Murder Drones: Overture Audiobook
MJ Schulstad || FreakTopiaVA for Serial Designation V
An impulsive and sadistic Disassembly Drone who takes too much joy in her job. Beneath it all, she has a soft spot for N and looks out for him.
Major character.
V is intense, impulsive, sassy, and prone to maniacal fits of laughter. Nola Klop brought all of these things to her character in the show, and her performance is a solid frame of reference.
CONTEXT:
- Line 1: V has just killed a few workers, leaving her covered in oil. She shook herself dry, and J is grumbling about not getting stains on her uniform. Ever the gadfly, V is poking fun at her for being so concerned with the dress code.
- Line 2: V's just noticed Uzi is escaping the factory and is elated by the prospect of chasing her down and tearing her apart. She's reporting this to J, secretly hoping that she's given the order to chase.
- Line 3: V and N are at an impasse. Uzi has just demonstrated a formidable power called the Solver Code, making her a high-priority target for the company. V wants to kill her as soon as possible, but N, having grown fond of Uzi, is preventing her from following through. After a tense standoff, V knocks N aside and is sternly telling him to stay out of the way.

(teasing) What's wrong, J? Afraid of getting your uniform dirty?
(excited) Yo! We've got a worker out here, and I'm eager to practice some balloon shapes on her!
(stern) Don't get in my way, N. This is for your own good!
You kind of nailed the voice there, but I think I hear an accent.
Yeah... sometimes my Aussie accent slips through. I still am working on my American accent
Don't be discouraged. The accent can always be worked on with practice, and you're not the only one auditioning with an accent. One of the submissions for Uzi has a Polish accent, but that doesn't take away from their strong performance or how close it sounds to the show. The same goes for you! In fact, your Australian accent presents an opportunity. If I get around to the point of Shift where Tessa debuts (she is alive here), you should consider auditioning for her role!
I greatly concur 👍 The tone of voice for the impression was perfect. I personally don't mind the accent, but I get where you're coming from.
