Johnny | Villain (male)

JOHNNY — AUDITION GUIDANCE

Age: 20s
Voice Type: Young adult male, naturally deep/rough voice with a confident, cocky edge.

Voice Direction:
Johnny should have a voice with a smooth, slightly raspy, confident quality. He should sound like someone who enjoys getting under people’s skin. His voice should have personality—he isn’t some emotionless soldier.

The performance should have the general swagger and theatrical confidence of a charismatic anime antagonist, similar in spirit to the English-dub style associated with Donquixote Doflamingo, but do not imitate the actor or copy the exact voice.

Personality:
Johnny is a bully type. He likes intimidating people, talking down to them, and making himself feel superior. He isn’t necessarily screaming all the time—in fact, he’s often more annoying and threatening when he’s casually mocking someone.

He enjoys having the upper hand.

Johnny should sound like the kind of guy who can walk into a room, look at someone, and immediately start messing with them because he knows they aren’t going to do anything about it.

Delivery:
Johnny should speak with confidence and swagger. He can stretch certain words, use sarcastic pauses, and occasionally chuckle when he’s amused.

Don’t make every line overly dramatic. A lot of his personality should come through naturally, like he’s having fun bullying people.
