HFH Character Rework - 1 Role (Paid)
JosephH for Orion The Cleric RECAST
Orion is a character with a very strong presence. He has a very dry wit, doesn't horse around, and is very direct and to the point. However we are slowly moving towards having him sound more "human" as he slowly drops the soldier persona he's had for so long.
37 years old, Veteran of a world ending scenario, enhanced and mutated to better suit himself to fight against monsters and Demons, and having been followed by tragedy across the warzone all his time. You're someone who's tough, strict, but deep down there's still a little humanity there.
The original VA is a good friend of mine back when we started this series as just a throwaway shitpost of a video. We didn't care about mic quality or "acting" we just were doing stuff. But now that we're getting to a point of making a story, I need someone who can cry, shout, and still keep up that wonderful wit and sarcasm my buddy brought to the role. Please go and check out these videos showcasing him as the energy will be important to match:

For the three audition lines, please note the following:
1st line: I want this line very strict, very serious. You've been a soldier for 20 years, faced demons from the Abyss that no regular man could possibly look at, and now you're babysitting a bunch of adventurers with their own issues. It's an adjustment and you're trying to not be too strict, but it keeps bleeding through.
2nd line: More tender and soft, if not a bit melancholic. You're helping heal your love interest, and essentially comforting them through a very horrific injury. I need that melancholy to show concern, that softness for reassurance, but be a little awkward too. Pause, stumble, you don't remember how to be "comforting" but you're trying for the one you love.
3rd line: Rage. Rage. Rage. You're going to be very stoic and casual throughout a lot of your episodes, but for this line I wanna hear some rage. For unspecified reasons (because our viewers have looked at these casting calls for spoilers before lol) you are beyond broken with grief and anger. So give me that anger, give me that PAIN, and yeah.
TL;DR - This character and the actor have been an absolute joy to work with, so I'm trying to find someone who can really pick up the mantel for that.

"Because I said so, there is no way in every goddamn hell I'm agreeing to this. We're tight on money as is and I don't care how "funny" and "absolutely bitching" it'd be, we're not going to an expensive water park. (Pause, then get annoyed as we are now at said park) Goddamn it, fuck me. How did you talk me into this?
"It'll be a big house... In the countryside, with lots of room so everyone can visit. The Twins, Hedge, Rabbit, hell even... Even the others I work with. We'll have... A big fireplace, stone with... Uh... Beautiful carvings on it. Dwarven maybe, and... And the kitchen will be huge, we'll... We'll cook big feasts when we have guests. It'll be great, it'll be... Perfect. Now hold still, you'll be ok, I promise."
(Start with a combat scream, show me that bloodlust, that HATE, then really shout with this next line) "I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL RIP OUT YOUR GODDAMN HEART!" (Give me some heavy breathing, and some grunts like you're swinging a weapon, and then, give me cold anger, don't shout.) -> "Mercy? (Short pause) Mercy is for wounded animals. You're just another parasite."
