The Purgatorians Urgent Recasting Call 2
Tsubo for Demonic Toby Harper
Toby isn't all light and happiness. He has a darkness dwelling within him, using him as a vessel until the time is right. This demon must keep Toby alive at all costs in order to release itself when the time comes. It isn't in the show often, making sporadic appearances when Toby's life is in mortal danger.
You may get one episode, then no more for another 16 episodes, then possibly no more until the next season. Later down the line, he may be released and then get a much bigger role. I can't say yet whether he will or not. That's all down to the VA and how they portray it. There are currently three routes planned out for this evil presence.
Gender/Age - Male, 30+
Voice - Must sound like an evil demonic presence. Dark, low, evil, demanding and forceful. Please don't forget, he is only present when he needs to save Toby's life. He must not sound like Toby at all.
There are no examples of this voice, but normal speaking voices can't be accepted for this role.
Pay is £20 per episode this character has lines in. It isn't a flat rate for all the episodes they are in.

Context
Line 1 - Toby is in mid battle with Tobias, as Raven tries to save Toby's fiancé who Tobias has stabbed. The demon has overtaken Toby as it knows that Toby is no match for Tobias alone, and Tobias would easily kill Toby.
Line 2 - The other prisoners are trying to cause serious harm to Toby and the demon has released itself. It is willing to kill in order to protect its vessel.
Line 3 - After the events of line 2, the other prisoners have vowed to get revenge on Toby and kill him. A huge fight has broken out, with Toby laying dead on the floor. The demon is making a final attempt at keeping him alive and seriously wants all those within the prison to perish as revenge. He is going to kill quite a few characters here. Build the evilness up as it goes along.

(Evil, demanding) I'm released when the time is right. I need not be in control all the time. This is why my powers are stronger than yours. Enough of the games. Let us end this once and for all.
(Dark and Evil) An example must be made and you are the choice. Let no other perform harm upon my vessel, lest they die. That time is nigh. (Forceful, Demanding) IT'S TIME TO DIE.
(Dark, angered, evil voice) I warned you. I warned you all. This vessel must not be harmed. NOW YOU MUST PAY FOR NOT HEEDING MY WARNINGS. You caused damage to this vessel and now you shall pay the price. Let this prison crumble to the ground and all those within its walls perish alongside it.
Line 1 - Needs more forceful and demanding tones, not a normal speaking tone. He is very evil and most times, not all, when he speaks, death and destruction may soon follow. He only comes out when the vessels life is in danger and his voice needs to portray this.
Line 2 - Such as with 'It's time to die' in take 1. This was forceful, but before all that it was normal speaking tone again. The demon would not be there to hold a conversation, it would be there to end those trying to take the vessels life.
Line 3 - In both takes, you have some of the tones needed there, but then dropped it back to normal conversation. You are about to collapse the whole prison, creating pure destruction and a lot of death. It never sounded like that here.
I can see the voice being able to be used with some voice manipulation on the audio engineers side though. Especially take 2, which reminded me of the Lords Prayer app that some ghosthunters use on YouTube, that recites it forwards and backwards in a really creepy voice. It's just the tones we would need to work on here. To make him sound evil and forceful and demanding, not as though he is in general conversation with these people.
As with the audition for Toby, I appreciate the constructive feedback! I would be happy to roll another take on these following direction if you would like!
Resubmissions are always welcome if feedback is listened to. Many are cast in the show today based on them doing this.
