Met with tragedy in his youth and forced to grow up quickly, King Ladekahn is Diadem's beloved ruler, and Gibari's childhood friend. He is a man of high principle, and his honorable nature nearly costs him his life. Ladekahn is knowledgeable about ancient legends, and readily passes this information to the party when asked. He is also rational and forgiving, showing compassion to Lyude, a former Imperial Soldier who defects during Ladekahn's attempted assassination.
Looking for a regal and (mostly) composed voice, (comparable to Prince Dion from FF16, Prince Dimitri / Prince Diamant from Fire Emblem, or King Rauru from Tears of the Kingdom), that is engaging and good at narration! Less formal around his friend, Gibari.

(facing the Empire, bravely, voice steady) It is I, King Ladekahn! I'm coming out. Hold your fire!! Order your men to pull back, and take me to your Emperor.
(defiant, after being shot, losing his calm) Argh! Damn you! Is this the way of the Empire? The way of your Emperor, Geldoblame?!
(purposeful, summoning his energy) Yes. His ambitions must be foiled! Diadem will be ready to face the Empire if necessary. (when asked to rest) No, I’m fine. (with familiarity) I’m not that fragile. Compared to the injuries of my youth, this is only a scratch. You know that well, don’t you Gibari?
Well shoot, I got one of the lines completely wrong.
I pumped my fist in the air when I heard this audition. Well done! You brought out some excellent acting and regal energy, especially in that third line. Tiny flub in the second line, but no worries, nothing that can't be fixed with another take. My notes are mostly for that first line. He almost sounds too casual, given his current situation. The steady, commanding voice is good, but I would add a bit more urgency and try to sound more solemn. Overall, very good audition!!
Thank you for the feedback. I noticed the flub on line two way too late.
No worries, it happens to the best of us!
