ClearPrussianDubs for Madeline/Goth Madeline
Madeline is a younger girl looking quite young in the size scheme of things. However I see her ( and the dev sees her) as being more towards her 20's than a child, due to what she goes through. I wrestled with the idea to have her and goth Madeline being separate Actresses or not however due to the nature of her origins going ahead with her being played by the one actress seemed to be the right call
Voice: MEDIUM-HIGH to HIGH
Accent: Any ( But cannon is Canadian)
Madeline can seem quite head-strong at first, the first interaction she has with the Old woman coming across as rather hostile and sassing Oshiro lightly, however, she is a kind-hearted girl overall. She struggles with a lot of self-doubt eventually amalgamating in the part of herself being revealed, AKA Goth Madeline. Goth Madeline is the personification of Madeline's self-doubt and anger, so comes across as cruel and hurtful. She starts off coming across as a bully to Madeline speaking condescendingly as that is how Madeline perceives her, however, she truly only wants to keep Madeline safe as anyone's self-doubt does, so a lot of the anger she shows towards Madeline comes from a place of care.
As far as voice differentiation between the two, it's a very hard task. I may use a light filter to separate the two, but ideally, I would like the subtle differences. Primarily in her tone more so than another voice. Try to resist the urge to go for an "edgy" sound entirely more just subtle emotive differences. When Auditioning please do pause in between each line to
LINE 1- ( At the begging of the game, Madeline has a bit of monologue, that could be taken as coming from someone else, but I see it as her in her own thoughts. You can hear in this that she had issues doubting herself before and has a tone of light frustration as if approaching tasks like this has been difficult before. To some degree this the first sign of goth Madeline, just not overtly shown)
This is it Madeline. Just breathe. Why are you so nervous?
Line 2 - ( This is Madeline's first talk with Goth Madeline. G Madeline is in full swing of talking down to Madeline, however, is still showing quite strongly, her insecurities about when Madeline makes comments about her looking creepy. Madeline is concerned here but hold a certain aloofness throughout the conversation. Here is footage of the scene for reference https://youtu.be/Z2tqSQNJxZQ?t=16m57s)
G Madeline- Madeline, darling, slow down
Madeline- Who said that?
G Madeline- Oh, I'm simply a concerned observer
Madeline- Are you...me?
G Madeline- I'm part of you
Madeline- Why would Part of Me look so creepy?
G Madeline- ..... This is just what I look like okay? Deal with it.
( This at a sort of a false ending of the game. Madeline sees letting G Madeline go is the solution to her problem, G Madeline shows wavering at first, noticeably bothered by the idea of Madeline abandoning her. This really shows that this part is truly Madeline's self-doubt. It eventually boils up into a full-on rage from G Madeline. Madeline's believed clarity fading away as G Madeline gets more and more enraged. The scene for reference https://youtu.be/Z2tqSQNJxZQ?t=2h9m49s)
Madeline- We need to talk.
G Madeline- Okay..
Madeline- I finally understand who you are. You're not my true reflection.
G Madeline- I'm not..
Madeline- You're everything I need to leave behind. You're cruel, paranoid controlling..
G Madeline- Why would you say that?
Madeline- No, it's okay! I understand now. I don't need you anymore
G Madeline- So you're just... abandoning me?
Madeline- I'm setting you free. We'll both be so much happier.
G Madeline- You're so..so...so stupid! You think you just leave me behind? You think you can blame everything on me? You think you're ABOVE me!? ANSWER ME!
Madeline- Calm down, please...
G Madeline- CALM DOWN!?!
Madeline- Breathe Madeline..Use the feather(slow deep breaths, that slowly become more shallow as the technique she's using isn't working)
G Madeline- You're going to think about a feather to stop me?! You are not ABOVE ME. And you can't climb this mountain. It's time to accept that.
This was so raw in voice and emotion in the best possible way. Mic quality was a bit iffy but all in all, great!
Thank you so much!
