Richard Gibson for Cranky Annoying Crow
Cataclysm the Crow’s voice should be exactly the kind of voice you’d expect a snippy, pessimistic crow to have. I want him to sound croaky and cartoonish, and his tone should sound inconvenienced and mocking. I imagine him to sound quite high-pitched and silly, yet raspy and grating and hard to listen to, reflective of his abrasive personality. I imagine his voice to be a mix of the character Mrs Maggie from the game “Oh...Sir!! The Insult Simulator” and Gollum from “The Lord Of The Rings”. Another good reference is "Dongurimaru" from Demon Slayer, however Cataclysm's voice is more peacefully annoyed than shouty and dramatic.
For an image of what Cataclysm 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.

Shameful. Porous wench thou art, Mary! You’ll be sleeping with the termites again. What other rotten thing did you bring into our home today, you pillock? (Page 5)
Hmm!? What? No… No that doesn’t make any sense at all! No, no, no! (Page 8)
Oh, don’t fool yourself, you’ve less between your ears than telephones in my cloaca! (Page 38)
