NEEDED: Voices for Audio Drama
don_quixote for Victor Castillo
This project aims to make an audio drama out of a fanfic I've written in which characters from Thomas the Tank Engine are humanized (bear with me here). Victor is based on the Cuban engine from the show; chief engineer of the Sodor Steamworks, fatherly, usually in good spirits, but he can be stern when necessary. I'm looking for a deeper, mature sounding voice for this role, someone who can successfully pull off a Cuban accent and is comfortable saying and pronouncing the occasional Spanish properly. If necessary check on David Bedella's rendition of the engine character in the recent Thomas episodes to get an idea of what I'm looking for.
"I love her...and so I should've had better self control. Sir Topham Hatt had every right to send me away. There was no future. There is nothing I could offer her that would be comparable to the life she's known."
"You're right, Miss Hatt, I do fix engines…but it's not that simple. Sometime when I'm not busy I'd love to explain everything that we do. Your father knows the ins and outs of engine repair and maintenence better than any Controller I've ever met. I would think it essential knowledge for someone who plans to take over in his stead."
"You are being educated now! If you would pay attention half as much as you complain, you might learn something! ¡Ay, no puedo creer esto!"
Absolutely LOVE your sound of voice. I was wondering if I might ask you to read the last line again with a slightly different approach? I didn't provide much context for this line so I thought I'd go ahead and do so now; Victor is absolutely at the end of his rope, has had a very difficult day and is dealing with a very difficult person. This line should be almost yelled, like he's been holding in his anger all day and now is tipping over the edge. I just want to see how you'd approach that kind of anger, if you don't mind! Appreciate it so much, lemme know if you have any questions :)
Sure thing and thank you for your feedback. I'll be sure to update the audition line as soon as possible.
This is such a great audition. Bring Cuban, this is the only audition that I can nod my head to and say, "Yea, this sounds just about right!" An your Spanish is superb. Que tengas mucha suerte, amigo! Ojala vamos a trabajar juntos en el futuro! :)
