auditioning for
Kaelen Xena
in The Powerless at Aurora Academy
An orphan, quietly brilliant, used to being underestimated. Guarded but warm once trusted. Needs to convincingly portray: dry self-deprecating humor, quiet resilience, genuine fear and vulnerability, and later, moments of frightening, otherworldly power where he's not fully "himself." Range from soft-spoken and uncertain to commanding and intense is essential.
(Tired)"I've got excellent eyesight. Better than my magical aptitude, at least."
(Panic, quiet and urgent)"I don't know how it works. One moment I'm bracing for the worst, and the next, something that isn't quite me is making all the decisions."
(Quiet, aching honesty) "I almost killed him. I don't even remember doing it. How am I supposed to trust myself after that?"
