The Purgatorians 'Prequel before the sequel' miniseries
LogicalLunatic for Ronald Anderson
Ronald is a very kind and caring father and husband. He also works very closely with the Overseer, who he considers his best friend. His life is about to fall apart in the worst way possible…
No over dramatic panto acting please. I'm looking for realism.
Accent allowed – American or British – Preferably with as little dialect as possible but not posh.
Age range – 32-40
Ronald needs to portray the most emotional range. He has compassionate scenes, upsetting scenes, fear, anger, love, friendliness. He will go through hell and the voice actor needs to be able to portray this through their voice.
Line 1 - Ronald has just discovered a gruesome scene and has gone to report it to the overseer. This needs some shock, some disbelief, some fear in his voice. Imagine you have just walked in to find someone stabbed to death.
Line 2 - You are breaking the worst news to two people. Their lives will be ended. He doesn't like doing this at all so discomfort in the voice please. Imagine you are breaking the worst news possible to a friend.
Line 3 - The cycle is ending, everyone's dying and your daughter is exactly where the explosives are to destroy the tunnels. This needs panic and terror as Ronald's daughters life is in very serious danger. Imagine your child, or someone else you deeply care about is in a very dangerous and deadly situation. How would you react to this?

There's blood on the walls and in the bathroom... He was slumped down near the... He had been stabbed. Multiple times. He was laying in a pool of blood. It most definitely wasn't an accident. We have a murderer roaming the city.
I have some bad news for you Mr Barker. The council changed their minds on your ruling. You are... (Sorrowful) You are to be executed this evening alongside Mr McDonald.
(Terrified) I'm here honey, I'm reach out your arm and... (Very, very terrified) Oh my God. The explosives. QUICK... (Extremely upset and terrified) SOPHIAAAAA.
I always try to offer feedback to give people the best possible chance of getting a role. I am very surprised not many others do this. Thank you for your kind words.
You sound maybe late teen to mid 20s but Ronald has to be in his thirties I'm afraid. Otherwise he had a daughter before he was 15. Also, audio noise.
Line 1 - He needs more shock. he has just found a murdered body which he is not used to. Couple that with the fact there is a murderer out there and he has a family, he would be very worried too. As it went along, it got more calm.
Line 2 - I liked this one. You could hear the discomfort in his voice. It came across that this wasn't news he wanted to give at all.
Line 3 - Sophia was great but needed a little more urgency. As a whole, the line was too calm. The cycle is ending, the storm playing loudly behind your voice, everyone's dying and your daughter is exactly where the explosives are to destroy the tunnels and they are due to be detonated at any moment.
For line 3, I thought the explosives already detonated, so I aimed for a more "NOOOOOOO!!!!" type of cry instead of a "GET OUT OF THERE!"
Maybe by the time he ends the name Sophia, which is maybe why it needs to be drawn out and in a urgent manner?
I will neither confirm or deny that I blow this child up with explosives :P
