Super Paper Mario Intro Dub
Emcee Voices for Count Bleck
The crazed, world-destroying, and tragic "main" antagonist of Super Paper Mario. Count Bleck, formerly known as Blumiere, was a member of the Tribe of Darkness, holders of the Dark Prognosticus, who fell in love with a human girl. Once she was tragically taken from him, Count Bleck's heart became hollow and he sought the destruction of all worlds if his beloved would never be by his side, stealing the Dark Prognosticus and destroying his own world. He will not stop at anything for the Chaos Heart to destroy all worlds and their inhabitants.
I have a very specific voice in mind for Count Bleck. I really liked the voice that Tom Previte from Man on the Internet's Super Paper Mario Musical Bytes gave to the mad count. A voice also similar to the Phantom from Phantom of the Opera would be appropriate because I see a lot of the Phantom's character in Count Bleck. While the lines do indicate that Bleck is a very deranged character, I want the voice to also show his underlining sadness, because he's doing all of this due to the tragic event that befell him so long ago.

“BLEH HEH HEH HEH! BLECK! Yes, all precisely as written in the Dark Prognosticus! Already it is unleashed! The Chaos Heart!”
“Open your mouth, darkness! Consume everything and destroy all worlds, as told in the prophecy! BLECK!”
