The Rookie: A Halo Fan Film
Daurgon for CPL Taylor "Dutch" Miles [Voice Impression: Adam Baldwin] (Male)
Note: For this character and anyone else with this note included, there may be only a very small role involved. These roles will have lines from the books, which are never voiced, because of this it would also then be ideal that the same voice actors replace the characters lines from in-game as well, so that within the film the audience can make the connection between the two. If voice actors can be successfully obtained for these characters I will be able to consider expanding the line selection from the book to encompass more of that story.
CORPORAL DUTCH [Voice Impression: Adam Baldwin]:
Official Depiction Overview [How he is presented in the canonical work]:
Dutch is the rough, gruff, heavy weapons specialist. He begins his debut mission with a squad of marines and an all-terrain 4x4 strapped with a turret, blasting his way through droves of vehicular enemies. That should be all you need to know. But I suppose the guy also has a big heart; he's very religious, named his Spartan Laser "Vera", and acts more often like a gentle giant taking care of his squad mates.
Our Depiction Overview [How he will be presented in our film]:
Many of the lines featured in the film will be borrowed from the game in order to refresh the audience on the events that took place. However, Dutch will also play a decent role in one of the later segments, since he's involved in a later mission involving rebel insurgents. In that section of the story he busts down a door in true Dutch fashion.
How He Sounds
His voice as it's depicted in the official media can be heard in its entirety in this video;

Dutch seems to have an average American accent, with a mild hint of southern, he has a deeper register and a rougher sound.
Ultimately though, I'm open to hear different interpretations of his character as well as attempts at matching his voice.
I look forward to hearing your auditions!!

Relax Rookie he don't mean nothing... 'sides, now's one of those times, pays to be the strong silent type.

Theres a couple little hiccups in this one (sounds like you’re a little peckish and perhaps so is your cat? Or at least I think that was a cat). But joking aside, and looking past all that, you’ve brought the right kind of gravelly voice to this one well, and to be honest I think the different accent works quite well for Dutch, well, especially since his name is Dutch. It’s not a perfect match but you’ve done very well on this! I’ll wait to hear from other VAs but I’ll be considering you for this role for sure. Thanks for auditioning!
I’m going to shortlist this one to remind me, but I’ve added Bucket labels now to help keep things organised, for this one I’ll categorise it as a maybe!
Oh, that sound wasn't supposed to be in there sorry about that. Well i am native german speaker so that's the accent you hear in my Auditions. Thanks again for considering me and i am looking forward to what's to come.
Haha that's all good, I thought it was funny hearing the cat in there lol
and I do appreciate hearing different accents, my grandparents on one side are German so its cool to be able to include a connection somewhere in this.
