The ZPD: A Zootopia mini-series!
cesartheking for Luke Barkole
Luke Barkole (Bar-kOh-leh) is an African Wild Dog and the newbie on the force. He is bright-eyed and bushy tailed. Very upbeat to parallel how Judy Hopps was when she first started at the ZPD. He wants to please everyone and make others happy. We imagine a Haida (Ben Disken-esque) voice for Luke but we would love to see how you interpret the character.
**Scene is another officer tries to help a kid mouse out of a mouse-sized tree a bit too forcefully and fails, so Luke approaches the situation in a more compassionate way**
Lemme give it a shot! (kneels down to the level of the mouse in the bush) Hey there, little buddy. Gotcha self stuck up pretty high, huh? Pretty scary, I know… but you don’t have to be scared! Because your parents are here, and we’re here too! See these big paws? They’re an elevator made just for you! So hop on in and let’s go for a quick ride down, okay? That’s it, keep your paws and tail inside the vehicle at all times, (maybe Luke sings a little elevator song) and done! Good work, little buddy!(surprised after someone guessed his high school superlative name) *gasp* How did you know?!?!
(introspective, slightly downtrodden) I want to believe I'm a 'good boy' and I can do the right thing, but how do change someone's mind when they're so certain... that you're not?
There is a bit of echo in your audition and I think you have a great voice, but it's not exactly what we are looking for with Luke's voice. Keep up auditions though, because you have great tone and deepness to your voice! :D
