Passage of the Wanderer: A Firnuvan Tale
Tabberdog for Teyama
A sort of… self-made puppeteer. Teyama, having long been a tool of the Order of Flame is not exactly antiquated with the social cues of the world around her, frequently getting far too up close and personal with people, and pushing them far out of their comfort zone. She also frequently ignores social taboos, finding little sense in them and seeing them more as annoying obstacles than anything. She is a Sgotor, {Spiderfolk} possessing both humanoid and arachnid-like features. She operates a theater on the outskirts of Kemaija where she uses live human beings as puppets via her webbing and performs with them for empty crowds. She means no harm really, and doesn’t understand her puppets see her as holding them hostage. Speaks with a bit of a lisp.
“And with thiss, your outfit is complete Mss. Diane, don’t you think it’ss sso accurate to the concept of Opiah’s character?”
“Wh-What?.. N-No! I’m not a bad persson, I’m just an artisst! I feed and I housse them all with the finest accomadationss! What more couldsst they want more than five sstar meals and plussh bedding?”
“I thinkss a lot of people ssee me as sstupid, but I am not I assssure you. I have sstudied extenssively on the concepts of the Qumakian Condition in textbookss and journalss.”
Amazingly, you handle the lisp aspect of the character really well. Many actors will overdo it and make it sound unnatural and over the top, but you do it in a really nice natural sounding sort of way which is entirely what I wanted for Teyama. You unfortunately stumble over the lines a lot and get lost in where you're going it seems. Try just going over the lines a couple times perhaps without the lisp at first to make sure you have a grasp on them, and really ensure you can go through them without stumbling over them or repeating them. From there, add in the lisp and once again make sure you can go through the whole line cleanly before you record.
Thank you so much for your critique! I will re-audition with improvements!
