The Rookie: A Halo Fan Film
Valkie for Covenant Prophet/Prophetess of Neglect (Male/Female)
COVENANT PROPHET/PROPHETESS OF NEGLECT [Male or Female]:
Official Depiction Overview [How he/she is presented in the canonical work]:
Throughout Halo the Covenant have been led by Heirarchs of the San'Shyuum species, referred to as Prophets. Three of which led the Covenant until its collapse in Halo 3. However, prior to and since then, members of the prophet leadership have had roles beyond what we see in the games.
Our Depiction Overview [How he/she will be presented in our film]:
The Prophet/Prophetess of Neglect will be one created for the purpose of the film, though the reason is to connect the film to more points in the timeline. One of these events is called Operation: Kinetic Storm, it is mentioned only once in Halo and that mention occurs in the Halo 5 limited-edition dossiers in a list of previous missions Buck undertook. Due to it being nestled in between the other Alpha-Nine missions it makes sense this one would involve the whole squad too, which would include the Rookie. The operation involved strike and reconnaissance missions in the disputed space regions, and likely against an unidentified target, this prophet will be that target.
How He/She Sounds
I will be looking for more of a wise elder voice for this character, but I am completely open to anyone trying out this role. I am especially keen on it possibly being a female role, since Prophetess' are not explored very much in the story.
As potential inspiration I've included two links to videos that showcase the voices of two primary Prophets appearing in the games, though again I'm happy for you to create your own interpretation.

You are all of you vermin, cowering in the dirt, thinking what I wonder, that you might escape the coming fire?
If you who listen this day believe my sermon is for you, you would be mistaken. My teachings are for those misguided creatures of Earth who lack the foresight to walk the path.
The Covenant is in ruin, and the divine beyond is that much further from our reach. It is time for us to tread a new path, one I have foreseen for some time.
Thanks again for the audition! Great to hear more different voices for Neglect!
For this character I may be looking for a voice with more of an age/wisdom sound to it, you've done well to capture it but I do feel its not quite fully there.
That being said, perhaps with some editing or effects it could be improved, though as it is I'm unfortunately going to dismiss this one.
I'll keep this one in mind again though, if I become set on Neglect being female (which I think I might for narrative purposes), then things may change and I will for sure give this another once over!
Really appreciate you taking the time though to do so many auditions!
Sounds good! The name made me think the role would be more haughty than wise. I can definitely give it another go!
Haughty is honestly another great descriptor, and honestly in that way you did also do a great job! I've been looking back through and I feel I might put this one into the shortlist to consider it again!
