It doesn't have to be perfect.

Giant is currently a placeholder name for a recurring character who appears primarily through flashbacks in Tandem Dark.

Giant is a large, imposing man with a naturally booming and commanding voice. He carries himself with confidence and has the kind of presence that can immediately fill a room. However, despite his intimidating appearance and powerful voice, he is actually an incredibly loving, caring, patient, and affectionate father.

Giant has a strong sense of humor and can find something amusing in even unexpected situations. He enjoys teasing, laughing, telling stories, and occasionally allowing people to learn from their own mistakes. His humor should feel warm and effortless rather than goofy or exaggerated.

One of Giant's strongest qualities is his approach to teaching and guidance. He does not always give someone the answer simply because he knows it. He would rather ask a question, offer a hint, tell a story, or gently push someone toward figuring things out for themselves.

He understands that sometimes the best way to help someone grow is to let them struggle with a problem for a little while. He can offer wisdom without sounding like he is constantly delivering speeches or life lessons.

As a father, Giant is deeply nurturing and protective. There should be an immediate sense of safety and warmth when he speaks to his child. He can be playful and teasing one moment, then patient and comforting the next.

When circumstances become serious, however, Giant's natural presence becomes much more powerful. He is capable of authority, anger, fear, grief, protectiveness, and intense emotional performances. His booming voice should be an asset during these moments without becoming his entire performance.

Voice direction: Adult male • deep and booming • confident • warm • fatherly • humorous • patient • wise • commanding when necessary.

Acting requirements: The actor must be comfortable portraying humor, laughter, teasing, fatherly affection, patience, wisdom, happiness, concern, anger, protectiveness, grief, vulnerability, and emotionally intense dramatic scenes. A naturally powerful voice is preferred, but acting ability and emotional warmth are extremely important.

Thank you so much for taking the time to audition! I’m really excited that you’re interested in my project specifically.

For now, I don’t listen to any of the audio submissions until closer to the deadline, just because I don’t want to accidentally become biased early on. But I’ll definitely be going through everyone’s auditions once we get closer to the deadline!

Good luck, and feel free to resubmit as many times as you want before the deadline if you want to try something different or feel like you can do a better take. Have fun with it!
