Hallownest Vocalized | Bringing English VAs to Hollow Knight
Thatticus for 5) Brumm/Nymm
A member of the Grimm Troupe who begins having second thoughts about the continuation of their Ritual. After banishing the Grimm Troupe from Hallownest, he returns to Dirtmouth unmasked and with a new name, Nymm, bringing with him a much more sociable and upbeat personality. Nymm has no memories of his previous life as Brumm.
For Hallownest Vocalized, there are a number of roles which I would like to be as close as possible to the original voice, and Brumm/Nymm is one of those. For your audition, you must accurately translate Brumm/Nymm’s ingame voice and speech patterns into English dialogue, which you can listen to here: Brumm = https://youtu.be/rptxt70AcJg || Nymm = https://youtu.be/WSbm4N3E7e4
Each voice has a slight pitch shift applied to them, so please keep that in mind when deciding if you fit for the role (you may fit the voice without knowing).
Keep in mind, Brumm is not an emotionless character. When he opens up about his true views about the Grimm Troupe, you see his thoughtful and slightly poetic side of himself. So again, keep this in mind when auditioning for Brumm.
When auditioning, you are expected to audition for both Brumm and Nymm, but if you feel you can only do one of their voices, please still audition for both. I may end up casting one person for Brumm, and a different person for Nymm.
Brumm:
The flame. Seek it out. For Master. For our kin. Mrmm.
[Normal, then Thoughful] {context: Brumm is considering betraying his Troupe, and opens up to the Knight} Mrmm. You came. You have gathered the flame and so the time for the ritual's completion is upon us. All you must do now is return to the Master.. Thus it goes, as it ever has. We are like the notes in an old, old song. You and me. Mrmm. And yet... It is not merely by fortune that we meet here, in the darkest, furthest reaches of the world, where my Master's scarlet eyes can not see us. Mrmm. A song that never ends... is no song at all. You take part in the Ritual, yet I sense you truly have no Master. Is it so? Perhaps together we can banish that livid flame and let this dead Kingdom rest in peace. If you wish to silence the endless song... Mrmm, meet me where it began...
Nymm:
[Causal and Content] {context: Nymm is playing music from his accordion in the middle of Dirtmouth while conversing with the Knight} My dear friend, are you enjoying my music? It's as upbeat a tune as I know, but I must admit, even it falls a little on the sadder side. Please know I play it with joy. Being in this town, beside such good company as yourself, I feel remarkably, refreshingly content.
[Delighted] {context: The Knight shows itself wearing Nymm's gift} Ahh. Just marvelous! I'm so glad you'd consider my gift worth wearing, and my, my, it does suit you well.
