The Purgatorians recasting call | Original ambitious audio drama
Taylor May for Raven Gosse
Current Plot line - She is acting as a double agent for the Purgatorians and Abraham.
Main character who requires a lot of commitment as she is in the show a long time and can't be written out because she is tied to the main story in a huge way
Female - 25-35 - Elegant British accent like Morrigan's in Dragon Age (Please see video). Those with a British accent will be considered before an American accent, but if all else fails, an American accent will suffice if I'm forced into it. She is heavily inspired by Morrigan, so please make sure you can provide the tones she speaks in. Don't make the delivery flat please. Clear audio only please.
Raven is sarcastic and condescending to all but Abraham and Demetrius. She believes herself to be above everyone else in the group. She can manipulate people to do things her way quite easily. I would like her to have sharp wit and mocking and condescending tones like Morrigan in Dragon Age. She is mean through sarcasm and jest, not mean directly.
Raven would see humor as a weakness and would not chuckle unless she found something absolutely ridiculous or was embarrassed, such as when she thinks she is getting flattered as she is not used to such things happening. Keep her sarcasm on show as well as her bluntness, she always cuts straight to the point.
Please see this video to see how Morrigan speaks. If you need more examples, just look up Morrigan, Dragon Age.

(Friendly) I am not sure whether he knows that or not, it was never mentioned however we both know Abraham likes to hold his cards close to his chest, especially where the council is concerned. He may know more than he is letting on however I will act as a double agent, acting on behalf of both you and my uncle.
(Condescending, mocking) Oh, I underestimated you. You can try my dear but you will never be able to see the real me, I will continue to amaze and surprise you throughout our journey. Everytime you think you have figured me out, something will happen that will blow your theory into the tiniest pieces. I would not even bother trying.
(Condescending, mocking) I speak to him as his superior whereas you all stumble upon your words. You show him you hold no confidence and he will not see this as a true formation until you do. You remember what you said to me outside the church Jamie? How official you sounded? This needs to be applied to all those who try to undermine your authority. When we tried to gain access to the barracks you acted like a little puppy who had just urinated in his masters shoes.
Line 1 - Very quiet. You would need to raise the recording volume otherwise we would introduce hiss by adding about 20db to it. That could be problematic. The delivery itself got better as the line went along.
Line 2 - Don't laugh at the beginning. The bio says she wouldn't laugh. If a laugh is needed, it is in the directions. Quite a few are doing this. Very quiet again. The line sounded very friendly. She is being condescending to them and mocking them. 'If I were you' is not needed. I do allow ad libs for most characters, but Raven is a special case that must be exact otherwise this could ruin her character.
Line 3 - Very quiet again. Anger again. A lot are doing anger on this line. Angry is not a part of the directions. Not the correct delivery at all.
Hello there, thank you so much for the feedback I really do appreciate it! If you'd like I can try again and keep your notes in mind when I record again.
Again thank you so much and I hope you have a wonderful day!
Sincerely,
Taylor May
