Echoes of Valentia: A Musical Production
Joseph Frost for Berkut
Try not to stray too far from the character's original voice.
Character description: Berkut is a prideful man who, much like Fernand, places great emphasis on social status. Unlike Fernand, who acts as if he is owed something for being a noble, Berkut feels the need to demonstrate his own power and worth, subtly signifying contrast between Zofian and Rigelian ideals. Berkut tends to come off as haughty, bigoted, and even a bit aggressive, in the way that he talks down on others. He is very mistrustful of most people, particularly the church of Duma; he loathes and outright fears Jedah, and is extra-suspicious of religion and magic as a result.
His parents hammered it into his head as he grew up that might made right, and that he could never follow in Rudolf's footsteps without being strong. His desperation is his undoing; he is fiercely proud, yet at the same time, walking on a knife's edge, terrified to fail Rudolf and prove himself unworthy or weak.
Pff. What nonsense. One is born either noble or common. That destiny cannot be changed. Has a sheep any hope of leading wolves? No.
Additional Line - You have made an impression, Alm… Yes you have.
All this time… All the effort! What has it all been for?! …No. It isn’t true. It can’t be. I refuse to believe it. Nothing but lies… Lies, lies, lies, lies, LIES!
Additional Line - Rinea… Forgive me… If you’ll have me, I’d be honored to… set out… with you…
(Sing a few verses of a song of your choosing as Berkut.)

You reach those low notes excellently! You've definitely got it going for you in the lines too, wow. You do the well-loved "Lies x6" speech better than I could have possibly hoped for! You sound diappointed and intrigued during the additional line, which is exactly what I was looking for. While I love those low notes in the singing, I coooouuld use a better example of your singing, as that's a relatively small sample and only showing one particular type of singing, while Berkut really goes all out in most of his songs. So I'd appreciate if you could try singing something that's a little more "confident", and uses some more notes. All-in-all though, this is a great audition! I certainly didn't expect an excellent Berkut audition to be the first thing I got on this Casting Call. Thanks for auditioning! And, let me know if you decide to try singing something that can give me a better example of your range, and singing as Berkut. Looking forward to hearing back from you ^^
OMG UMM I CAN show more if you want.
For sure! I don't want to make it a hassle or anything though. I'd just like to hear more of your range and such, so I can know if you'll be able to sing some of the more, 'dramatic' songs, that Berkut will be in ^^
