The Song of the Sidhe (Audio play)
Daniel Berry for Gwaine Connelly
The twin brother of Muriel and a druid warrior. He has been searching for his sister for years, since she was stolen from their village after it was raided by De Rege's horde. Unlike his sister, he has no magic. Flirtatious, cocky, and humorous, with a hidden sensitive side. A chronic alcoholic prone to getting into trouble. Deep voice with a soft Irish accent (somewhere between a Limerick and a Wicklow dialect).
Vocal range: baritone to tenor, with some falsetto. Ability to harmonize preferred.
Some vocal inspiration:

[building frustration, to the point of shouting]
No. She is the reason that Aiden is still alive! She's the reason that Roisin can communicate, that bran and Aisling have grown up strong, that you never died out in the snow after drinking too much! Muriel has kept this family going and kept us all alive through every winter, every famine, every single hard day, but you never cared!
[sad, but reverent]
This blade was my father's, I never met him...but mam always said that he was magnificent. He was from the mountains, in the court of the Fae Queen...but he was exiled, for some reason or another...and he had to flee before Muri and I were born.
[soft, regretful]
My mam lived with the druids then...she still taught us the old ways, until she married Cian. I often wonder if I could have had magic too, had she stayed.
