~Rise From The Ashes ~: Artists and Supporting VAs (ADDITIONAL ARTISTS STILL OPEN - More roles TBA)
bsimm8720 for Siberia
Summary: Siberia (fondly nicknamed 'Sibee') is a sweet and caring eighteen year old girl who is warm, big sisterly and could easily possess a heart of gold. As her abilities involve empathic manipulation (ie: absorbing positive and negative energy from others and likewise broadcasting such energy to others herself), she is very empathetic, able to pick up on others’ thoughts and emotions within the vicinity, as well as detect liars with ease. She has recently taken on the alias of 'Tiger' and like her boyfriend Elliot, she has also had the misfortune of being pursued by Everest and a mysterious super known only as Ulysses. She is honest, studious, creative and affectionate to many people. She believes strongly in her values and morals and hates the idea of others being hurt or upset, so she will endeavour to do her whatever she can to achieve a peaceful negotiation from both parties. However, she is rather vulnerable and can push herself very easily over her limits, in her desperation to take away others’ pain. She is quite new to the super scene compared to Elliot and she has only recently realised her own powers, so they’re a little hard to control currently. Siberia also tends to get pretty anxious and have panic attacks when pushed to her limits. Still, despite her fears and apprehension, she always does her best to put on a brave face for the sake of others. She sees Ash as a younger brother to her and is more than prepared to do whatever it will take to keep him and other supers safe - but such noble aims sometimes bring significant consequences...
Appearance: Arc I (Ch 7 - 9, 12, 13), Arc II (occasional appearances~)
Personality: Kind, Caring, Brave, Warm, Big-sisterly, Sweet, Compassionate, Selfless, Empathetic, Honest and Moralistic
Voice: Warm and caring, with a mid to mid-high pitch. Her voice should be rather soothing and gentle, but also sound quite cool and disapproving when she gets angered. It takes a lot for Sibee to raise her voice, so her speech is mostly soft and gentle.
Disclaimer: Siberia belongs to the super talented SilverDragon123 (one of our amazing staff~) and is her precious baby. She will be deciding who the final role goes to, so good luck~ Placeholder artwork also belongs to her too!
[A little surprised, but warm, friendly and soothing] Ah, good morning. I didn’t hear you get up. How are you feeling? ...You must be feeling a little lost and confused right now, but that's okay. All you need to know is that you're safe now and I won’t let anyone hurt you here. [Smiling] My name is Siberia, but everyone calls me Sibee. … [Slight laugh] Don’t worry, I’m not as cold or frosty as my name. [Pause]...I hope not, at least. I can’t say the same for my hands though. They’re always pretty cold!
[Thoughtfully with some wariness, a little hushed] ...I don't think we should trust what they say so easily. As much as I want to believe them, they're really setting off my Weirdar. [Resolutely, trying to sound confident]...Let's slip away quietly before they catch on to us and reconvene with Elliot. It’ll be okay. [With full belief and reassurance] Just trust in your power. Mind over the Matter. That’s it.
[Playfully sarcastic] That’s very humble of you. [Pause] ] Yeah, Really pretty coming to a novice like me from a seasoned vegetable such as yourself. [Realising] ...That wasn’t right. Seasoned VETERAN. [Laughing at herself] Geez.
[Sweetly. Hushed.] Hey. Hey. Look at me. [Pause] You’re not alright, but that’s okay. That’s okay because we’re safe here. No better time to not be alright than now. Squeeze my hand tight [breathes in deeply then out deeply] Don’t bury it. You can’t hurt me. You can’t hurt you. Not with me here. ...You feel that? I’ve got us covered. That’s right. We’re safe.
[Bargaining and empathetic] You say that, Doctor Voss, but...I know that there is more to you than that. [Softly, probing] There’s a part of you that...doesn’t really want this, isn’t there? There has to be a deeper reason for your actions, or maybe you found yourself in with the wrong crowd out of desperation to find a purpose for yourself, [a little shaky] b-but...whatever it is, it is not too late to do the right thing now [Pause]. ...P-Please. Things don’t have to be this way...
Hi Sim! :D Thank you so much for auditioning for our project and re-uploading the complete audition! :D You did a really amazing job as Siberia! Her warmth, caringness and gentleness was captured beautifully in her soft tone, the laughter was on point, the hushed whispering and the emotion packed in through the lines was stellar and you did an awesome job! :D You definitely brought her to life here and that 3rd line will always be one of my favourites and the tenderness in line 4 was beautiful. Truly great work! :D I can't really think of much feedback to improve right now, but if I get any suggestions from Sibee's creator, I'll be sure to let you know! Thank you so much again and take care for now! :D
Thank you for taking the time to listen and give me feedback on this take of my audition! I was so sad when I heard the first one I uploaded and realized it had cut part of the file off, so I’m glad everything sounded as good as it did! I really tried to put myself into the character, and I felt really connected to the text as I was running through the lines to practice, initially, so it feels so good to know that I was able to bring her to life in that way with my voice! For you to have a favorite line in my audition take is such a huge compliment unto its self.
No thank YOU for a wonderful audition! You are more than welcome and totally deserve it. It's early days of course, but you're definitely definitely in for a fighting chance at Sibee~ I'm so glad you had fun with her lines, that is the most important thing after all~ :D
Hi Bsimm! I hope you are well! I'm just replying as promised with feedback from Sibee's creator to help your voice work in future :D : “Call backs. Definitely. He voice timber is spot on. Again, my feedback is for the last two lines. Line 2.1 is a little too tearful (but an excellent example of an emotional display that might appear later or earlier, so I'm not complaining). I would have her bulk it up and sound softly confident. Siberia is using her powers and her powers are working. There is little more exhilarating to an INFJ than watching your words have impact on people. On line 2.2 I loved how you could hear her slowly lose control over the situation. ("this isn't working!") I would have her emphasize that "oh shoot oh shoot" feeling as the situation slips through her fingers by, again, making the first half of that line collected and confident (up through the "a little shaky" directing tag)." Hopefully that helped and I hope you have a lovely day! :D
