The Girl Named Parker
VocalOutburst for Sage Woods
Line Count:
374 Lines, including 14 monologues
Characteristics:
Sage is very patient, calm, but he is always wanted to fit in and be decently popular. In high school, Sage gave that all up to be friends with Max. He got it all easily being from a small town, but going to university is different. There is new people, new pressure, new everything, and that deep down urge gets the better of him. He is still calm and patient at times but he tries to please everyone else and be who they want him to be.
Voice Notes:
Sage is 18, turning nineteen. He has a medium to deep pitch, and his tone is usually pretty mellow
Other:
Sage is friends with almost all the characters at some point in the story. He starts off being close friends with Max, but that begins fade. Parker he has a massive crush on, just like Max does, and he is friends with Angelica, Eric and Brock. not really knowing Alex. He does look up to Brock as a role model which gets him into trouble at times.
(Slightly teasing, Casual, Happy)
You really are a jelly wobbling plankton.
(Moderate to long monologue, Calm, Reflecting)
After Max’s ‘little scene,’ the night went smoothly. I did think that he was a little on edge or tense, but that’s Max. A party isn’t really his scene, and never will be one. But he could have at least calmed down a bit, I mean man he was almost looking for a fight. Max’s is normally a calm and cool-headed guy. Wonder what pissed him off. Parker, on the other hand, is like a social butterfly, so graceful and spectacular. She almost makes a room brighter just by shedding a laugh or a simple smile, but one that’s true to the bone, you know? I am so glad that Max invited me even if he was a little iffy.
(Annoyed, Bothered, Frustrated)
Well you don’t need to, I am sorry to pull you away from your friends.
I'd love to hear any and all feedback!
My only recommendation is work on volume. The last line for this character is a lot more forceful and emotion and it just doesn't show it, there are of course other ways to show the emotion then slight changes in rate and tone, but volume is normally the most common. You did change your volume once or twice but it wasn't as noticeable as I would like. Other then that it sounded great!
Thanks so much for the feedback! I definitely see what you mean, seems like I was playing it too safe with that last line. I'd be happy to give the audition or just that line another shot if you'd like!
