AI Mafia - Michael Maloney Recasting Auditions
Jason R for Michael Maloney - Main Protagonist
In Depth Character Breakdown - Michael Maloney is a robot, once a man, who is bent on the destruction of all mankind. A vile and dangerous being who won't let anything stand in the way of his plans.
Michael in public puts on a stern and stoic mannerism, he's mysterious and quick to the point. Publicly he's a gang boss, he has to make a lot of deals and with that, is very cunning and resourceful. While a very angry individual deep down, his voice shouldn't always convey this, he talks as if he's always planning something. Michael has been through a lot, he's tough and cold, he has little to no feelings for anyone and does not care about others.
Among his employees Michael is very loud and vocal, always speaking his mind and letting it be known whether he likes something or not.
Michael is also not exactly ageless, Michael is canonically around 55 years old but due to his robot body can essentially no longer die, therefore his voice is permanently more of a middle age, you can try if you are younger of course, but do not give him a really old man voice.
Pay very close attention to his voice claims, think of what he sounds like and how he talks. Go for something similar, again it's not recommended you try out for this if it is too hard for you to replicate. Try to slightly lower the tone.
Important Voice Notes:
- You are free to come up with more voice lines or use others from the voice claim references, this will give me an idea of some other ways you can handle it. More voice lines can also be given to you upon request if you do enjoy the role as well as improvement suggestions before the call is closed
- Do not oversell the character, his anger and frustration is not all that he is, I need his voice to sound natural. What I really want is to hear an attempt at casual conversation
- Give me your BEST evil laughs, this is a very important aspect of his character
- Michael's voice claim is not meant to be an exact copy, play with it more and send the results, it's fine if this requires more takes
[You're doing a deal with a prospective partner, but he/she doesn't seem to realize the place of power you are in. Put them in their place with fear] (Your calm conversation turns into a low growl with growing anger at the person in front of you) I don't know who you think you are... but what I do know - is that you are going to regret ever meeting me if you're not careful.
[You are in your final moments. You're plan has fallen into place perfectly but now someone stands in your way! You will use all your energy to get what you want no matter who stands before you] (Shouting out your joyful, villainous monologue) Fool! You don't understand the vast amount of POWER you are messing with! Nothing will stop me from destroying you and the rest of this pathetic planet until it feels my pain! (evil laugh)
[A partner has wronged you, and it's time to make a deal. But you are definitely hiding your true intentions of tearing apart the miserable worm beneath your feet when your done.] (In a fake, comforting tone) Oh don't worry! I'm a reasonable individual! I'm sure if you... apologized.. and oh I don't know. Added on another 20% of your cut.. We could come to a compromise! And my associate here won't have to - (you're getting impatient, show them that you mean business) - splatter you all over the wall and feed your body parts to the dogs!
