Future characters for BIG dreams die hard!
genten64 for Joker
Joker is a mystery. He shows up for the first time in episode 2, (in the teaser for episode 3) ordering Julia to hunt down and kill Ridley because he senses danger emerging from him. He will be a recurring character that might get more important later on. However, because I do not want to spoil anything here and am planning to keep it a secret even for the cast (at the moment), there is unfortunately nothing more I can say about him. The audition lines are as of now his lines for the teaser.
I might be voicing him myself, but I want to see if I can find somebody who can pull it of better than me.
His voice should be rather balanced, neither very deep nor high. However, it should lean more towards deep.
Listen… I like you and you are the best for the job I could imagine. Just get out there and do your thing, as usual. I will be awaiting your arrival of course.
(slightly agressive) He has been a nuisance to me ever since he came here. (regretful) After disbanding the phantom thieves I lost everything. (motivated, hopeful) But I want to help the people again… (concerned) Have you not seen what he did to those villagers the other day? That was not a pretty sight. (determined) Due to this, it is necessary that I apply justice. (honest, friendly) Do you understand now?
(affectionate) Ah yes, yes. My cute little bubble head… I will miss you. (sinister) Best not take too long, haha. (slowly, decently menacing) I sure hope that dragon is prepared… as his next breath will also be his last.
Quite the strong performance, I will have to give you that! There are only some minor things I would change. Such as making the second part of the last line come out a bit later and formulating it a little more menacingly. You might also want to heighten your voice a little when talking about how he wants to help the people. Everything beyond that would be extremely nitpicky. These are just the things that you can improve.
Oh yes I definitely think I was weak in those two specific areas. For example, Redway did a way better job on the last line in the acting department because he took his time to really make his take menacing. However, I’m glad I was at least able to establish a decent consistent voice for the character that I can work with to improve upon the future (even if I don’t get casted but that’s beyond the point lol)
