Library of Ruina: The Fandub (Round 6 - Urban Nightmare)
Mirai for Valerie
Valerie is a Sweeper, a group of metal humanoids that swarm the Backstreets during nighttime to clean up anyone staying out too late. By the time of Library of Ruina, Sweepers are being regularly attacked by various forces around the City, leading a large pack of them to enter the Library in the hopes to reclaim their lost territory. This ends with all of them getting booked. The Sweepers, despite their monstrous appearance, actually communicate with each other in their own language and are surprisingly polite and dignified. As it's questionable if the Sweepers even adhere to the concept of gender, any gender is allowed for these characters despite the gender-indicative names.
For this role, I'm looking for a medium-high voice able to stay polite and even a bit familial. You may use a filter for your audition if you choose, but it's not required. Unlike the Carnival from the last video, I don't think a more monstrous voice would work for the Sweepers - despite their terrifying role in the City and appearances they're very organized and civil, and their voices should reflect that! Their personality differences are minute, but if you're looking for specific direction, Valerie is definitely more on the cautious side than her brethren and is probably more expressive than the other two.

[Upset over the carnage the Sweepers have had to deal with.] "I know... I know that we have fewer and fewer places to properly dine at with our families. But if Mother knows, she will wage an all-out war against the Index. We are not certain enough to risk losing our families to battle."
[Cutting Lyla off.] "I know! I know that those incidents all happened at night! I know that our presence is not as powerful as before! I know that we have lost our dominance over the nighttime of this Nest. Mother should be aware as well. We know that we need more space to use as our den."
[Showing the Library to her allies; also impressed Angela can speak Sweeper.] "Dear neighbors, this is the Library. This is the place the scum of the Backstreets have been rattling on about. She even speaks in our language... This is the first time we are having a real conversation with someone who is not our family."
