Life of Lash - Audio Drama Series (Season 2)
Alichi for Noralai (orc)
CAST ON BEHINDTHEVOICEACTORS
The female lead for the Season 2 premiere. Her values have been twisted after her peaceful orc tribe was slaughtered by humans unprovoked. A skilled warrior and a toughened soul, she is now cold toward most everyone except her husband Etrin. Searching for her long lost son, she becomes furious when she learns he has come to accept and live amongst humans, and that he has gone so far to even change his name to Joshua, as well as marry the human Margaret. Her path is one of violence and vengeance born through sadness and strength forged from her growing hatred toward the world.
I originally had her voice in my head as a mix between Lin Beifong from The Legend of Korra and Reign from Supergirl, but there is no need to stick to that or even to try and emulate it. Whatever voice you feel brings the character and her personality and values to life is something I’m excited to hear!
In terms of scheduling, Noralai will be the female lead in the Season 2 premiere, as well as in Episode 3 of Season 2. If cast, the hope is to have all her lines recorded and submitted by mid-December so I can start editing the episodes together and get it to the soundtrack composer, but realistically only her lines for the season premiere episode actually have to be completed by around then. She will also play a part in the Season 3 premiere that is scheduled for production early next year. While this is the extent of the commitment, she might show up again in later seasons and whoever voices her will be contacted to reprise the role in that instance (though there will be no obligation to do so given that you might be too busy to do so at that point).
(please note the associated image for the character is just a visual example and was not done for this specifically, this is a piece by Luis Gómez Weyler)
“A shame. Out of curiousity, what tribe does this orc named ‘Margaret’ hail from? A strong one, hopefully?”
(shocked in disbelief) “No…” (holding her stomach, keeling as if she’s going to be sick) “Draknar had a child with that…that Dyr woman…this ‘Margaret?!’ Disgusting!”
(explaining her plans for her half-orc grandson to his babysitter/bodyguard after taking them both prisoner and her intent to use them to punish her own son) “Inside the Coffin of The Timeless, one sleeps and doesn’t age. We will place this filthy creature in there for an entire lifetime – Draknar’s lifetime. Draknar will spend his entire life in agony, never knowing what happened to his son, searching for him, even hoping at times for at least something to bury, only to find nothing. Over. And over. Again and again.”
I forgot to add a comment. Yeah so, this was a role I was super unsure about. I was kind of hesitant at first to try but I figured i'd go for it and just do my best. It was really fun. She seems like a strong character in a lot of ways. It's a bit of a divergence from what I'm used to voice acting so I wanted to thank you for the experience to voice such a character.
Alichi, thank you for going for it! You've got a lot of range with your different voice styles -- the fact that you submitted a unique audition for each character in the listing is pretty impressive. You're in the running for each character for sure, good stuff! - Very Respectfully, Nathan Goodall, Volunteer Showrunner LIFE OF LASH
Thanks, I really appreciate it. I take my voice acting seriously but I also have a lot of fun with it and have a passion for improving too. So definitely if I find a character may be a nit different than I'm used to, I think it could be important to at least try my best and often find that even just auditioning for characters out of my element can help me understand a bit better maybe how to go about doing that style in the future.
