Hello! This audition will serve as the base for a few voice projects here and there. While each individual instance will have its own appropriate payment attached, this first audition will be given extra incentive as thanks. Won't be too frequent- a commission for the actor every other month or so- very relaxed and long form.
I'm looking for a male VO to portray Auro Lengdreal, described at length below.

(For our mutual sanity, I'm requesting that the actor have Twitter or Discord- some form of reasonable social media to maintain contact.)
A man whose life, once simple, was changed forever in the aftermath of a ritual made by unprepared, incompetent practitioners of magic. Now standing at a whopping two stories, he lives day-to-day, awaiting a desire or purpose in life that may never come- justified by the spite he holds for the occult and those who practice it.
- His accent is unestablished, but his voice is notoriously deep. Keep in mind that he is a man first- not looking for 'fee-fi-fo-fum' type-beat.
- When speaking with a man he considers a father figure, he is soft and curious- like a boy who's just returned from school. There is an sense of respect and willingness to grow (as a person, preferably) underneath dry wit and friendly banter.
- When speaking with strangers, he is eager to speak, but unaware of how to begin. Living alone for so long proves taxing on a human mind, built to socialize frequently. Thus, he is actively trying to seem friendly and interesting while not threatening or clumsy. The last thing the average person wants is to be accidentally flattened by an unaware giant with anxiety.
- When speaking with those he considers hostile, he is firm, but not intentionally threatening. Anything he says, on top of his resting expression of disapproval, should be enough to convey pride and power- establishing his place far above the lesser evils of the world.
(Speaking with his father figure; comfortable and open.)
"Relax, it’s fine. You already do so much for me as it is. So what if you forgot to buy pickles? I can handle the pain, I’m a grown man... (grunt/sigh of pun acknowledgement) I know what I said."
"I didn't really have a real dad growing up. My father left when I was six or so; my mother never told me why. You've been more of a father than he ever was. You gave me a reason to keep going: to come back here, to see you, to have some sort of normalcy in my life again. You gave it meaning."
(Speaking with a friendly stranger; trying to prove himself as kind)
"The nearest town is over that way, but it might be a bit of a walk for you. Easy, it's okay. I'm not gonna do anything. See? Hands up here."
"Sit. You'll lose your balance if you stand. I'm not gonna drop you, I promise."
(Addressing hostile individuals; nonchalant and dissuasive.)
"Listen, I'm gonna give you one chance to knock it off so we can talk like adults. I don't wanna hurt you, but it'll be real easy if I change my mind."
"You wanna get rough, huh? Fine, but you started this. Send my condolences to the guy that's gonna have to scrape what's left of you off the floor."
