Voices From The Outer Ring (Lead Role Re-Opened)
TheOriginalPinhead for Chiaro
Chiaro (pronounced "Key-arr-oh) is Artemis's long lost younger brother and second eldest among his siblings. From birth, he inherited the supernatural ability to generate and control electricity which he was taught not to use unless in case of emergencies, but tends to occasionally squander for trivial things (such as charging his phone). At the age of 17, Chiaro ran away from home after a particular dispute with his father and never looked back. After spending the following years in the bad side of town, he became accustomed to fighting which for a while exacerbated his violent tendencies. Eventually, he met Jaska who gradually provided a more positive influence on him. Ever since, the two have been close friends and hang out regularly.
Personality-wise, Chiaro comes off as temperamental and standoffish yet loyal and dependable once a person earns his trust. He's the type that can say a lot with just a few words and a simple facial expression alone. For auditioning him, I would recommend picturing someone whose default emotion is "always annoyed."
[Optional: You don't have to do this, but I would like it if you introduced yourself and state what made you interested in this project.]
(Going off on a rant) "You wanna know what my problem with Andy is? He's a right cunt if I ever knew one and a certified, card-carrying douchebag. Every time we all get together, I have to sit here and tune out his shitty anecdotes that none of us give a fuck about. It's always about how he's scoring some 'dope-ass connection' or about some chick he thinks he's gettin' with. Makes me fucking sick, Jas, and I don't know how the hell you can even stomach the shit that comes out of his mouth. He's so conceited his own worse enemy would be a guy that looks just like him only an inch taller."
(Jaska: "Heh, I think you mean an inch bigger.")
"I could have gone there, but two inches ain't a whole lot for the other guy to work with."
(Reminiscing) "I don't know what got into me that day. I just saw his stupid shit-eating smirk and those bug eyes staring back at me... and all of a sudden I just saw red. My fists just wouldn't stop until his face painted the pavement. I had a lot of shit that I was dealing with and well... after a lot of time to reflect and after I met you I just decided I didn't wanna be that kinda person anymore."
Hello, and thank you for auditioning for the role of Chiaro. At its core, your recording matches the range and tone for the character, and you definitely sell the annoyed personality. For some of the issues that stood out to me, I noticed the "pop" when you said the word "problem" at the very beginning. When you said the words "shitty anecdotes," you kind of mumbled it. Try taking the time to enunciate some of your words more, as when you read "would be a guy just like him," you went so fast it sounded like the words were jumbled together. Finally, for whatever reason you decided not to read the second set of lines. Thank you for taking the time to audition and reading my feedback.
Thank you for the feedback! I will keep everything you've said in mind when I audition again.
