Coffee Talk Game Dub
BabyBassBari for Hyde
Hyde is a vampire and longtime friend of Gala. Lives in LA but is in Seattle (where the game takes place) for business-related reasons. The age says he's middle age but since he's a vampire he's been alive for a VERY long time. Hyde met Gala in the 1960s so yeah he's pretty old. He is a supermodel who models for aging products and since, as a vampire, he barley ages it's a perfect fit. One of his traits is that he is brutally honest. Not because he's a bad guy but that's how he is. He isn't necessarily wrong in what he says but its how he says it that can lead to hurt feelings. (I mention this because there's a scene in the game where this is important). Also has a slight sense of humor and can mess with the barista at times. He appears on Day 2 and Day 4 (aka chapters 2 and 4).
For his voice, it was a little more challenging to pin down. I was thinking that he should have a more monotone voice but add some flavor to it. His voice is like he doesn't care. But try and keep the feeling casual nothing TOO epic or dramatic. He's just talking with friends over coffee at a small coffee shop in Seattle. Hope that makes sense. The example I had in mind was like Matthew Mercer as Yusuke or Jotaro. Here are some of his many voices: https://youtu.be/D787RXZYiqg. Or Alucard from Hellsing Ultimate but less evil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4ugVkQUboM
But feel free to try your own voices that you'd think best fit and maybe I'll end up liking yours more.
(Context: Hyde and Gala are having a conversation. Gala asks Hyde how the town is treating him so far [since Hyde is from LA and this is Seattle])
(Normal monotone response) Same old.
(said with a slight smirk but still monotone) I was surprised seeing so many changes after just a few years though.
(Context: Hyde is talking to the Barista about his job as a skincare model and while telling him that Vampires are good skincare models because they don’t age. The barista asks if that isn’t just false advertising)
(Monotone snicker) Heh
(Monotone Condescending) Don’t be naive.
(Monotone Explanation) Truth is a matter of circumstance and perspective.
Advertising is just framing the truth...
(Context: Hyde and Freya are asking Lua about Baileys and their familial problems. How they can’t get married because their families disapprove. Hyde, who is very blunt, gives his opinion and comes off like a jerk).
(Monotone Response) Problem solved then?
(Monotone and blunt. Said with a chuckle) Why do you have to care so much about what his or your family thinks?
(Montone and Blunt) Just marry him, make a family of your own.
