Say something you think would fit
Ethan just fulfilled Death's order.
"I got an order for... Death? [Pause] (turns around) Okay, who's the joker? C'mon, I can take a-- (turns back around to get caught off guard by Death standing right in front of him) AHHH!"
Death snatches his mocha from Ethan's hand, then points two fingers at his eyes and then points one finger at Ethan, indicating he's got his eyes on him.
"[Scared] Uh..."
Death points at the coffee grinder, swipes a finger across his neck to signal Death, then he pats Ethan on the shoulder and walks off.
" (Ethan stands stiff and pale) [Thinking terrified] What does that mean? D-Does that mean the coffee maker is gonna k-k-k-kill me?"
A friend walks up to ask him if he's okay.
"(Quickly turns around with a fake smile) [Nervously laughing] Ha, ha, ha, I'm fine! [Thinking] NO, I'M NOT! [Speaking normally] Hey, do me a favor and watch the counter for me while I go on break, would ya? (Turns around with a flow of tears running down his face) [Thinking] Oh, my life! I can't believe I'm actually gonna die! *Sobs*"Ethan is narrating about his life with Death. (Kinda like a teaser.)
"[Calm] My name is Ethan Scolle (Pronounced "Skull"). I'm your average guy, who lives a average life amongst average people..."
(Death barrages through the window) "[Narrating while erasing part of what he said, slightly irritated] Well crap, now I'm gonna have to rewrite that. Y'know what, (cripples paper) screw it, I'm just gonna go ab-lib here...
(Add in your own twist. Remember: Ethan is talking about how his life changed as soon as he encountered Death. He wants to get answers from him, but in order to do so, he needs to first survive Death's job as a Soul Contact Assistant.)
" *Sighs* What the hell did I get myself into?"
Hey there! Thanks for auditioning! This is pretty funny! Definitely fits the personality I'm aiming for. I would say maybe try to go a bit deeper on the pitch just to experiment. Again, you got the personality, but just to see, maybe go a tad bit lower? Also, on "No, I'm not!", He's shouting internally to himself. Think of it as if his conscience is trying to warn his friend that he's not okay. Hope that helps! Keep going! You're right around the bullseye!
Thanks for the feedback! I've been busy the past couple days but will give it another go in the next day or two.
Hey again! 🤔I took another listen and really tried to invision the character, Ethan. After closely listening, I've decided to pin this for consideration. This might be what I'm looking for, but I'd like to see what else you can do. I have confidence that you can get this role. We just have to play with the pitch a little bit so we can find the one voice. With that said, I have a line I'd like to hear you try to take a swing at. It'll be up shortly.
