Android 8 (male)

ANDROID 8 — AUDITION GUIDANCE

Voice Type:
Deep, powerful male voice with a gentle and somewhat innocent quality. He should sound physically intimidating without actually trying to intimidate people.

Character:
Android 8 is a large, powerful android, but his personality doesn’t completely match his appearance. He’s generally calm, kind-hearted, straightforward, and somewhat socially awkward.

He isn’t the type to constantly trash-talk or boast. When he speaks, he usually means exactly what he says.

There should be a slight sense of innocence behind his voice, especially when he’s confused or doesn’t understand someone’s intentions.

Voice Direction:
Keep the voice relatively low, steady, and relaxed. Don’t make him sound overly robotic. He’s an android, but he should still have natural emotion.

When he’s confused, let the actor sound genuinely puzzled.
When he’s friendly, let the voice soften.
When he’s angry, the voice should become noticeably deeper and more serious rather than turning into constant screaming.

The contrast is important:

He looks like a monster. He talks like a gentle giant.
