The Rookie: A Halo Fan Film
Elias Ren for LCPL Kojo "Romeo" Agu [Voice Impression: Nolan North] (Male)
Note: For this character and anyone else with this note included, there may be only a very small role involved. These roles will have lines from the books, which are never voiced, because of this it would also then be ideal that the same voice actors replace the characters lines from in-game as well, so that within the film the audience can make the connection between the two. If voice actors can be successfully obtained for these characters I will be able to consider expanding the line selection from the book to encompass more of that story.
LANCE CORPORAL ROMEO [Voice Impression: Nolan North]:
Official Depiction Overview [How he is presented in the canonical work]:
Romeo is the sarcastic smart-mouth of the group, he spends most of his time running his mouth and the rest of being told off. He does experience a rather humbling moment when he's near-fatally wounded later into the story, but all of the lines featuring in my film will be disconnected from that. As such, all you'll need to know is that he thinks he's a comedian, but nobody's laughing.
Our Depiction Overview [How he will be presented in our film]:
Many of the lines featured in the film will be borrowed from the game in order to refresh the audience on the events that took place. However, Romeo will also play a decent role in one of the later segments, since he's involved in a later mission involving rebel insurgents. In that section of the story a few of his lines do retain a little of that witty dry humour he's known for.
How He Sounds
His voice as it's depicted in the official media can be heard in its entirety in this video;

Romeo seems to have an average American accent, with a deeper register, although while his voice is deep the gruffness is not quite there, certainly not as much as Dutch.
Ultimately though, I'm open to hear different interpretations of his character as well as attempts at matching his voice.
I look forward to hearing your auditions!!

What the heck am I supposed to do with this inside a Covenant ship? ... [Romeo thwacks the Rookie with his weapon to wake him up] Wake up buttercup.

What? I didn't know the balcony was shielded! // What? How was I supposed to know the balcony was shielded!
Hey there! Thanks for taking the time to audition again!
Listened to the Gabriel impression and loved that btw
For Romeo, he's more non-chalant and chill, in a way, the delivery you've provided here sounds a little closer to Mickey's, I can still hear a bit of Romeo in this though so I'll give that to you, but I would be keen on hearing a take thats more sarcastic, deep, chilled out kinda vibe, like he's not paid enough to deal with the other guys and doesnt really wanna be here lol.
That being said, I do also appreciate the energy you put into it, it just might not be the best fit for Romeo's personality in this case. Sorry about getting you to do so many retakes, just wanna make sure I give you the best chance cause I think you might be able to get pretty close!
Oh also, I will shortlist this for now, but if you do happen to do a better retake then I'll swap this one out with that submission
ill give it a retry soon, sorry just have other projects im also working on
