Hey! I wanted to be honest with you about your audition because I really like your performance and the way you deliver the lines. I think your voice fits the character really well, and I definitely don’t want the audio quality to overshadow that.

The only thing I noticed is that the recording sounds a little strong in places. Your gain might be a little high, and you also sound fairly close to the microphone, so those could be things worth experimenting with. Another possible factor could be the direction you’re facing the microphone. Depending on the mic, the front-facing side is usually the side with the company logo on it, so if you happen to be speaking into the wrong side, that could affect how the microphone picks up your voice.

Of course, these are just possibilities! Every microphone and recording setup is different, so there could be other factors involved too. I’d be more than happy to help you experiment with the setup and see if we can get the audio sounding a little clearer.

I just want to be upfront that I can’t guarantee that you’ll get the role, even with adjustments, but I really do like what you’re doing with the character and would love to hear another sample if you’re willing to try some changes.

If you would like to talk with me about it, I’ve sent over a friend request on Discord. I can see what I can do and we can work together for your mic :)

    Yes, please! My USB mic stopped working, so I switched back to my laptop's built-in mic array. Let me try redoing the lines with proper distance from the laptop mic array.

    I may have accidentally dismissed your friend request because we didn't have any mutual servers...could you resend the friend request? My discord name is junbride

SIDE/BACKGROUND ROLE.

PLEASE VOICE THIS AUDITION IN ENGLISH.

Female adult. Age 48.

Katherine Brooks is River's mother. She works two jobs, an accountant at a local bank and a part-time grocery store cashier, and has spent years working hard to provide for her son. She is an ambivert who leans introverted, realistic, responsible, and caring.

Her voice should feel warm, mature, grounded, and naturally maternal, while still being capable of expressing exhaustion, concern, frustration, affection, and determination.

She speaks fluent English with an American accent.

KIND OF LIKE:

  • Delia Ketchum from Pokémon.

  • Aunt May from Spider-Man.

  • Jessie from Toy Story.

VOICE SIMILARITIES:

  • Helen Parr (Elastigirl) from The Incredibles (not the accent).

  • Aunt May from Spider-Man.

WHAT YOU NEED:

  • Clear and consistent recording environment.

  • A microphone is recommended but not required.

  • Basic audio editing skills required for final recordings.

  • Final files must be MP3 and named:

    YourName_KatherineBrooks(1).MP3

  • You must be comfortable portraying a mature mother who can move between everyday conversation, exhaustion, concern for her son, and emotionally serious moments.

GOOD LUCK!

Voice description:

  • female adult
The sides they read from:

  • "When is it?" *Pause* "For how long?" *Pause. Sigh.* "You’re going to message me every hour and right before you go to sleep. Tell me who you’re in a cabin with and always be with your classmates, understand?"

  • "River?! River! Oh my god-- my baby!" *worried, crying, hopeless.*

  • "I can't handle the expenses alone... I need you to help. Your son is in the hospital, that's the least you can do, Michael." *Hope, grief, despair, fight ("she's got a type of fight in her," not "she wants to square up and fight him").*
