Wicked Father - Audio Story
Shawnshawndadon for Voice Actor - Mateo
Mateo Castro is 22 years old. He still lives with his happily married parents so he doesn't have to worry about room and board while he's in college. Mateo is the only child of a father with two faces: the violent, controlling Bronco and the gentle, community-loved Dante. Because he grew up with both sides mixed together, Mateo has learned to excuse danger, rationalize aggression, and reinterpret red flags as “normal.”
He has the same blind spot with Emilio. Even when Emilio’s behavior becomes threatening, Mateo explains it away as stress, trauma, or misunderstandings. He desperately wants to believe everyone he loves is still good including the brother figure who could hurt him, and the father who already has.
Voice notes: Warm, emotional, introspective. Mid-range. A young man who sounds like he carries more weight than he should at his age.

"Emilio’s like a brother to me. I don’t care what anybody says, he wouldn’t hurt me."
"My dad might get upset, but he'd never hurt anybody."
"You wanna talk about responsibility? How about the nights you sneak out thinking none of us notice? Mom buys it because she loves you. I don’t. I’ve been listening to that door click since I was a kid."
