Alien: Protocol 7
Sem50 for Hostile Survivor 1
A frightened, volatile survivor who has been trapped on Sevastopol Station long enough to lose trust in everyone. Their hostility comes from panic, exhaustion, and the constant threat of death. This character is not evil, only desperate. Needs a grounded, natural performance with believable fear and intensity. You might need to project a little for two of the lines, since this character is on the other side of a hangar bay, they spot the Ripley sisters and warn them to stay back.
For audition: AABBCC format. Perform the line in two distinct ways.
Clean and realistic. Any accent acceptable. Open to any race and all genders.
This role has 5 lines in total.

Stay back! I’m warning you!
Guys! Over here! Someone’s here!
What the hell is wrong with this thing? Work, damn you!
Hi Sem, thank you for the submission. I’m happy to offer feedback.
First of all, your voice has real potential. There’s a natural strain and grain to your tone that suits certain archetypes extremely well.
To increase the impact of your AA and BB lines, focus less on “performing fear” and more on speaking to someone. Fear doesn’t always manifest as a shaky voice; in a situation like this, the character is cornered in a hostile environment. Their reactions can be erratic, defensive, or impulsive. Sometimes even aggressive as a form of self-preservation.
Try to imagine:
Who you’re talking to
What you want from them
Why the words need to be said right now
If I could send a voice note, I would demonstrate, but the core principle is this: What am I trying to achieve with these words? Threaten? Warn? Stall for time? Beg? Escape?
Noted. Thanks for the pointers
