Thanks a lot for your submission! I find your vocal performance for Lady Felicitas absolutely stunning from start to finish! The grandeur and bit of exaggerated and dragged out pronunciation is exactly what I envisioned and the more quiet, faster and hush second line fits just perfectly! Furthermore, I really enjoyed the little extra emphasis of line two in the second take

Voice Direction:

  • Age and Gender: ~late 30s, female adult voice, low to mid

  • Description: Lady Felicitas speaks very deliberate, rather slow than fast and her manner of speech sometimes feels dramatic, with plenty of pauses for emphasis. To further add to this, she tends to exaggerate a little in pronounciation, stretching or raising vowels to make the words she speaks sound more grandiose. When she speaks in private though, much of the exaggeration and deliberate pronounciation vanishes, she speaks much faster and quieter, more normal one could say.

Psychological Profile for VA:

When acting as Lady Felicitas you dive into the mind of a proud oligarch's daughter, married into a House that promised splendour but now feels more like a jail to you. While you believe in the Houses ambition, the inability of your husband to produce offspring, the general standing of the House in comparison to the other Houses, left you with a desire for a different life and a bitter jealousy towards the ladies of the other noble Houses. You are clever and for the most part know exactly when to say what and how to act in a multitude of situations. All this, combined with the fact that many envy your beauty and position, unknowing of the actual struggles beneath, made you begin paving a different path for yourself, slowly, secretly; one that could never come to light.

Voice description:
  • female adult
The sides they read from:
  • (deliberately, with grandeur) "On behalf of House Fede, I am deeply grateful for the rich cultural presence from lands near and far!"

  • (quietly, with an air of secrecy) "Within the walls of our estates, I must mind my words well and so must those I converse with."
