~Rise From The Ashes ~: Artists and Supporting VAs (ADDITIONAL ARTISTS STILL OPEN - More roles TBA)
Brooke J 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 Brookay! Thank you so much for auditioning for our project, it really means a lot! :D You gave Sibee a really really good shot! She sounds so cute and beautiful. A nice warm tone, good emotional range and intonation, a very well done performance. Honestly, you guys really aren't making it easy for us XD You took the stage directions so well in the hushed whispers and comforting words. A great job indeed, especially the spaced words in line 4 and the desperation to be understood in line 5. A few small nitpicks for improvement - her voice could possibly do with being a little softer on the first two lines with a tad more emotion (your later lines were packed with emotion compared to the earlier ones) and whilst I really loved your little laughs, they make Sibee sound suddenly younger than she actually is. Making them juuust a little softer would fix that, no problem. Those were just nitpicks, but really you did a great job! Thanks so much for your audition and take care Brookay! :D
Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm glad that the voice I had in mind for Sibee appealed to you and your team, and I'm definitely taking note of the laughs and directions for lines one and two! I'm also glad that I was on track with lines four and five for those seemed to be very important moments and...AHH...it just needed to be felt. I wish you guys the best of luck on your project, it looks very promising! <3
You are more than welcome for the feedback! It definitely did appeal to us and thank you so much again :D Yes they are pretty impacting moments haha :) Your good wishes mean a lot, thank you so much and best of luck with your redo! Excited to hear it, but no rush at all~
Hi Brook! 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 : “She had aMAZING inflection. She's right up there for call backs. I agree that she sounded a little young with her laughs. However, I LOVED her tonal inflection with the last line. She brought some stunning chest voice into her tone in the line "or maybe you found yourself in with the wrong crowd." If she could bring that weightiness into the rest of the lines, it would be so good." Hopefully that helped and I hope you have a lovely day! :D
Hi again! Thank you so much for the feedback! I actually found it quite helpful as I was in the process of re-auditioning earlier today and will be applying it later ^^. Definitely taking notes and hopefully the next audition I send will be exactly what you’re looking for!
