Carla Jae [CJ]
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Cari Scholtens

Voice Description
Her voice is imagined as medium-low in tone with a subtle roughness, and bass to it. A voice that demands your attention and is not easily spoken over. She speaks mostly as if she were uninterested in the conversation she's been caught in, like taking part is a chore unless it involves her little sister, Nina, When conversing with Nina, she seems fully enticed by the conversation and carries a softer tone.

Character Description
Carla Jae or 'CJ' is a woman in her mid twenties working for a government funded security detail. As a child, she was orphaned to never know what companionship or to have a family was like as she roamed the streets of Isha. This was until she was adopted in her preteen years. Due to an unfortunate chain of events, Carla Jae and her newborn baby sister are currently the only surviving members of the family. While technically sisters, Carla Jae was thrust into caring for Nina as if she were her mother. Even after years of being her caretaker, Carla Jae does not assume the role of Nina's mother and has made it clear that the two are merely sisters. The world of "Evermore" is morally corrupt and is being torn apart by an ensuing war. Malignant, artificially enhanced humans, are being produced as weapons of war and as deterrents for rebellious uprisings. Carla Jae is one such Malignant, with her body constantly riding on highs and experiencing crippling withdrawals. Her mind slowly warping into a mindless killing machine while trying to retain her one truth: She lives to protect Nina and the hope she carries with her. Carla Jae is a character who is going to be hitting a wide range of emotions and the person who voices her needs to be able to emote that in both, dramatic and subtle manners. She is a person that doesn't care to converse, as such she doesn't have a lot of experience with people outside of her sister. 

  • Carla Jae is much more open with her sister and loves her dearly. Because of this, she'd be hesitant to deny/refuse her sister something. Throughout the line, it should sound as if you're searching for the right words to say as you carry on. Carla Jae absolutely wants to deny this unknown request of Nina's but in the nicest way possible. Which isn't Carla Jae's strong suit as she tends to be more sharp tongued and blunt.
    [Sounds exhausted then slowly builds to a more emotional, almost pleading tone.]
    "Nina, please...I do not have the energy for this. We've discussed this already, I'm not...you're not becoming THIS. Okay? I don't want this for you. You're my sweet baby sister with the big, bright smile and I can't...I won't lose that. I don't belong on a pedestal as a person, a malignant, and especially not as your big sister.  Keep that reserved for someone else..."

  • Throughout the line, it should sound like she's fighting the urge to yell. As if she's muffling her own emotions.
    [An annoyed tone on the verge of yelling.]
    "M.L.K. was just a man that preached pacifism while inciting violence. A shit example for the delusional image you carry of the Runaways. Way I see it...if they stand in the way of your desires, fuck 'em. You could give everything of yourself or take everything you can get your hands on and this world would still tell you to screw off."

  • *Need efforts. Sounds that you would make when exerting force like when throwing or taking a punch. Try different intensities and finish up with a frustrated, sorrowful cry/crying. Does not have to be in one take.

    Sounds good! Really enjoyed your take here. If I were to critique anything, in the first line, remember that you're speaking to your baby sister. This is most likely an issue with how I described the line as I'm hearing a lot of people do this. In the line, it sounds like you're yelling at Nina, which is fine at the beginning if you ease it out. CJ is exhausted, so she might come off as annoyed at first but quickly realize who she's speaking to and soften her tone so she doesn't scare her sister. That or soften the tone entirely during that line. You could treat it as if she doesn't have the energy to get all up in arms on the issue they're discussing, maybe go so far as to sound as if CJ is nodding off at the end of the line. The other lines were great in delivery and pacing, though. Great job!
