~Rise From The Ashes ~: Artists and Supporting VAs (ADDITIONAL ARTISTS STILL OPEN - More roles TBA)
AC 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 there AC! :D Thank you so much for auditioning for our project, it really means a lot to us, especially from someone with so many recs and clear experience! :D You did a great job with Sibee - some really nice intonation, little laughs here and there and tone. It sounded like you enjoyed yourself whilst recording, which was really lovely to hear. My favourite was the last line, really nice work and a great job done! As for feedback to improve, there are some notable pointers. Your pacing sounded professional, but for Sibee's voice it was a bit too rushed. She speaks slower and certainly softer. The softness and gentleness needs to come through on line 4, as well as taking extra notice of stage directions (ie: more hushed at the beginning of line 2 for example). Just those things really. Sibee speaks a little slower and certainly softer, although your voice carried some great warmth. Those would be my improvements recommended and if I get any feedback from Silver then I'll send it your way too! You're welcome to try a re-take if you wish, if not that's a-okay too! Until then, thank you so much AC and take care for now! :D
Ooh that's some really good feedback, thanks! I'll probably try to reaudition with it in mind if I have time :D
