Sound From the Sky
Swan for Heidi (lead)(27yrs old)
Core of Heidi's voice
- Soft-spoken + airy/light tone, never loud or forceful.
- slightly slower speaking, as if she’s carefully thinking while speaking
- Oblivious / clueless about the room, she delivers dry humor, dark jokes, or blunt observations with complete sincerity, without realizing how they land on others. This creates the comedy through contrast, not through trying to be funny or mean.
- Not "annoying" or aggressively sarcastic: Deliver even the blunt/snarky lines with genuine, oblivious sincerity — never sarcastic or energetic
-------------------
Best Example:
Frieren (eng dub) - Frieren Beyond Journey's End: Soft, airy, calm, emotionally flat, says incredibly clueless or deadpan things with zero awareness of social impact. Gentle, breathy, low-energy, almost serene/daydreamy even when joking.
Tip:
Aim for a soft, airy, gentle delivery like Frieren (English dub — Mallorie Rodak). Keep the voice light and a bit breathy, with very minimal emotional inflection. The comedy comes from saying dry, snarky, or overly blunt lines in the most sincere, oblivious, almost daydreamy way, as if you genuinely don't realize how they sound to others. Not aggressively deadpan or sarcastic, but calmly clueless."
-------------------
While she has Frieren’s airy detachment, Heidi is a high-ranking Captain. She should sound efficient and intelligent, just socially 'lagging.' She is blunt, not because she's mean, but because she values facts over social comfort."

“I apologize again for the delay. It takes longer than we’d like to complete mission briefings and secure supplies for such a journey. We’d prefer to depart at a moment’s notice, but that’s rarely possible.”
“Thank you for understanding sir. Only a few of us are dining on caviar, the rest are working until our shift is up.”
“**Sigh**, Your opinion has been noted sir. Next time, we’ll make sure we arrive Sunday. If you want, you can wait while everyone else board, and we’ll come back Sunday. Perhaps even add a cherry on top of your Sunday when we arrive.”
