Jeff is a supporting character who appears in the first episode of Tandem Dark. Although his appearance is brief, he plays an important role in the opening of the story when he encounters and helps Koze.

Jeff has a lighthearted, relaxed, and naturally likable personality. Even when things around him are dangerous or strange, he has a tendency to make small jokes or casual comments rather than becoming overly dramatic.

His humor should feel natural and understated, not like he's deliberately trying to be the comic-relief character. He might see something disgusting and casually respond with a little “Yeah... gross.” before moving on.

Most importantly, Jeff should immediately feel non-threatening and approachable. Koze is a frightened young child when they meet, and Jeff's demeanor provides a little bit of safety and relief during an otherwise chaotic situation.

I'm looking for an actor who can balance warmth, casual humor, concern, and urgency without making the performance overly theatrical.

This is a minor, one-episode role.

Voice direction: Adult male • friendly • laid-back • approachable • lightly humorous • warm • natural delivery.

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!
