Ceragon Dubs: Emergency Casting For Multiple Projects
Devin_DK for Sigurd Curtis
Sigurd is from a visual novel called Wizardess Heart.Likes: Creatures with wings, Coffee
Dislikes: Inconsiderate People
Hobby: Teasing Klaus (his cousin)
Skills: Riding his cloud bird (Smokey)
Personality:
Sigurd is at first glance, a gentleman. He presents himself as polite and sweet, and always ready to help. There's rarely a moment in his route where he's rude, or steps out of line. He has a more mischievous side to him - teasing the protagonist and Klaus at every turn-- even offering up some of Klaus' secrets, before he cuts him off.
Deep down, he has a lot of personal issues (maybe even self hatred), thinly veiled through his kindness. Sigurd is emotionally out of reach, due to hiding most of his emotions through a smile. He has a bad habit of lying, and his route deals heavily with getting him to open up more and say what he's really feeling. This complex of his started after one event when he was a child - after trying to communicate with his step-mother. Sigurd was still dealing with immense grief over losing his mom, and this wasn't helped by the fact his step-mother reminded him so much of his late mother. She asked if he loved her, and he said yes, but it wasn't convincing, since Sigurd was still adjusting to his new parent. Through tears, she told him he was a terrible liar, and Sigurd felt awful, deciding he couldn't ever hurt anyone close to him like that again. Of course, years later, he and his step-mother accept each other - as he even calls her Mom in his happy ending.
He is also a little distant with Klaus, considering they didn't talk so much after his mother's death, and Klaus wasn't around while he lived with the Goldstein family. But through his route, they get closer again - Sigurd even mentions that the letters he sent to the protagonist were his way of learning to open up to his cousin again.
Voice: Mid-high to high, sweet, silky, soft, smooth. Sigurd is often addressed as "Prince Sigurd" by the female students, so his voice should reflect his gentlemanly manner. We are looking for a voice similar to the previous Voice Actor

I saw you in the darkness. You brought light to me. (Serious, slightly flirtatious)
I knew you were the new student. I heard you were starting today. (Explaining)
*Ahem...* (Clearing his throat) Aren't we a little too close? (Questioning, slightly jealous but trying to hide it) [Context: The protagonist is standing close, talking to one of the other love interests in the novel]
