Bone comic dub series: Book 1
Cherrylemondrop97 for Grandma Ben/Rose Harvestar
Grandma Ben is Thorn’s grandmother and a supporting character in the series
The voice I’m looking for is a motherly figure, the kind of person that is able to voice strictness but also be able to sound gentle and kind
At the start of the series, Rose presents herself as being a sweet, energetic, and kind grandmother, however, it’s revealed that she’s been carrying a secret for all these years. In truth, she is the former Queen of the valley who had to go into hiding when the royal kingdom was destroyed during the war and spent the next 15 years living on a farm with her granddaughter. When it appears that another war is going to break out, Rose assembles the guardians of the valley in order to restore the throne and protect the valley from further harm.
As Grandma Ben, she is an old farmer who’s been living in her farmhouse alongside her granddaughter. She comes off as a sweet old lady who always has a kind word to say, greeting the world with a smile. Despite her age, Grandma Ben is very Energetic and vibrant as shown to do daily exercise and is able to handle all of the heavy-lift chores around her farm.
As Rose, we see a more serious side to her. She displays an attitude more fitting for a military sergeant. She isn’t as patient with the antics of others and will immediately snap at them so they will fall in line.
At the core of both personas, however, Rose is fearless, Brave, and compassionate towards people she’s formed close bonds with.
(Disciplined mother telling off son) “Where do you think you are? Safe home at Boneville? It’s about time you realized this isn’t a game, Bone.”
(Screaming). “And I can’t stop her! Death Can’t stop her! WHAT DO YOU WANT BRIAR!?”
(In a happy tone) ”Married? Why would Lucius and I get married? That's ridiculous! Lucius and I never even courted. He was never sweet on me.”
Nice to meet you! In all honesty, I love the accent you gave for Grandma Ben, it really added to her rural background. For the 1st two lines, could you make your voice deeper? This will show the stark difference between her life as a soldier and as a farmer. The Third Line was perfect. You did a splendid job showcasing her as being a sweet old lady! I think your first take was done well and had the response I was looking for. Thank you so much for your interest in this project!
