Hello!

Thanks for submitting, this is great! If you're available, would you be able to send another take for both brothers? I'd like to give you a little more context for the characters and see if it alters the performance at all.

I can’t share concept art at this stage, but I can send over some inspiration photos for the characters if you’re alright with that. Here is a PDF - https://drive.google.com/file/d/12qHqmdxm2aCXM3YdWBOdvHxCi4ZmjebQ/view?usp=sharing

For Brother 1 (Sorcerer):

The biggest thing is that he’s a master manipulator. He’s so convincing that people genuinely believe his lies and even see him as someone chosen by the gods.

He’s a prodigy of necromancy and blood magic and copes with his dark existence by finding humor in almost everything. He’s usually casual, amused, and pleasant, essentially treating people like toys, with an almost juvenile way of seeing the world.

He should never sound sinister. He should be dangerously enchanting.

For Brother 2 (Rogue):

He’s essentially the opposite of his brother. He was abandoned by his family for his lack of power and has spent a very long time carrying that sense of isolation and inadequacy.

At this point in the story, he’s forced to assist his brother while secretly trying to protect the woman he loves. He cannot reveal who he really is or what he’s doing, so he maintains a casual, ordinary demeanor while carrying tremendous guilt and conflict underneath.

The important thing is the contrast between his outward behavior and internal state. He may sound casual or detached, but underneath he’s exhausted, conflicted, protective, and afraid of hurting the person he loves. I’d like his dialogue to carry a subtle sense of hurt and gravity, giving the audience the feeling that there’s much more to him than he lets on.

Let me know if you have any questions. I'll most likely get back to you in a week or two after submissions close! Thank you for your time!
