Huynher for James Ironwood
Reference Images: [1]
Description: General James Ironwood is a veteran military man who is a close ally of the Headmaster of Beacon Academy, and commander of possibly the largest airship fleet in the world. He is a man of strong convictions and is not afraid to make tough decisions for the greater good. He often has problems trusting others, preferring to rely on his own judgement when the chips are down.
While a hard and unwavering man, he nonetheless has an aura of warmth and calm leadership. He greatly values decisiveness and loyalty, and values the hard work of others. He is based on the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz.
Voice: James is a strict but approachable man, with a deep voice that is authoritative but not forceful unless he needs to be, able to be commanding but also gentle and kind, especially with the students.
"General James Ironwood. It's good to meet you all for the first time." *short laugh* "Without the gunfire and explosions."
[warm and friendly, greeting and commending the students]
"You've done well, all of you. You stepped up to the plate, and fought bravely. Such values are what keeps us alive - they keep us united."
[making a formal report to the Headmaster]
"Of course. The skies eastward are clear, but my men have reports of high Grimm activity up ahead."
[points to a map]
"I suggest a detour around the mountains... here. We'll lose half a day, but the fleet can spread out and cover the City's blind spots far better."
.[commanding, authoritative, leading a counter-offensive against the enemy]
"Evacuate the students, now! Those of you who wish to fight, with me to the bridge! We cannot let them advance and breach into the city!"
very good performance, your voice is pretty close to canon ironwood GJ.
Hi, thanks for the compliment! Certainly wanted to do Ironwood's voice justice so it means a lot to hear that!
Thanks for the audition. You've captured his friendliness and seriousness well, though I think the voice lacks a certain hardness needed for the General. This sort of voice suits an Ozpin type moreso than an Ironwood, if that makes sense.
Hi SYTO. Funny you say that as I was Ozpin in a smaller project a while back, so did try and draw a few formal mannerisms from that, but I understand what ya mean in regards to hardness. Hopefully I can capture what you're looking for and get the retakes in before the deadline. Thanks!
