KIND: An LGBTQ+ Mythical Noir Audio Drama
GM Hakim - Voice Actor for Giv Hasan
MAIN ROLE
Giv Hasan (he/him) is a 35-year-old nurse working at Higanbana General Hospital. He also works as a part-time live in nurse (or 'Matron', as the Director likes to call him) at the Eden Orphanage, where he resides with his fiercely loyal husband, Sujin Baek.
Giv has a strong sense of justice and altruistic to a fault. He is probably the most mature character at the Eden Orphanage, however when he is with his husband, a youthful and playful side can also come out. Despite his morality, if it means protecting his family, he would go to the extremes to ensure their safety.
AUDITION REQUIREMENTS
We are looking for an appropriately aged voice (upper 20s to 40s) for Giv. He will sound a tad more mature than Sujin. The voice actor for Giv will need to be a strong actor and able to portray a myriad of emotions. There will be dramatic moments where the actor will be required to scream, cry, and portray pain convincingly. Giv is a warm and loving character, but he also has the potential to be strong or (righteously) angry.
There may be non-explicit sexual scenes - so you must be comfortable with voice acting these parts (they will be very brief).
We'd like to see natural and convincing acting rather than exaggerated or cartoonish - so please keep this in mind while auditioning.
We like to collaborate with our actors to bring characters to life - so bring your own interpretation to the role! Including more than one type of voice is encouraged. Any format (ABC, AABBCC, ABCABC etc) is accepted.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Actors must have no background noise and a quality microphone (prosumer preferred - but any good quality microphone is fine!) while recording. Please limit editing your audition to only cuts and minimising noise.
- english
- male adult
- all american accents
- emotional acting
[Tearful. Pleading. Trying to convince himself of Sujin's goodness] You are a good man. You are the best man I know. You are so, so pure of heart. You love immensely and entirely. You gave me a wonderful life. A purpose and a reason. You make me better everyday. You-You don’t kill people, Sujin! How could you? With a heart like that?
[Angry. Scared. Determined] You don’t have anything to say? How many innocent people do you have to kill before you’re satisfied?! Stay there. Don’t come any closer. You’re just a man. Not a beast or a ghoul.
[Amused. Exasperated. Helping a drunk colleague] I think that last sangria was a mistake. No, we're not going for another round. You are going home to sleep this off. Text me when you get there, okay? (Laughs) Turd in the punchbowl? Is that what I am? Well, I think that's probably for the best.
Hi there - you said "The images used for each role have been taken from Pinterest as face claims and are only to be used as a guide to what each character might look like." Just wanted to say, the photo looks like Giv is Black. I am not. If he is intended to be a Black character, then I will have to remove myself from consideration for the role. If he isn't, despite the reference photo, then I'm willing to still be considered.
Hi GM! Thanks for your audition. Giv is supposed to be Persian. Sorry for any confusion. Please let us know if you would like us to continue to consider your audition or withdraw. Thanks!
Thanks for the reply - there are Hasans and Hakims all over the world in different cultures, so I wanted to check. You can still consider me.
We totally understand and appreciate your consideration for proper representation. Thanks for checking in!
