HanVA for Finn
Character description
The series starts when Finn is left to die in the middle of a vast forest for unknown reasons. He lost everything - his home, his purpose, his old life, and now he is completely alone, hopeless and lost. He is mentally unstable, doesn't know what's real or not and when he meets Cian he thinks he's just a figment of his own imagination. Finn is a loner / outcast, but deep down he truly wants to have a deeper connection with others. He will have to overcome inner and outer demons alike and work together with his new partner if he is to survive.
Voice
Teen or young adult. Possible interpretation: A bit flat, serious, numb, slightly but not completely emotionless. At the beginning he is having a mental breakdown, he's completely broken on the inside, but he doesn't want anyone to see that. As he opens up to Cian, he'll start being more expressive with his voice. I'd be happy to hear your own interpretation of the character's voice as well.

Instructions
1. Important: By far, the most important part is to sound like a real person, be as natural and realistic as possible. Don't overact and don't be overly dramatic or emotional unless the scene really asks for it. Try to make it sound like it's real, like it's really happening. If the character's voice is similar to your natural speaking voice or if his voice comes naturally to you that's definitely a plus.
2. You don't have to use the same exact words or phrases, I encourage you to change anything if you feel like that would make it flow / sound better, but make sure to try to preserve the original meaning.
3. Please do several takes if possible to show your range.
SCENE 1
[NOTE: He's resting next to a campfire with Cian]
(sincere) I'm sorry.
[NOTE: Cian asks him what for]
(sincere, pensive) Everything. I was just... I'm sorry.
SCENE 2
[NOTE: He's resting next to a campfire with Cian. He's indirectly talking about himself, expressing his self-hatred. Quiet, intimate scene, atmospheric, fire and wind sounds in the background]
(reflective, resigned, numb, quiet but not whispered)
Some people are born wrong. Doesn't matter what they say, what they do, or how much they try. They're just... rotten inside.
SCENE 3
[NOTE: The voices inside his head won't stop. He starts panicking (kind of like a panic attack), breathing faster and faster, he's on the verge of tears, shaky breath, but trying to keep it in, and then he shouts one of the following or a combination between those phrases:]
SHUT UP! [OR] That's enough! [OR] Get away from me! [OR] Go away! [OR] Just leave me alone! (heavy breathing / panting)
SCENE 4
[NOTE: Cian looks at him while he eats]
(friendly, a bit more expressive than before, less numb & flat) Want some? It's pretty good.
SCENE 5
(determined) I’m sure we can do this. We’re going to figure this out together.
SCENE 6
(laughing, wholesome) Yeah, you're right.
Oh yeah my Mic is SAMSON CO1U Pro, it sounds great. If tweaked right.
