(Recast) Ari Heartrun // For ANCIENT DEBRIS: PILOT
Ruth Lockerman for Ari
Vibe: Stoic-ish/Tomboy-ish
Accent: I imagine her having an american accent, but always open for some creative liberty.

Context for the efforts: They're fighting in an arena tournament.
2nd line context: This happens after the fight. They're now outside the fighting grounds, Ari is approaching Steve from behind as he leans on a fence, watching the sunset.
3rd line context: Same setting as second line but Ari's closer to Steve now (leaning on the fence beside him), This line is a response to Steve talking about his complicated relationship with Alex and her life choices (his little sister)
She sinks her axe into the ground, and GRUNTS as she grinds the axe forward and up, emitting a wall of fire aimed at Steve. // Successfully nullifying the lightning bolt, she ROARS as she launches herself towards Steve by using an explosive fire spell and GROWLS just right before she delivers TWO consecutive heavy axe swings, GRUNTING in each swing.
(Smiling) Gotta say, It’s not everyday we see you lose like that, Steve.
You know… before I came here, my dad tried to stop me. Said the- (mockingly) -journey was dangerous, (drops mock) That it was too risky. We argued. He thinks that if he could just convince me to do what he does, like his father convinced him, he’d be saving my life. (pause, faint smirk) Next day he gets a letter. Said, “I know it’s dangerous, but it’s mine… My journey, my risk” (looks at Steve)
ayee thank you so much for the re-audition :D
My pleasure! :) If you’d like me to try another take or pitch or energy, just let me know. No problem! I totally understand wanting to be sure. Good luck with your decision, there have been so many great auditions! :D
Many great auditions indeed! Don’t wanna take advantage of your kindness :,) but if you’re okay with it, I do have some things I'd like to hear you try as I think you’re reeally close to how I imagine Ari to sound like.
First of all, I really like how grounded and real everything feels in your take, so definitely wanna keep that element. But I’m wondering if you wanna do a take adding a bit more resolve and grit in her voice, coming from the weight of this life decision, while still keeping that pensiveness you've already got going.
The purpose of her telling this story is that she wants to sort of open Steve's eyes/teach him a lesson.
Yeah, a lot of talent over here. And absolutly I can. Thank you for the feedback and extra backstory!! I'll try right now. :)
