe. She has highly sensitive hearing and has the special ability to pick up subtle emotions from witnesses' voices, which she can then examine using a program called the "Mood Matrix". The Mood Matrix is linked to her AI partner Widget, who hangs around her neck and changes color with her emotions.

I’m not married to the previous take whatsoever and am completely open to all interpretations here - the video is just a reference to a performance we liked a lot before.
Voice pitch: Mid to mid-low. American, Female.
Personality: While she’s only a fledgling defense attorney, Athena is incredibly smart and uses analytics as her way of identifying inconsistencies in testimonies. She has strong emotions which can lead to recklessness, but she’s Type A, well-spoken and intelligent. She will carry the bulk of the lines in this case and be a prominent figure in future Dual Destinies cases. Feel free to throw any ad-libs you like into the following lines as well, as we embrace those for our main characters. The voice of Athena will also be the robot voice for Widget.

Give me some incidentals: “OBJECTION!” “HOLD IT!” TAKE THAT!” ….give me these in Widget voice, too.
(proving to the court that a covered statue looks like Phoenix Wright) "Apollo, tie me up into a new pose! Wait, you're not into this kind of stuff, are you?"
It's just, I thought that if my special ability could help defend innocent people... ...then I had to do everything in my power to bring it to the courtroom! That's when I really started hitting the books hard!
Thanks for the audition! I like to give everyone feedback but I need to make sure - are you open to receiving it?
For sure! Please give me as much as you can :) I want to get better!
Your audio quality and the voice itself aren't bad. The acting is lacking in a lot of areas though and, honestly, I'd guess it's probably just inexperience. The read is very dry, like you're reading a book for the first time. There's no energy in it. I do appreciate the effort though and feel free to audition for more roles in the future.
