DARK ARTS – Retro Horror Audio Drama
JACVO for Voice Actor – Lisa Holloway (Quiet Witness / Female, 17)
Voice Type: Soft to medium tone, natural and grounded
Accent: American (neutral)
Tone: Hesitant, introspective, sharp when certain
Style: Understated, emotionally honest
Character Summary:
Lisa Holloway is a quiet, intelligent high school senior who’s been carrying a secret for months. She never expected to see something she couldn’t explain—and has tried hard to forget it. But now that someone else is asking questions, she’s ready to speak… even if her voice shakes.
This role requires subtle emotional layering. Lisa doesn’t cry or break down—but her discomfort shows in pauses, quiet intensity, and the moments where fear slips through. The performance should feel like someone trying to stay rational, even as memory pulls her into something darker.

(low, uneasy; like she’s admitting something out loud for the first time) “I tried to forget it. (short pause). Told myself it was just the dark… or the walk home… or maybe I was just tired. (voice softens, almost like she’s trying to believe it) But I wasn’t. I know I wasn’t.”
(quiet, unsettled; a little distant, like she’s replaying it) “She didn’t move. Just stood there by the bridge, like she was waiting for something. (beat) And then she was gone. Like she was never there at all.” (voice dips slightly at the end)
(controlled, but disturbed; voice lowers slightly) “It wasn’t just that I saw her… (beat, voice tightens) It was how she looked at me. Like she already knew who I was. I’ll never forget that look.”
Hi Jacvo, love your audition! I agree your recording was a little on the low side, but you nailed it with fragility and emotion. Welcome to the project! Have sent you a message. Best, Matt
