The Doctor | "Romeo"

Character description

Name undisclosed for spoiler reasons. A respected scientist and the founder of Project Juliet, The Doctor presents himself as a gentleman in public. Yet beneath that, his intelligence is outmatched by an obsession with viewing women as dolls to be shaped and owned.

Traits: entitled, charismatic, manipulative, goal-oriented

Disclaimer: The Doctor’s characterization revolves around misogyny and control. His role includes some dialogue that people may find disturbing, but no slurs are used. Regardless, please only audition if you’re comfortable portraying this archetype.

Voice direction (optional, suggestion)

Medium range. Although I imagine our resident Romeo can lower his voice, I never envisioned him with a “deep, booming voice.” Crisp diction. Slightly forward-placed resonance. Tends to speak with smugness rather than overt menace. Also, he's meant to sound attractive.

Given his personality takes a complete 180 in private, I envision him with three types of voices/vocal performances. In public, he sounds like the prince charming you can read about in fairy tales (but with a touch of smug nonchalance and condescension), which makes the public swoon over him.

Behind closed doors, his voice flattens. Depending on the situation, it can also turn more sinister. And once something sets him off at last, he sounds especially intense.
