Project: Vigilante, Game Changers Arc
Joseph Ptacek for Angel
Deadline: 7th November 2019
Voice/Language: Casual, maniacal, playful, with some slang; cusses sometimes; slightly deep voice; British accent is optional (if you do try the accent, please also record your voice without it for comparison, unless it’s natural)
History/relationships: Foe to the Game Changers and The Spades
Personality: A very cheery person. Well. When he’s causing trouble. Has a twisted sense of humour and dutifulness, and although he can be childish, his cunning, knowledgeableness and maturity say otherwise. Not much is known about him, other than the fact that he seems to be able to control people somehow.
Due to the nature of this character, I will more than likely be casting 2 voices for him, though this isn't set in stone.
Evil, playful
[Maniac laughing] "I'm so glad you could join me on my little stage! Let's have some fun, shall we?"
Cunning, said in a low voice
"If you thought I was capable of very little...well, you're very much mistaken. But no need to take my word for it. Just watch and see."
Slight irritation, then mocking/playfulness
"Had I known you'd be such a stubborn pest, I wouldn't have gone so easy." [chuckles and claps] "Well done, though, sweetheart! I applaud you."
Casual tone, wonder
"I wonder why she's so persistent. There's nothing in it for her. Though I suppose once a fool is always a fool."
Monologue; sounds psychotic, righteous, mocking
"Who am I?" [laughs] "Why, I'm the very reason you're here! I am Angel, God's messenger, here to grant you redemption. All you need is to do what I say, and your trip to heaven is certainly guaranteed. Wouldn't you like that? Yes, of course you would. Then what are you waiting for? Go, simpleton, wreak havoc, and let little Reaper know I sent you~"
You have a good voice and pacing, points for that, well done! Some feedback: for this character in particular, you lack a tone that depicts insanity, in fact, I hear very little emotive tones in general here. It's what catches most beginners out though, so don't worry, practice makes permanent. See if projecting your voice helps you add some emotion to your lines, or listen to other emotive auditions or characters in series and try mimic them. Good luck with give acting and thank you for your audition!
Thank you for the feedback, I may redo my audition with that in mind. I wasn't sure if I should go with quiet insane or completely nuts. Thanks again for the feedback, it's a huge help
