World of Craziness
Holly Lindin for Alex McKessie
Alex McKessie is Darwin’s brilliant but socially awkward little sister, a scientific influencer who spends more time tinkering in her lab than hanging with people. Equal parts robotics mastermind and mad scientist, Alex is just as unhinged as her brother—if not more—especially when her inventions inevitably go haywire.

[Revving up her newest invention] At last… the calculations are perfect, the power stable, the world at my fingertips! Heh…heh-heh… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! …Now, FIRE!
[Presenting her experiment] Ok, class. Prepare to be ASTOUNDED! Made directly from my lab, I present (pulls sheet off cage) … Oh... It got out... Welp! (Claps hands, cheerfully nervous) You MIIIGHT wanna cover your orifices—y’know, eyes, ears, mouths—PRONTO!
[On the phone with a friend, fighting for her life against her own experiment] Oh—ack!—hello? Oh hiii!...Hang out? Oh, I’d love to, really, but I’m just a TEENSY bit—grrhh!—tied up at the moment! Ya know, just taking care of one of my experiments—back, BACK!—(awkward laugh) call ya back!
Hi Holly! Thanks so much for auditioning — that was such a fun one to listen to.
You brought a great range of emotion and energy across all the lines, and your voice fit the character really nicely. Whether intentional or not, we could hear a bit of "Velma" in the delivery. It’s always great to hear when someone plays into the inspirations we list while still making the role their own.
The only things we can think of are drawing out the laugh a little more. Overall, a strong, engaging read — really nice work!
