The Crying Child Series
GranSeiyuu for Brian Thomas (Hoodie)
Brian Thomas (Hoodie)
Voice Type:
Young adult male (late teens–mid 20s), medium to low range
Accent:
Neutral (natural, grounded delivery—no strong accent needed)
Character Overview:
Brian is the quiet anchor of the group—the one who thinks before acting and speaks only when necessary. He isn’t loud, flashy, or attention-seeking. Instead, he observes, processes, and steps in when things start going too far.
He often plays the role of the voice of reason, especially around more unstable personalities like Tim. Brian isn’t emotionless—he just keeps it tightly controlled. When he does show emotion, it carries weight.
He’s protective, level-headed, and morally grounded… but not naïve. He understands how dangerous their world is, and he’s willing to make hard calls when needed.
Personality:
- Calm, reserved, and observant
- Speaks only when necessary
- Morally grounded—questions excessive violence
- Protective of others, especially teammates
- Subtle leadership presence without trying to lead
Performance Direction:
- Keep delivery low-key and natural—never overacted
- He should sound like he’s always thinking
- Emotion is subtle and controlled, not expressive
- Avoid dramatic spikes—his intensity comes from restraint
- When he gives an order or speaks firmly, it should feel quietly authoritative, not loud
Voice Notes:
- Slightly slower pacing, thoughtful delivery
- Minimal filler—he chooses his words carefully
- Calm tone, even in tense situations
- Rare emotional cracks should feel genuine and impactful
- male young adult
(Concerned / grounded) “Tim… don’t you think you’re going a little too far?”
Quiet Authority (his strongest moment type) “I said go now, Garry.”
Subtle Observation (low-key but important presence) “…Looks like we have another problem.”
Hey, I really liked your take on Hoodie—it feels like a really natural fit for you. The calm, controlled delivery works really well and matches the character perfectly.
If I had a couple small notes, I think you could add just a slight edge underneath in certain moments. Right now it’s very calm and steady, which is great, but giving a few lines a bit more weight or intention could make it feel even more impactful.
Not louder or more intense, just a bit more deliberate on key words so it feels like there’s something underneath the surface.
But yeah overall really strong take 👍
Thank you if you want I’d be happy to record another take with the adjustments you’d like
