Untitled Detective Game
Valerie Scythe for Female Voice Actor - Titiana the Barmaid
Manning the bar, the Innkeeper is one of the most important NPCs in the game. She’s friendly and bubbly and initially the most welcoming to Odo (especially if he shows her some money) but can become mocking or mean if she takes you for a trouble maker. She's the only native of the island that I'm casting here and her accent will likely define any other locals I cast in the future. I am leaning away from a strong English accent for her too.
The Barmaid's family have been a staple in the town for generations and she is known and loved by many. She will know a lot of gossip in the town and it would do Odo, the player, good to keep her as a friend. She can be impressed with acts of bravery and harmless pranking.
This NPC will have several lines about selling, buying, conspiracies and tales about the island and its inhabitants. Titiana is a big, strong lady both mentally and physically and I want that to come across in her voice and mannerisms. I am looking for gruff and tough, and not sultry or sweet, though I am looking for voice actors who may be able to perform this too, should Odo win her over in some way (as odd as that would be...) Voice actors should be able to be blunt, matter of fact and growl or bark orders. A range of emotions is, of course, appreciated, but I am only in the early stages of my plan for what she will go through at the moment.

*Sighs* "Look, Odo... I... I really can't put you up for another night if you don't buy something... I've gotta live too, y'know?"
"You're not the first person... we have loads of... visitors." "It's alright, you can have a room, just don't break no rules."
"Come on, you brute. Grab a stool and tell me where you're from, then."
