A Dead Rose │ Animatic for Series Pitch
Laura Belair for Demon #1 / The Castle Guardian
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
This female demon has the task of answering summonses from spirit boards from the world of the living. It becomes a mind-numbing job with constantly answering questions like “Are you here?” and “Do you mean us harm?” This has made her all-around frustrated and irritable, but she knows the job needs to be done and strictly sticks to protocol. She dresses to be noticed as someone powerful, but she only has aggression to back that up.
VOCAL DIRECTIONDemon #1 is very stern and firmly projected, but yelling in frustration for thousands of years has developed a slight rasp in her throat. The following accents are preferred, but we are open to any interpretation someone may want to bring to the character: English, Scottish, Irish, or Welsh.
(Confronting the protagonist, John, about how he got into Hell)
Wait, this can’t be right. You’re not supposed to be here. There’s no way some store-bought spirit board could open up a whole portal. Those things can barely sustain a solid line of communication. Unless, you aren’t dumb enough to make a board yourself, are you? Whatever. In either case, you’re trespassing. You need to leave!
