[Voice Casting] Zenithman Tachyon: The Adventures of Knightblitz
Josh Kernel for Jonah Warrick / Verdentiil / Male Background Character Voice 6
An elderly, grey haired forensic scientist who eventually becomes a rival vigilante to Knightblitz, using an exosuit with a Robin Hood aesthetic. He shows up early on in the series as the corrupt head of Arlamor Police Department’s forensics division before becoming a vigilante by Episode 23. As the vigilante Verdentiil, Jonah uses self-invented ‘Teleporter Pearls’ that teleport him to wherever they land once thrown for stealth and a pair of pistol-like plasma-based guns that can be combined back-to-back into a sniper rifle-like form for offense.

[As Jonah Warrick] “Who does he think he is, eh? A hero? The Blitz ain’t nothing more than his foes: a freak. A criminal. And criminals require consequence.”
[As Verdentiil] “THEY DESERVED TO DIE! You hear me, Knightblitz?! ERADICATION! Those hundreds of god damn scorching bullet holes those thugs were found with…? Those were courtesy of yours truly, you insufficient bastard!”
To be honest, not the worst take on the provided lines for Jonah Warrick / Verdentiil I’ve heard. It’s especially good on Verdentiil, which has been surprisingly difficult for people to get right. Admittedly, if I had to give some pointers, maybe dial back the aggression in Jonah’s voice as Jonah Warrick, and as Verdentiil, introduce a little bit more bombast: instead of grinding your teeth and holding back so much in the provided audition line, allow yourself to just go gung-ho and shout out what the character is feeling. Also, I will admit, I generally recommend trying to get some varied but simple lines in there to show variety: the lines I chose for Jonah aren’t the best, for showing this particular character's full intended range.
Totally get you. If you'd like, I'd love to send in another submission with the notes you gave me!
Sure. You can absolutely do so.
