savillevoices for Vanessa Jones
This character is extremely important, and I assume very difficult to play. Vanessa Jones is a prostitute for aristocrats and upper-class merchants in Damascus City. She's essentially Charles' girlfriend, but they have a very abusive relationship. She's spiteful, and Charles treats her horribly. The audience should feel disgusted in both Charles and Vanessa in their scenes together. She's a very transgressive, abrasive character. Also, her role is very explicit, such as sounds of her having sex being used as ambiance at points in the story, so you must feel comfortable with that before auditioning.

Every day I wake up in this building, I remember the path father put me on. (PAUSE) This sure beats the hell out of working on the streets of Salem District.
(Sounding desperate) I love you. (PAUSE) Do you love me? Am I just as important to you as your father is? (Vanessa doesn't give Charles the chance to respond) You know, you've been coming to see me for almost 5 years now, Chuck. Don't you ever think about maybe starting a new chapter in our lives? Maybe settling down together?
*Sex noises* (Think, When Harry Met Sally, only darker and not hilarious)
