Jun 15, 2026 GravelGuy auditioning for Second-Blade Roland in The Underground - Episode 1: Golden Masks

Septragramma/7CS Jun 15

Thank you so much for your submission! You absolutely nailed the "grounded" feel to the voice, the steady tempo and honestly the voice being way more on the lower side of pitch also adds to it! For the second line, I was hoping to hear a little more agitation in the voice, though the overall tempo, as per description should definitely work, if that makes sense? Imagine you're in a high-stakes combat situation, man against man, belief vs. belief. I feel like a little more emotion there, despite the general calm demeanour would fit right in. If you could perhaps do a re-take of that second line with that in mind, that would be greatly appreciated!

Second-Blade Roland

Unpaid

Role went to: GravelGuy

*note: placeholder image by @ej_761

Voice Direction:

Age and Gender: ~early 30s, male adult voice, low to mid, sharp but a bit more slow
Description: Roland's voice has a limited range between low and mid. His voice should sound a bit more grounded, less driven. Not "wise" but still like someone who considers his own words. Even when agitated, the tempo of his speech should remain steady, if in doubt, rather a little too slow than too fast.

Psychological Profile for VA:

When acting as Roland, you dive into the mind of a proud, conservative veteran fighter who wishes for the way of combat his country brought forth in the old days, to be preserved. Combat and all traditions surrounding it are sacred to you and trying to teach its ways is second nature to you. Your role as the Second-Blade of the Grandbaron of House Faust, is a honour so great to you, that you would lack the words to describe it, if you were asked. Where the First-Blade acts before considering, you do the exact opposite. While tolerating his impatience as his mentor, you believe it to be a flaw that eventually has to dissolve through a deeper understanding. Like many who serve House Faust, you still cannot shake off the feeling of superiority towards many foreigners or those who do not follow Cribean traditions, yet you try not to let it blind your judgement as much. For many among the House, your more calm and considered demeanour is just as inspiring as the relentless drive of the First-Blade.

Voice description:

male adult

The sides they read from:

(condescending but attentive): "And where do you hail from then, foreigner? You haven't the look of a Tatarii sandrat."
(while clashing with a soldier of an opposing noble House, agitated): "Why is it that your House rejects honour so fiercely and turns its back to tradition whenever it benefits from it?"
