Matteo's Father ($5/hr)

Give him a deep, powerful, authoritative voice with a naturally forceful presence, but avoid making every line a shout. In quieter moments, he should sound controlled and confident, as though he knows his position gives his words weight without needing to raise his voice. When angry, his volume and intensity can rise dramatically, with clipped words, sharp emphasis, and an almost explosive quality. His interactions with Matteo should carry an underlying sense of control and ownership; he speaks at Matteo rather than truly listening to him.
