⚠️ Content Warning

This character intentionally portrays violent and stalking behavior as part of his narrative role. Auditioners should be comfortable performing disturbing, adult themes. These behaviors are not endorsed by the story — they reflect the character’s intentionally unsettling design.

Role: Occasional Antagonist Age: 24 Tone: Childlike, eerie, obsessive, unpredictable

Character Overview:   Johnny Mac is twenty‑four but behaves like a toddler — emotionally arrested, impulsive, and disturbingly childlike. 

He speaks in a baby‑like cadence and uses infantile mannerisms to disarm, confuse, and manipulate the people around him. 

Beneath the sing‑song sweetness lies something far darker.

In the story’s context, 

Johnny is murderous and cannibalistic, with obsessive, stalker‑like behavior directed toward his siblings.

He’s creepy, possessive, and unnervingly single‑minded about keeping the people he loves close — whether they want him there or not. 

His innocence is a mask; his fixation is the truth.

Johnny is a character who weaponizes vulnerability, slipping between quiet-clingy baby talk and sudden, chilling adult clarity. That contrast is what makes him so unsettling.

Voice Notes:

• Mid‑20s male voice, however intentionally childlike 

• sing‑song baby mumble mixed with sudden, cold adult clarity 

• Able to switch between cooing,  low mumble baby talk and low, menacing lines — Johnny is more actions over words. 1-2 liners.

• Strong control of vocal tone and timing to sell the unsettling contrast
