DARK ARTS – Retro Horror Audio Drama
David Brownlee for Voice Actor – Mark Bledsoe (Cynical Teen Metalhead / Male, 16)
🎙️ Role: Mark Bledsoe (16, male)

Accent: American (neutral or slight regional)
Tone: Sarcastic, intense, slightly offbeat
Style: Expressive but natural—avoid overacting
Character Summary:
Mark Bledsoe is the kind of kid who makes people uncomfortable. He’s into horror, conspiracy theories, and occult symbols most kids wouldn’t even recognize. But behind the sarcasm and eye-rolls is a sharp mind that picks up on things others miss. He’s convinced the local legends are real—and if you let him talk long enough, he’ll tell you exactly why.
This role requires dry wit, teenage cynicism, and an undercurrent of obsession. The actor should be able to switch between a sarcastic tone and eerie seriousness when the subject hits too close to home. Think metalhead stoner who knows too much for his age.

“You ever notice how the cops never find anything? (slight pause) Like… not even a fucking wristwatch, a jacket, shoe—nothing. (beat, voice lowers) Nothing, man. These kids are vanishing, and it’s not some damn random psycho—this shit goes way back.”
“You ever listen to Jack Romero on The Midnight Hour? (smirks) Everyone says he’s coo coo, but he’s talking the truth, man. (leans forward slightly) He knows what’s going on.”
“Yeah, you think missing kids sounds normal? (mock disbelief) The cops just write it off as some stalker or runaway—like that’s easier to swallow. (beat) But this shit’s satanic, dude. I shit you not. (leans in, drops voice) It’s ritual-level messed up.”
