The Purgatorians Urgent Recasting Call 2
Jamison 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 - Great voice. Didn't sound like an average human talking. It was low, guttural and demonic sounding. My only advice is make it more forceful and demanding. He doesn't appear for everyday conversation. He only appears to save the vessel when his life is in danger. Most times the demon appears, death and destruction is soon to follow.
Line 2 - This sounded far too calm I'm afraid. The demon should always ooze danger. The audience should fear what may happen, or if killing some bad guys be excited for it. This tone does not reflect that. It needs to be pure evil all the time. Forceful and demanding. It will make you hear it, it will make most characters cower in fear, except one who finds it rather 'cool'.
Line 3 - The vessel has died, and this is the demons final attempt to save it before the 'door to the soul' shuts, leaving it dead forever. Pure destruction will happen here, and a lot of death, as a story arc comes to an end. Too calm with this one I'm afraid. This one needs to be the ultimate evil.
With the voice, the audio engineer could manipulate it to give it a more demonic tone, but the deliveries were a little too calm here for a pure, evil, demonic entity
Thank you so much for the feedback! Would you like me to re record with the notes?
Hello, I just realized I didn’t reply directly to your comment. I really appreciate the feedback. If you’d like, I can re-record those lines with the directions you gave me, and see if it fits your vision more. Just let me know! Look forward to working with you.
Sorry for the huge delay. I have been extremely busy, the work is never ending. If you still can, then by all means do so. I always welcome resubmissions. With the call at an end though, I don't know if it will still allow you to.
No worries! I understand that life gets in the way. Apologies for my late response, my father had surgery so I’ve been helping them out in my free time. I’d be happy to see what I can put together for you. I can send it to you directly too if you’d wish.
