Jinxfrost for Asmodeus
ASMODEUS -- Age Unknown, but appears as if he's in his late 40's. Male. A powerful prince of Hell, the demon of Lust, and rank 2 of seven amongst the other princes. He takes on the appearance of a classic demon, with bat-like features and almost vampiric-like abilities and cannot stand the sunlight. He's intense and playful in a malicious kind of way. There's rarely a moment where the smile fades from his face, giving a wickedly eerie air to him. He's very protective of his Redemptor, Kain, claiming its for power, even though Fin notices that it's out of compassion for having helped raise Kain for so long.
Vocal Range: Normal to Lower Pitched
Vocal Personality: He can switch to being friendly to being violent in a heartbeat, but there's always a conniving malice and eerie joy behind what he says. He's rarely seen without a smile or a chipper tone in his voice. But when he doesn't have either, he shows why he's the second most powerful demon to exist, and is perhaps the most terrifying too. He often sounds very flirtatious too when he speaks.
Vocal Notes:
Asmodeus has a kind of charm to him that ultimately makes him someone that Fin confides in, oddly enough. He has a hard time understanding that he's not exactly the evil demon that people make him out to be, and it plays a big role in his development over the story as he finds out more about his missing past and comes to terms that he genuinely cares about his Redemptor, Kain. He's also kind of got this very predatory nature in the way he talks too. Very much like Smaug, if you will!
[eerie sing-songy voice] "Little mouse, come out, come out wherever you are... I can hear your trembling. Sense your fear. Play hide and seek all you like, but sooner or later... Ah ha!" [manic laughter] "There you are, my little treat! Come to me...!"
"There's a reason why I'm as strong as I am, and it's not because of the blood-sucking, child. Humans... They all lust after something. Power, wealth, attention, favor and praise -- there's no limit to the lust that humans succumb to. And with unlimited lust, do you know what that means?" [moans] "Unlimited power!"
[playful melancholy] "There's no hope for us in this never-ending war, you know... No matter how much we struggle, how strong we become, it's but a futile endeavor. Foolish, and without any other result. Why do you think I haven't killed Michael yet?" [pause, but soon chuckles] "You're making me into a more complex enigma than I actually am. But true... I gave up my fight the moment I met him... And I'm alright with that."
Oh POSH! Me thinking it's rude that you're auditioning is like not liking chocolate. Some people might not like it, but that's an absurd thought to me! I'm really happy that you took the chance to audition for this role, because even though you are new, you really did a great job with this audition! In fact, you're among one of the first to kind of nail down this playful personality that's very consistent in Asmodeus's tone -- something that I've noticed alot of people struggle with for the role! He's a character that's easily entertained by things: the thrill of the hunt, the sin that humans revel in, etc. But he's got this emotional depth too that's hard to hit because he usually hides it behind a layer of wit and charm. I think you did a really great job at hitting that, so fantastic work! When it comes to Asmodeus though, he's got a very bold personality with him too. The kind of guy you'd see strutting down the street with such confidence that you feel intimidated by it. And I think that perhaps with some more emotional context and scene developments, you'd do a really good job with exploring him further should we work more together. Auditions are always kind of intimidating, but it'd be easy to break through that awkwardness to really let the character shine, once you get familiar with the essence of the character and the script! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, MY FRIEND! :D And congrats on doing your first auditions!
Thank you so much! It's no small confidence booster to recieve praise (and tips) on one of my first auditions. I'm still a rookie, so I was shocked when I saw your message today. I will admit that it was incredibly daunting to send in the audition, as you mentioned, it was intimidating. If you do decide that I am right for this role, then I truly wish to not disappoint. Though I won't feel bad if you wish to pass me up for somebody with more experience :D
