Nevrleye for Chill Scarecrow Dude
Verne is a very relaxed and comforting scarecrow character, and his voice should reflect this. His voice should be peaceful and mellow and positive, like a pillow. As a reference, I’d suggest Bob Ross, though perhaps not quite as deep. Verne could be seen to fit the “stoner” archetype as he engages in smoking a pipe and has a very chilled out and carefree attitude, though he doesn’t use as much slang. His tone is medium-deep, and he should sound either like a young adult or middle-aged, but not elderly or teenage. I’m once again open to him having a British or American accent. For a British accent reference, I’d suggest Guthrie Govan or Steven Wilson.
For an image of what Verne looks like, please refer to the Character Image References document and scroll down.
I have provided audition lines. If you'd like to have the background context to them, please look them up in the Full Script! The page numbers at the end of each line should tell you where in the full script they can be found.

Oh, it’s nothin’ really, I actually quite like hanging out with the breeze and crows. Just the other day, I met a crow that could talk… Though he wasn’t very kind. I think he was afraid of me. I’ve no clue as to why! (Page 14)
Heyyyy, hey now, no anger. No more anger… (Page 14)
(deeply concerned, caring.) Shhhh, It’s alright. Don’t worry about it one bit, just try to stay still. I’ve got you Fable, I got you… (Page 32)
