Nathen Greer for Earl / The Advisor
Base Description of Earl’s Character
Earl used to be right hand man to the King, he was his imaginary friend after all, but now he’s both the King’s loyal servant and his enemy.
He’s hardly really a person at all anymore, more like a feral creature born from the King’s fear and spite. He is forced to serve the King eternally, even though he actively plays against him.
He is sometimes rather emotionless and immune to the chaotic world of The King in which he hopes to destroy; taking on the representation of an isolating and closed-off coping mechanism toward grief.
VOICING EARL
Playing Earl is like acting two roles at once. He can flip between being funny/charming and being angry/cold in an instant. He hides his inner conflict with a silly, goofy front, but deep down he’s unstable and struggling. His pitch can often jump around a lot and isn’t steady Attributes mainly looked for are;
- Can be raspy
- An ‘ air of whimsy ‘
- Not too deep sounding
- Occasionally dramatic in tone
- Ability to dip into ominous / unsettling tones.
Media examples could be ( not exact just range choices and general consensus. Like a moodboard for voices ) Mystery:DE, Discord:MLP ,The Grinch ; JC Betelgeuse , The Cat ; Coraline, Scar ; Lion King, Barnaby ; BBU This is just to give examples of the different types of voices in this general area; again this doesn't mean the voice has to sound like any of these specifically.

“ Well, Aren’t you an interesting fellow? Don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so grumpy looking. Gets a bit repetitive, don’t you think? “
“ I curiously wonder what sound your bones make when they snap ; would it be hollow like twigs, or thick like firewood? “ [ Morbidly excited or Unsettling ]
“ Truthfully, I don’t see how you could see me as something real. Real things are good things. But it is rather nice of you to think that way. “ ( slightly more stoic / serious line? Can be matter of fact or can be played up as Earl can be sorta dramatic )
