Project Songbird
Lara Barreto for Dakota
Name: Dakota
Age: 28
Lines: ~430
Description
Dakota is the main protagonist of Project Songbird. A modestly successful musician, Dakota decides to move out into the Appalachian wilderness in order to write their newest album amidst a writers block. Dakota is very self-reliant and individualistic, but this can get in the way their desire for acceptance and validation.
Dakota is a character that requires an incredibly talented actor to take on the part, as their voice will be present for a majority of the game. Delivery for Dakota should be very realistic and grounded (think Firewatch) and convey strong emotion with subtlety.
In addition, Dakota is a musician, and taking on this part will require some singing.
Dakota is non-binary, and we are looking to cast someone who identifies as such.

(Fearful) "Jesus, what the hell was that thing down there? Not sure if I want to know."
"Wow, these flowers are gorgeous. If I knew there'd be nature like this, I would've come to West Virginia a hell of a lot sooner."
"You know, I didn’t believe it at first. I didn’t think that you would do it, and you know why? Because I thought I knew you. So many times - so many fucking times-... you said you were fine. “No, I’m okay”, “No, Dakota, I’m just tired.” I just didn’t fucking believe it. I didn't, and I really still don’t. I sat in my room for days, months. I expected you to walk right through the front door... But you never did... All that I did for you... I loved you so fucking much. I worried about you for so long and you barely said a word to me, and then you go and pull some shit like this. You selfish... asshole! You-... I-... I don’t know. At least I got some shitty songs out of it."
I've worked with Lara before, they're great!
