Description:
Draego is the grumpy, brilliant, and endlessly sarcastic mentor of Let Me Be a Star. Think Dr. House, but in monkey form — always two steps ahead, constantly smoking, and never delivering a straight answer. He mocks the protagonist relentlessly, but behind the jabs and eye-rolls is a mind full of ancient knowledge and a soul burdened by secrets. Draego doesn’t believe in sugarcoating the truth — or in emotional speeches — yet somehow manages to guide others exactly where they need to go… in his own maddening way.

Voice Direction:

• Dry, sarcastic delivery is key. Voice should sound intelligent, irritated, and effortlessly condescending.

• Should have a “seen it all, done with the nonsense” energy.

• Needs the ability to subtly reveal emotion without ever becoming sentimental.

• Think Dr. Gregory House.
