[ Part 1 of Lines ] - Adrien Dewstone - Protagonist

Adrien is a LEADING role in The Mystery in Crimson, my indie show. He is a very demanding role, with long scripts and lines that usually hit upwards of fifty minutes. This is a recast, as his original voice actor has stepped down, though I don't need something that matches IDENTICALLY to his original, I need something that works off it.

He is in his mid 30s and a parent, I do need someone who can make him sound somewhat old. Not ridiculously old of course, but again I believe that was something the original voice nailed.

Adrien swears very spareingly, however he does do it on occasion. If this is something that makes you uncomfortable, I'd advise not auditioning.

He has a Queen's English accent, also known as the stereotypically posh one. He's snide, charismatic and bratty to almost everyone he interacts with barring his children, Jesse and Jackson.

He is a Lawyer and Detective, and as such acts rather sophisticated if extremely rude, his voice should reflect this. The episodes that are up are good examples to how he sounds, however, my personal headcanon voice for him has always been Jonathan Sims from The Magnus Archives, I'd recommend going for a similar voice / tone to that.

His voice should also be flexible and ranged, he's extremely sassy and cold when talking to strangers, while also very soft and gentle when talking to his children. I need whoever fills this role to be able to balance that. Like I said, he's DEMANDING, if you take this role you will need to balance a number of different factors.

Some additional notes include the fact that Adrien is quite theatrical and dramatic, often saying words in a sing-songy way, but that can be sarcaficed and I'm not too bothered about him losing that aspect. The main points are his flamboyant but rude nature, and his shift when he's speaking to people he likes.
