Male VA - Role in an Romantic Audio Roleplay/Story Series (SFW++) (n°5)
Khalil Fields for TRAY
Male character in his mid-twenties, funny, charming.
The story is set in the US.
The first scene occurs when Tray is a teenager. Therefore, a youthful voice of around 15/16 years old is needed. He meets a girl for the first time in a park while he is playing on a console, and she approaches him to talk.
In the second scene, after years of searching, you lose her in a crowd. Disheartened, you decide to go home and leave a voice note for your friend who is still waiting for you at the concert.
In the third scene, after discussing the fact that neither of you has kissed anyone in a long time, you decide to test each other's kissing skills. You have dreamed of this moment for years. Be flirtatious, charming, and use a lower tone.
TRAY : Um, sorry... what? -- Listener : I asked what you're playing. -- TRAY : It's just a video game. Do you always talk to people you don't know? -- Listener : Not always. So, which one is it? -- TRAY : Well, I don't think you should talk to strangers. (She takes the Nintendo ) TRAY : Hey! Give me back my console. -- Listener : Come and get it if you want it. -- TRAY : Seriously, give it back, it's not funny anymore. -- Listener : Okay, but you're teaching me how to play. -- TRAY : Fine, I'll teach you, but first you have to give it back. Come on. -- Listener : Okay, here. -- TRAY : Don't ever do that again!
Hey Simon, sorry... um... but I'm heading home. (taking a deep breath) I've lost her again dude, I just don't get it. I think I'm going to lose it. (exhaling) She was at the concert, can you believe it? She was there and we were supposed to join you but it was so crowded and we got separated in the crowd and now I don't know if it's worth waiting outside. I don't know, maybe I'll see her come out after the concert. But there are so many exits, it would take a miracle for her to come out of this one. It's over, man. I think this time I'll never see her again. (sighing) We were this close from kissing, dude. Seriously, why didn't I? I'm such an idiot. And I could see in her eyes that she was dying for it as much as I was. That's the only thing I can hold on to tonight, knowing that maybe she feels the same way I do. Ah, and of course, I didn't think to ask for her number again, I was too caught up in the moment, her scent, her laugh, the way she looked at me, her lips... shit, her lips... fuck! (as if hitting your forehead on the steering wheel) Aarh! Honestly, man, tell me if I'm being pathetic because I’ve only met this girl three times in my life, but I’m a wreck every time I see her, I don't get it. It's like I can't control my emotions and I want to spend all my time with her. Anyway, here's to you guys. Catch you tomorrow I guess. Bye.
TRAY : Okay, so let me get this straight. I help you figure out if you've lost your touch, and you help me in return? -- LISTENER : I think that sums it up. -- TRAY: So we’re just two altruistic people helping each other out, right? -- Listener : That's right. -- TRAY : And we’re talking about a real kiss, aren't we? Not just a peck? -- Listener : The full experience. -- TRAY : Good. If we’re evaluating, might as well do it properly. (kissing sounds for a few seconds)
Hello Khalil, thank you very much for your audition. I really liked your interpretation; I find it very accurate. However, please be mindful to remain still as movement creates a lot of background noise during your performance or when you’re emoting. Could you provide details about the microphone you use, your interface, and how sound is treated in your home studio? Also, feel free to audition for the role of Zachary if you’re interested. Thank you and have a great day!
Thank you so much for this really constructive feedback. I recently moved into a new house and didn't have my equipment set up, so what you hear is an untreated area and the emoting/physicality I like to display when recording. I've since set up my studio complete with a Logitech Blue Yeti microphone, an arm stand, portable absorption booth, and treated walls. I would love to audition for the role of Zachary. Would you be interested in a new take for Troy with my completed set up?
Alright, I understand better now. Yes, please send a new take with your completed setup. For the role of Zachary, you can find the project with an open casting on my profile. Thank you!
