The ZPD: A Zootopia mini-series!
SketchAdoodle 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?
Dude this is such a great read!!! Loved the way you read the first line! The only "critique" I'd give would be about how that third line sounded like you were trying to keep your voice down, but I bet if you spoke out just a tad bit louder, it'd be perfect! Nice job!
Many thanks for your comment & crit! I wasn't entirely sure where the dBs should fall for "good levels" when recording, though I grew suspicious when I posted a relatively smaller wave form. Oops -that confirms it!
