~Rise From The Ashes ~: Artists and Supporting VAs (ADDITIONAL ARTISTS STILL OPEN - More roles TBA)
PenWielderMagic Studios for Krissy
Summary: Krissy is a cheerful, bright and determined fifteen year old teen. They're pretty curious, adventurous and get excited by the idea of trying out new things. That being said, they do bear some notable apprehension and doubts under the surface, especially given their lack of memories before their admittance into the 'hospital', but they just take a deep breath and keep fighting on as best as they can. Krissy is a determined goal-getter and always tries to see the best in things, being pretty optimistic and fighting on. ...They like to be pretty creative and love to make art, but complex puzzles and maths are not...quite as fun for them. They can also be a bit stubborn in wanting to do things their way at times (especially for subjects they feel passionate about), but it's all to achieve the best eventual outcome. Unlike a lot of the main cast in the story, they have no powers, so can't help but feel a little intimidated and in awe of those who do have them. They first meet Ash whilst being held captive at the institute and after escaping with him and the others, they loyally stick by his side and seek to work together with the aim to put an end to the illegal and horrifying activities that go on behind the closed doors of Voss's facilities and find out what really happened to them. However, such horrors may extend even further than that...and Krissy can't help but feel a...deeper connection to Ash somehow. ...But why?
Appearance: Arc I (Lead)
Personality: Friendly, Creative, Caring, Optimistic, Bright, Cheerful, Curious, Adventurous, Energetic, Apprehensive and a little Doubtful
Voice: Androgynous and bright, mid-pitch. They should be able to sound optimistic and warm, but also pack some emotion behind the harder lines. Some of their lines will require screaming and near hysterical states. Therefore a good voice range is best if you don't mind doing this.
Note: Krissy is non-binary and is referred to throughout the story with 'They' or 'He' pronouns, as by their preferences. Therefore their role is open to anyone to audition, but we do love diversity amongst our cast and staff and strongly encourage any non-binary VAs to give the role a shot!
[Gasp] …! Y-You…! I...Y-Yes! I heard you! C-Can you hear me? [Clearly relieved] Oh thank God! I was...I-I was afraid I’d just imagined it…[Relieved and grateful] Thank you so much for replying to me. I was actually starting to worry that I uh...might be losing it. Honestly, I really wasn’t expecting a reply, so it was...quite a scare, aheh. Sorry if I scared you too. Anyway...I'm Krissy. I think…[Pause] Well, that's the name engraved on my lucky bracelet, so...yeah, that's what I go by.
[A little awkward and embarrassed] H-Hey, don’t look at me! Numbers aren’t…exactly my strong suit. [Shaking it off to become optimistic]…But come on, we’re not going to let some stupid puzzle just mock us like that, right, Ash? Let’s put our brains together and figure out this code thingie…uh, whatever it might be. [Added on after a pause] Preferably before the guards notice we’re missing…
[A little sad and apprehensive] ...Same really. It’s kinda hard to sleep knowing you could be torn awake at any time. Besides I…[Quietly] I don't want to miss a moment around me. …[Sad sigh] I don't really have many crystal clear memories of anything before...that place...so all of this...it's almost like experiencing it again for the first time to me. [Slightly lamenting] If only I had my sketchbook, I could capture it all on paper...like that cute little firefly there, or the way the moonlight shines on that small lake...
[Hushed and slightly threatening, clearly angry and with the upper hand] ...Now are you going to answer my question, you pathetic idiot? [Satisfied]....Good. Then tell me [Slightly hissed, each word enunciated] Where. Is. He? [Slight scoff] Oh, I think you know exactly who I mean...so tell me where he is right now…[Casually, with threatening undertones] or we can do things the harder way. It’s your choice. I really don’t care. [Determined] But I am getting him out of here and you can do nothing to stop me!
[Gasping in pain, coughing and clearly in agony] Nygaaah! [Panting and coughing] A-Ash…! H-Help... me! ...P-Pain...getting...w-worse…! [Lightly sobbing in confusion and terror] Nnngh....I-I can’t…! I…! I-I…! [Pained sob] H-Help...
[Softly and trying to be comforting] Uhuh. If you think about it, we’re in a similar cycle too, Ashy... sort of. [Attempting to be optimistic] I mean, look how far we’ve come! Even after everything so far…and we’re going to keep on fighting! [Determined] We can do this! Every day may be a battle through the... trauma…[A little shaky and uncertain] a-and I know it’s still probably far from over yet, but …[Deep breath, speaking quite deeply] just like that phoenix, you will rise from the ashes too. You shouldn’t have to constantly live in fear like this. No one labelled 'different’ ever should! [Sincerely, building up] So...dismiss the doubters, pummel the persecutors and come out stronger and brighter than before to show your true and amazing self to the world - because you are amazing...[Emotional, soft and completely genuine] a-and you’re...you’re my amazing friend. [Softest, almost a whisper]...My hero.
Hi Pen! Thank you so much for auditioning for our project, it really means a lot to us! And thank you equally much for your kind and supportive words! We're so happy to provide these opportunities and that you decided to try for Krissy. Hopefully you were able to relate with them on some level. There's sadly a lack of non-binary characters in the media, so we wanted to fix that with Krissy :D as for your audition...I really really liked it :) It was so sweet and lovely and emotional - really well done. The pitch was pretty much on point for what I imagined for them, there was some great enthusiasm and emotion, especially line 3 with how solemn it sounded. Line 4 was nice and ominous and the redone line 5 sounded great with the extra effects you put in to reflect the pain Krissy was enduring at that point. Your tone was warm throughout and the emotion in that final line was so beautiful~ Great crisp audio quality - so really well done - you've got great voice talent my friend :D Just a few nitpicks to improve - line 4 was great but could do with being more hissed, hushed and a little slow to really bring out that ominousness and anger - be careful not to get too much reverb or be too close to the mic during events like line 5 and besides that don't be afraid to go all the way the distance with the emotion. From your voice, you put in a lot of effort and sounded like you were having fun, so that's the main thing! The feedback was just nitpicks to improve, you did a really lovely job! The competition for Krissy is pretty intense rn as you can imagine, but you have a good shot at making it into the top 3! Well done and thank you so much for the kind words and great audition once again! Take care for now Pen! :D
Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm constantly looking to improve and yeah, I really enjoyed voicing Krissy( you could tell??? jk I know) and I was so excited for that opportunity so thank you for having this amazing chance just for me to be better as a VA talent!
Aww you're more than welcome Pen! :D hahaha of course I could tell ;) The energy and enthusiasm is just so lovely to hear and it means a lot that you were excited! :D oh you've definitely got VA talent buddy, practise and experience makes perfect and if this helped in any way then it means a lot :) Anyway, yeah, we have some tough choices to make cutting down to our top 3 but thank you so much! Have a great week and good luck with other auditions you do in the future~ :D
