Navi is a Gypserian guard and recurring supporting character in Tandem Dark. She frequently appears alongside Kita and Bauzz, with the three having a close and familiar dynamic.

Navi is a bold, outspoken, energetic little spitfire who says exactly what she thinks. She does not spend much time worrying about whether something is appropriate to say. If she thinks it, there is a very good chance everyone else is about to hear it.

She is also an extremely comedic character. Almost every appearance from Navi has the potential for humor, whether she is making an observation, calling someone out, arguing with Bauzz, reacting to something ridiculous, or randomly saying the thing everyone else was polite enough to keep to themselves.

Navi is very comfortable with herself and difficult to embarrass. She will say what she wants, do what she wants, and generally owns whatever comes out of her mouth. She is not particularly concerned with appearing proper or protecting her pride.

Insults also tend to roll right off her back. Someone can make fun of her and she may genuinely find it hilarious. However, that does not mean she will let them get away with it. She is perfectly capable of returning an insult tenfold and laughing while she does it.

Her humor should feel quick, effortless, and conversational. She should not sound like she is waiting for a punchline or deliberately performing for an audience. Sometimes the funniest thing about Navi is simply how confidently she says something completely out of pocket.

Her relationships with Kita and Bauzz are especially important. She frequently goes back and forth with Bauzz, while Kita is another close presence in her life. Their banter should feel comfortable, familiar, and effortless.

Although Navi is heavily comedic, she is still a fully developed character. The actor must be capable of handling anger, fear, concern, seriousness, affection, and emotional scenes when the story calls for them.

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!
