The Host of the killing game. An androgynous person in their late thirties or early fourties, with a Brooklyn-area accent that might occasionally slip through, or be consistent throughout, actor's choice.

The Host should intentionally try to come off as cold and uncaring, or even disinterested, like a cat pretending it doesn't care about the people around it. When like this, the host talks clearly and with little emotion, try to sound formal and professional, though you can decide if you'd rather go full-out formal or just enough to get the time across (once again, your choice.)

When caught off-guard, the Brooklyn accent should be about clearer, and all sense of formality should be lost. Speak like an adult concerned about the actions a child is taking, like you see a toddler with a breakable mug you love in its hands.

Other things you can do with the voice (this is where I encourage any creativity in your audition,) is how tired or fed-up The Host might sound, you can decide if they're eager for a situation or if they're dreading/regretting having to carry out a situation, or even if The Host obfuscates a word or two by speaking them quieter, as to trick the participants of the Killing Game, or every word is said clearly so there are no miscommunications. This killing game is *very* important to The Host, and it *must* go well, or else.
