Murder Drones: Overture Audiobook
Aubreon Zaxen for Doll
Uzi's cousin who lives in a separate colony but communicates with her via text chatrooms. They knew each other as children through their mothers and have shared a close bond despite the distance between them. Unlike in canon, Doll isn't an antagonist, but a supportive figure in Uzi's life. Although she similarly lost her mother to the Murder Drones, she's been handling it differently than her cousin.
Doll only has one major scene, but it's a fairly lengthy back-and-forth with Uzi. Try to replicate Emma Breezy's performance from the show. While speaking Russian would be great, it's not required. A Russian accent will do just fine!
CONTEXT: All of these lines are done via chatroom text, but they're all voiced.
- Line 1: Doll has been messaged by Uzi, but neither is gaming, so she correctly guesses that her cousin wants to vent. Doll isn't annoyed, but making a plain observation born from years of knowing how Uzi works.
- Line 2: Throughout the conversation, Doll brings up how Uzi has failed to escape so many times that the WDF created a game out of who caught her the most. Uzi jokes that Doll has a self-serving memory, but Doll is quick to clap back with a retort of her own. This is friendly jabbing between them, no malice at all.
- Line 3: Uzi has finally told Doll about her insecurities. She's wondering if she'll ever get outside and fulfill her dreams. Doll is a brutally honest person. If she doesn't like you, she'll tell you. This also means her kind moments are clearly genuine, so she supports Uzi by encouraging her not to give up on that dream. It will happen someday. Of course, Doll is unaware that "someday" is today.

(plainly) What did you do this time? You wanted to chat and we aren't gaming, so you wish to vent.
(snarky) If my memory is self-serving, yours is selectively forgetful.
(supportive) Uzi, I *know* you'll get through those doors. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but there is no doubt in my mind you will get through them.
Hello, there! Thank you for auditioning for Doll, you're the first to do so! Crisis Drone mentioned you and I've seen your work as Doll in their projects. You've got a great handle on Doll's voice and the Russian reading was unexpected but not unwelcome! I actually have a friend who is from Russia and could translate without needing Google translate. For this, however, I understand and the fact you can read and pronounce Russian is a very high mark! Doll is a fairly stoic character, so your soft delivery fits her. But you add little alterations to your tone that sound caring in Line C, and dry snarky is quite natural for Doll in Line B. You did a splendid job, and I'm glad to see you audition! ^^
Tysm!
