Martha Melina (Environmental Scientist)

(Design by Kaesyo)

Character Profile: An environmental scientist tied to Sonny MacMillan. Martha is someone who has been promoted far too highly, far too quickly in the face of ongoing environmental decline. Martha carries the weight of the world on her shoulders and is suitably exhausted. While otherwise a friendly and confident girl, the strain of her position has begun to weigh on her, leaving her high-strung and somewhat thorny. While she does her best to remain positive and does all she can, she is rational first and foremost, realising how powerless she is. Despite this, endeavours to do all she can to undo the damage being done to the world.

Voice: Martha can be performed in a variety of accents, namely any strongly recognisable accent from the British Isles (The UK and Ireland) or American. For Martha, we're looking for a medium voice with a slight nasal bent and a heavy weight behind her words. A slight growl in her frustration and a sense of restrained emotion are key to this character and will be what we look for in performances.
