Soundwave is one of Megatron's most reliable troops, and he has positioned himself comfortably and irreplaceably in the Decepticon upper command structure. Though "only" Communications Officer, Soundwave stands at Megatron's side as a confidant, comparable in rank to Starscream and Shockwave, but unlike the former, entirely loyal to his leader. Though stoic and possessed of little outward personality (as evidenced by his monotone computer-style speech), Soundwave is not without drives: he has worked hard to get where he is, and he guards his place in the Decepticon hierarchy fiercely. On top of hearing all in his role as Communications Officer and Decepticon spy-master, he is actually capable of "reading minds" by scanning and decoding the electrical impulses that carry "thoughts" in both organics and Cybertronians, and he will not hesitate to use what he learns as blackmail to keep himself high in Megatron's esteem. As such, Soundwave is not popular among the rank-and-file Decepticons, who see him as a two-faced snake and wouldn't mind abandoning him on the battlefield—if they thought Megatron would let them get away with it.

For this role, you will need to refer to Isaac C. Singleton Jr.'s performance in the War for Cybertron games or Frank Welker's portrayal through different Transformers media (particularly G1). It may be wise to look into tutorials and videos Audacity to work on vocoding the voice to sound like he does in most media, while maintaining a monotonous undertone.

ALSO: Please be aware that this audition line is the only audio log for Soundwave. Whomever I choose will be notified if I want a "callback," or consider the role as complete.
