Project: Vigilante, Game Changers Arc
Karson for Keane Ernstsson
Deadline: 1st March 2021
Voice/Language: Must be able to sound upbeat, casual, moody, monotone at the drop of a hat; language should be able to vary from slang to formal; cussing could be from none at all to every other word; should be able to do all sorts of accents, predominantly should sound Icelandic (if you do try the accents, please also record your voice without it for comparison, unless it's natural)
Important: Not all vocal aspects need to be fulfilled (accent), however, it would be preferable. Improvisation for this character is a plus.
History/relationships: Loic’s twin brother, friend to Reaper, client to Game Changers
Personality: Keane is the more playful of the two. More intelligent and capable than his brother but lacks the attention span or commitment to any business he's not interested in. Acts innocent, but is anything but. Can mimic his brother perfectly and vice versa.
Feel free to vary tone and wording, I'd be interested to hear what you've got!
Blameless, light-hearted
"Aw come on, it's a harmless prank!"
Sarcastic, jokingly
"Me? I'm offended you'd say that. You make it sound like I want to cause trouble."
Regretful, embarrassed, worried
"We've, uh...we're in a bit of a sticky situation."
Apologetic
"I'm sorry...if I knew what would happen...I'm just...so sorry."
Monologue; teasing, mocking
"Keane? Nah, ain't me, you've got the wrong twin." [laughs] "I can't believe you fell for that! I'm the better looking one, how could you get me mixed up with Loic? Yeah, yeah, whatever you say. Reaper? Definitely never heard of 'em. Sounds like a pretty dangerous person though, be careful buddy." [contains laughter] "I'm sorry, I have to go before I catch your idiocy."
No worries about the accent, it's definitely a tricky one haha. As for criticism, your laughs don't sound like you're laughing and the lines with regret could do with more sadness behind them, nothing practice can't fix. However, your pacing and emphasis on words are spot on, so well done! Thanks for the audition!
Thanks for the feedback! I definitely agree that my emoting is a little weak. Since this auction I’ve actually bought a new microphone and been practicing my emoting, so it’s gotten slightly better
That's great to hear! Best of luck with voice acting!
