Hey Scottish_Bob, thanks so much for auditioning for Bruce!

I really enjoyed your performance, you captured quiet a lot of the character’s personality and the natural Scottish delivery works really well. I also appreciate that you can adjust the strength of the accent.

One thing I was wondering: would you be able to try a slightly deeper, warmer, and more grounded take on the voice? I’ve been imagining Bruce with a bit more weight and presence behind his voice, while still keeping his humour and personality.

No worries if that’s not your natural range, I just wanted to see how it would fit the direction I have in mind for the character. Thanks again for taking the time to audition!

    Hey hey, thank you...you just caught me before calling it a night so was able to do a quick version for you...bear in mind its 01:20 in the morning lol... I'm more than happy to jump on a zoom call if needed if you wanted to explore other things with the character.

    It could be the time of night, but I couldn't figure out how to replace the audio so have just sent another audition.

      Hey Bob, thanks for getting that through!

      I really appreciate you taking the time to put together another version, no worries about the timing at all.

      Also no problem about the audio replacement issue, I know some platforms can be a little confusing with that. The new audition is completely fine.

      I appreciate you being open to exploring the character further as well. Bruce is someone I’m still refining, so being able to discuss the direction and character details is definitely helpful.

      Thanks again!

Voice Actor - Bruce (Support Role)

Deferred: Agreed Amount
Role went to: Scottish_Bob

Bruce is a loyal and dependable member of Rivermoor, known for his big personality, dry humour, and strong sense of community.

On the surface, Bruce is energetic, playful, and always ready with a joke. Whether he's defending his questionable ideas or turning an ordinary moment into a story, he brings warmth and humour to those around him.

However, beneath the confidence and laughter is someone who genuinely cares about the people around him. Bruce is observant, supportive, and knows when to put the jokes aside to be there for his friends during difficult times.

We are looking for a voice actor who can capture both sides of Bruce:

  • His loud, cheerful, and humorous personality

  • His quieter, caring, and emotionally sincere moments

  • Natural character interactions and chemistry with other actors

  • A believable range between comedy and serious storytelling

Voice Direction

Bruce has a naturally deep, warm, and grounded voice with a subtle Scottish influence, reflecting his background and heritage within Rivermoor. Not looking for an exaggerated or stereotypical Scottish accent.

A natural performance with slight Scottish characteristics is preferred. The most important aspects are the character's personality, emotional delivery, and ability to make Bruce feel like a real person.

Accent accuracy is less important than creating a memorable and authentic character.

Audition Instructions

Please provide a sample reading of the provided audition lines.

I'm looking for a performance that shows:

  • Bruce's energetic and humorous side

  • His genuine side and emotional depth

  • Natural conversational delivery rather than simply performing a voice

The goal is to find someone who can bring Bruce to life as a character, not just provide a specific accent.

The sides they read from:
  • 1. Comedic: "I'm telling ya, Adel — cold cod's better than hot! Brings out the flavour, like a fine whisky!"

  • 2. Big Personality / Over-the-top Confidence: "No, Adel, it's genius! I'll open a tavern one day — 'Bruce's Cold Cod & Spirits!'"

  • 3. Hopeful / Sincere: "That's life for us, eh? Messy and chaotic. But… even in all the mess, there's hope."
