Murder Drones: Overture Audiobook
Coffee Cheikh for Serial Designation X
A brutish Disassembly Drone in L's squad. He's always the largest one in the room, accompanied by his pet Cabra, a mechanical canine named Zon. X doesn't speak often, but when he does, people listen. He may seem like a typical brute, but he's very perceptive and well-spoken. He embodies the boots-on-the-ground grunt.
His voice is deep, guttural, and has a faint growly texture. It isn't a simpleton kind of voice. It's deceptively articulated. Think Legate Lanius from New Vegas.
CONTEXT:
- Line 1: X and his team just got one of the prisoners to spill the whereabouts of his colony in exchange for him and his wife being allowed to leave. An argument broke out between them, and the wife ran out, with the husband taking off after her. X finally makes a comment about it, noting that things got more emotionally heavy than he expected.
- Line 2: X declines to help F and Zon in hunting down the prisoners they let go (they never said they'd be spared). L asks if he's going to sit it out, to which X answers in the affirmative and explains his reasoning. F and Zon don't need his help, and his pet could always use the exercise.
- Line 3: X has been asked to interrogate one of the prisoners. While L is the good cop, X is the imposing bad cop. He says little, but his size and what few words he does speak communicate that the consequences for not answering will be severe.

(dryly) That got heavier than I thought it would.
(dismissive) They've got it handled. After everything those two have endured, they won't get far. Besides, Zon needs the exercise.
(threatening) Speak truthfully. I'll know if you're lying, and lies insult us both.
I encouraged you to audition regardless of your doubts because it's natural to feel uneasy when you try something new. You auditioning shows your investment in this project, enough that you want to be part of it, and that's definitely admirable! Don't be hard on yourself.
To address the audition itself, it's interesting how many people who've seen X and listened to his theme song, imagine him with Russian imagery. Your reading of Line C had a good sound of force. Like X is grilling this person. Although a Russian accent wasn't in my head, given the way it was executed here, I could feasibly hear it for him. ^^
Whether you pursue voice acting professionally or as a hobby, don't be discouraged. Continue applying for roles! Never forget that every voice actor started in your shoes.
Thank you ! You're right, I love this project so much, I really hope it can develop into something bigger haha.And thanks for the encouragements ! I'll try my best haha, taking drama classes for a few years really made me fond of voice acting !! ^^
