CHARACTER:

Tajo Eithne is a a tiger animorphus (a boy who can turn into a tiger) the last of his kind. He is a fun-loving, smart-mouthed kid with a heart of gold. Emotionally driven and intense, he's a loose-cannon who lacks subtlety but at the same time is sensitive and gentle around the people closest to him. His hyperactive nature can prove to be overwhelming to some, but certainly loveable. Because of his loud-mouthed nature, he can often come across as arrogant and egotistical, however Tajo is undoubtedly one of the most selfless, emotional characters in the book. He's is super cocky and appears to have no brain-to-mouth filter. He's famous for his typically cat-related jokes and puns. 

It's not easy to gain Tajo's trust, but once you do, he has your back for the rest of your life, like it or not. However, he puts his best friend, Arwin, before absolutely everyone and everything, including himself and his other friends. Arwin is by far the most important thing in his life, and always his first priority. Tajo may be incredibly cocky and fun-loving on the outside, but on the inside he is guarded and distrustful.

VOICE: 

North American accent. Perhaps even throw in a hint of Spanish.

Tajo is 15 years old and has a relatively high voice. Because of his underlying suffering, he is an extremely temperamental character, very easily upset. For this role, you must have the ability to convey very intense emotions -- joy, depression, rage, grief --  since Tajo has several scenes of this nature. You must be able to scream in agony, and cry intensely without holding. back Show me what your voice can do!

For character and voice inspiration, think of a young Corey Haim circa 1988 (   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7yjTa0OeJA   )
