Corellion - a feature-length sci fi audio drama
Richard Gibson for Jarin Korliss
Korliss is the adopted father of Brody. He is a veteran shipbuilder, and has spent years toiling away working under Coalition control on Ixion. Korliss dreams of freedom and sailing the seas on an actual ship instead of building starships for the Coalition, but he knows better than to voice these opinions. Personality-wise, Korliss is salty as they come. Despite his dreams, he knows his place and has accepted his life. He has all the wisdom of a life-long sailor and the mouth to match it. He's brash, genuine, and full of personality.
Note: Light singing required. (No need for a trained singer. Just need you to be able to carry a tune. He sings a bit of a sea shanty)
Accent: Looking for your typical pirate accent, but open to others if appropriate. References: Long John Silver in Treasure Planet, and Willem Dafoe in The Lighthouse. See below.

(To Brody) Took you in out of the goodness of me heart, I did! Showed ye how to wield a hammer, showed ye the right way to build a ship. Showed ye how to be a man! That’s what I did! And this is the thanks I get...
What were the songs they used to sing, Thomas? The ones in the days when the flame of rebellion burned bright as the dawn, and hope was a thing so close you could reach out and touch it? ...What were the songs? I’ve nearly forgotten them, Thomas.
Shut up, boy!! I said enough!!! Too long I’ve kept silent...Too long I’ve suffered. Aye, Overseer, I confess. It’s me you’re looking for, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit here and let this boy take credit for what actions were mine and mine alone.
