Thanks a lot for your submission! I'm absolutely mesmerized by your vocal performance for Kreutz! Besides delivering wonderfully on the low, flat tone, vastly devoid of emotion, what I find particularly remarkable with your takes is the sort of smooth consistency throughout. I want to praise this detail because it actually adds something new that I hadn't considered: If someone does not understand how emotion is conveyed through speech, because he does not understand emotion, then what incentive would he have to break out of a consistent tone or speech pattern other than conditioning? Sorry, look at me even rambling in the comment section, it's clearly getting out of hand haha, I just wanted to say, remarkable take, thank you!!

Voice Direction:

  • Age and Gender: ~early 20s, male adult voice, low to mid, cold

  • Description: Kris' voice is the least expressive of all, his tone is commonly flat, even monotonous at times, however not deliberatley so, rather naturally, think someone who simply doesn't understand emotion or how it is conveyed through speech. He generally doesn't speak much, unless prompted, mostly by questions. In serious scenes, he shortens his sentences as much as possible, sometimes responding with little more than a word and most importantly: emotional scenes practically don't exist for Kris.



Psychological Profile for VA:

When acting as Kris, you dive into the mind of a stoic, dissociative and highly methodical assassin, who lives only to refine his craft. As Kris, every step is routine, every day there to refine, practice, with silence and precision. Your cycle of practice, mission preparation and mission excecution is only interrupted by interactions, the recurring discussion about methodology in the division and structural changes in the organization. While you don't like these interruptions, you tolerate them. To act as Kris most importantly means, to understand the differences in emotional detachment and where he stands; Where Oka tries to connect, but doesn't really have a sense of where the line between functional conversation and personal interaction lies, for Kris there is no line, there is nothing beyond functional conversation. If that makes sense: Kris did never learn emotions to begin with.

Voice description:
  • male adult
The sides they read from:

  • (cold, flat) “If a Division Black member is sloppy enough to get caught, they deserve their end.”

  • (completely monotonous) "Fear makes noise. Noise invites error."

  • (serious): "Follow me and stay low."
