Paul Warren for Leviathan
LEVIATHAN -- Age Unknown but appears as if they are in their early 20's, Gender-Fluid/Not Specific. The third demon prince of Hell, rank 3 out of seven. The demon of Envy. Displaying the characteristics of a fish or a sea serpent, Leviathan draws their power from the sea, from water, or from most liquid forms (blood included in rare instances). Passive and stoic, Leviathan is almost comedically deadpan in how they talk, and is very old-fashioned. They were once the Praetora (servant) of Thomas, but became the Praetora of Finnian in order to save her life.
Vocal Range: Mid to Low Range
Vocal Personality: Very annunciated and well-pronounced in their words, to the point where they sound stiff for a person who like water alot. Speaks in a slight hiss on certain words with a long hold on S's. Doesn't have much emotional inflection in their day-to-day talk and speaks in a very matter-of-fact tone. Very prim and proper, and very arrogant sounding.
Vocal Notes:
Leviathan is a hard one to voice because of how limited their emotional range seems. But don't confuse this for robotic talk! Leviathan expresses emotions, especially during conversations that cause them to reflect on their past. They hold a deep remorse over the past, as you find out Leviathan became Thomas's Praetora as a promise from their last Redemptor, Thomas's mother. They harbor alot of guilt about letting those they were trusted to protect die, so he gets angered when those he cares about are endangered. They also REALLY like water.
[disgusted] "Asmodeus... It certainly has been awhile. If you do not mind though, I will be taking the girl. I have been requested to keep her safe, and I don't need you or the boy interfering with my duties. Please do not make this harder than this needs to be."
[distant] "It is nothing you should feel remorse over, Finnian. It is but a brief moment in the life of an immortal, so we should not dwell on it any longer. Though... You are right. She was a very beautiful soul, and I do miss her."
"Finnian!" [angered] "You... You certainly have the gall to lay your filthy hands on my Redemptor. That... That in itself is a death wish! [demonic tone, more feral in tone] I will tear you apart, angelic vermin! Release her!"
Damn... You sound like Dracula from Netflix's Castlevania series. "...Where is my wife?!" Love your voice and a great performance to match! Wow, everyone here has great voices for Leviathan, then there's me doing a bad Benjamin Diskin impression! ^._.^
Thanks a ton :) I pretty much second Stephicness, the confidence and strength in your take is really solid and imposing. I don't think I'm too familiar with Ben Diskin though, so the jury's out on that lol
Let me slide into them comments and go 'Hey. BD Digging the voice.' Because boy howdy! There's that low and very intense quality with your voice that makes you both charmed and interested in listening to, but you're also like ready to crap your pants because man oh man, you do NOT want to make someone angry. I think that really works with Leviathan, with the low kind of voice that's all, like, 'Test my patience. I dare you.' Great, great, awesome, ah! I'm very impressed by this audition! I will say, the last line, however, lacks that kind of emotional intensity for it, but I feel like might be mostly due to the contradiction in direction versus the heat of the moment. Leviathan's got this kind of depth to him that stems from this idea that he has to save those he is supposed to protect: in this case, his Redemptor Finnian. The fact that someone dared to try bringing harm to her is outrageous to him, something that he'll kill over. It's got this kind of emotional intensity that really makes him scary in that moment, so don't be afraid to shout after Fin because 'FIN! YOU OKAY?' And then get to the low scary voice. Because boy howdy, Leviathan doesn't raise his voice often. But when he does? Again, you better run! ...Also, you should audition for Raphael too. c': I'd love to see you be the scary angel man. Lovely! Keep up the fantastic work, my friend!
Thanks so much! Yeah, I didn't want to go too crazy on the last line because of the composure and elegance that you mentioned, but that makes sense. I was actually thinking of trying for Raphael, so I'll get on that now. I'll also put another take of Leviathan's final line in with that audition, but try and crank it up to 11. Cheers for the feedback :)
I am a fan of this!
Thank you!
