Project: 'Sparrow' | Indie Game Casting Call; 1st Round
Juniper Berry for Naoki Otomo | Protagonist
Please refer to the Director's Note in the description.
Naoki is a lively, free-spirited young man. Always willing to help anyone he meets, he is a pillar of hope for those around him. His optimism bleeds into everything he does, never giving in to despair or hopelessness.
A playful and gentle giant, he never takes himself too seriously. But, that playfulness belies a staunch and steadfast ally who is willing to put his life on the line for those he loves.
Naoki's voice is very distinct. Leading with an pattern of speech formed from only ever learning to speak by way of country bumpkins and former street urchins, it's boisterous, endearing, and convivial. His voice is deeper than most boys' his age and strong enough to reach volumes that can cut through stadium crowds. He'll never have to worry about being misheard.
