Cast offsite — this one got away.
voice type: medium-high, incredibly soft and fragile-sounding, like every time he speaks his voice might break. Voice actors are welcome to experiment with a slightly androgynous voice for him. He's often lost in his own world, muttering to himself while shuffling his cards. He is incredibly reserved and his voice should reflect his melancholic shyness. He often speaks quite slowly and hesitatingly, like he's not used to speaking. Despite this, he has outbursts of desperation and panic, as well as moments of silent and tense anger.
This role requires yelling and crying.
Most of Sammy's lines are very short sentences. Here are a selection of them. You're welcome to record all of them if you want, but please pick at least 3 and do 2-3 takes of each.
[muttering to self] Queen of hearts.. queen of hearts..
It's midnight, Merry Christmas.. I forgot to get you something.
It's not a game. It's my life.
Empty.. something is missing…
Something new to hold…? [pause/sigh] It's so soft… The cards aren't soft like this.
Why does she have to be here? I don't want her here..
[muttering, slowly waking up] Three of a kind…
