Hiraeth
Ben for Alexander "Briar" Graves [MC]
Briar is the lead role in Hiraeth.
A semi-anxious, cautious guy who tries his best to do the right thing, even when he’s not sure what that is. He overthinks a lot and tends to worry about messing up, but deep down, he’s genuinely kind and just wants to make others feel safe. Despite his nerves, he always tries being a warmth to others.
Tone: Gentle and soft-spoken, but with an underlying strain,
Emotion range: Able to shift between hesitant, hopeful, and determined.
Delivery: Natural and slightly breathy at times, especially when he’s anxious or thinking out loud.
Pitch: Mid to slightly higher male range.
Pacing: Often slow and cautious when speaking, but can pick up pace when emotional or panicked.
Key moments: When Briar gets brave or emotional, his voice should crack slightly.
"Sometimes, I wonder if I’ll ever get back… if I’ll ever wake up. But… even if I can’t, I hope the people I meet here know I meant well… that I tried to help them, too."
