Appreciate the audition! You've definitely got potential and a great mic setup, but the energy here is way too excited and high pitched sounds a bit too much like a hyped-up anime protagonist.

Kage is not happy to be here. He’s an arrogant, passive-aggressive asshole who is genuinely annoyed he even has to bother dealing with people beneath him.

For the next take:

Drop the pitch (not too deep): Bring your voice down slightly deeper into a controlled, relaxed range—just enough to lose that high-energy anime feel without forcing a heavy bass voice.

Slow down & deadpan: Give it a monotone, snarky, passive-aggressive delivery.

Casual superiority: When he's mocking someone, it's not a shouted insult—it's a dry, exhausted, passive-aggressive sigh. He’s three steps ahead and bored by it.

For reference: Check out Cypher from Valorant on YouTube for the "Give me a corpse" and "my camera's broken" lines. That'll give you the information for the exact cadence and flat, mocking tone Kage is using.reference audio - https://youtu.be/T8p6xLIvms0?si=cOJKbm8J_5KkNR96

Give it another spin with that low, deadpan grit! Looking forward to hearing round two.

Deferred: Profit Share
Role went to: JD_VA

  • Archetype: Shadow Hunter / Corporate Asset Recovery (Redacted)

  • Lore Context: A ghost in the machine. A corporate cleaner whose former employer no longer exists, largely because of him. He doesn't fight on the front lines, he fights from behind the people doing the shooting, slipping through the cracks with unauthorized prototype cloaking hardware.

    Vocal Tone & Personality: Egotistical, slick, manipulative, and deadpan. He’s an unapologetic asshole with supreme confidence, sneaky, calculated, and relentlessly determined. His delivery should drip with casual superiority, like someone who knows he holds all the cards and is already three steps ahead of you.

The sides they read from:

  • I was here the whole time.(Deadpan, whispered close to the mic, dripping with smug condescension.)

  • Oh no... my camera's broken. Give me a corpse... wait, wrong script again. (mocking cypher from valorant)Performance Note: Starts with fake, dry panic, slips effortlessly into a mocking imitation, and ends with a cynical, bored exhale mocking sigh , Shows off his supreme ego and total lack of respect for standard intel ops

  • Vex... you might be a reality-warping chaos anomaly, but at the end of the day? You're just an unfiled liability. And I'm the cleaner.
