Paid: Flat Rate 30 USD
Role went to: Aidan van der Venne

Young to mid-adult male, confident and cocky, city-slicker, a vocal quality similar to "Professor Venomous" from "OK KO, Let's be Heroes"

Minimal - Moderate Voice Lines (~5 or less finished minutes)

This character should come across as confident, irritating, smooth-talking, and extremely dismissive. His voice should have some slyness to it as well. He's the boss to Alexandrea, and has ignored her attempts at calling for the arresting the emperor of a devastatingly violent empire. He works for the "CC", a mysterious organization seemingly in charge of much of the universe in a legal way. The news just broke that the emperor is dead, and Mr. Kelpicant calls Alexandrea to celebrate in a mocking way, as she's been spending all of her time trying to convince him to talk to his higher-ups to get the man arrested. He thinks this will be the end to her pestering.

Line Context/Acting Help:
"Alexandrea" is pronounced like "Alex-aun-DRAY-uh", not "andria".
1. This should have a really demeaning, cheery, and slightly sarcastic performance. Please put emphasis on the words in capital letters when reading out these lines, as it's supposed to reflect the cadence of his speech. He is cut off at the end of the last sentence by Alexandrea. If you have better ideas on how to deliver this line though, please feel free to let me hear it!
2. He breaks character and loses his composure with that first "HEY NOW!" After that, he regains it throughout the next sentence. If you can imagine the archetype of a powerful man yelling at his phone, showing his true nature, then slicking back his hair as he falls back into his confident and 'likeable' persona, that's exactly what this is.
3. This is to sound very sinister, gravelly, and foreboding. It should be extremely serious sounding and imposing, enough to make the self-assured Alexandrea get goosebumps.

The sides they read from:
  • "ANDREA! How's my favorite peon?! ECSTATIC I'm sure, considering I'm sure you've heard the good word! I've just gotta warn ya girl, NOTHING beats how excited *I* am to FINALLY hear the SWEET SOUND of YOU, *NOT* yappin' my ear off about that egregious hunk of purple flesh anymore! WOOHOO! The emperor is-!"

  • "HEY NOW! That's enough. (Sighs) I'll give you some grace since you are my favorite, as I've previously stated... So, listen here. Did you hear the whole broadcast? They named the culprit."

  • "You want your justice, Andy? Go get it."
