Character Summary:

Margaret Lane is a woman shaped by silence. She’s spent nearly a decade in a psychiatric facility after a series of events left her isolated from the small town she grew up in. Once curious and fiercely intuitive, she now speaks with a strange clarity—like someone who’s lived too long with what others refuse to see.

She isn’t angry. She isn’t hysterical. But her voice carries the weight of things left unsaid. When she speaks, it’s slow, careful—almost like she’s testing the air around each word.

This role calls for subtle emotional control. Margaret has been broken, but not erased. Her pain lives just under the surface, and her truth comes out in steady, unsettling bursts.

Key Vocal Traits:

• Quiet, reflective tone with moments of intensity
• Worn delivery—emotion is there, but rarely spills out
• Often distant or distracted, but sharp when locked in
• Emotional control with flashes of rawness when pushed
