Voice Direction

Doren should sound steady, grounded, and physically assured. His voice carries natural weight rather than theatrical authority—he is a protector first, not a speaker. Under stress, he becomes more direct and clipped, focusing on action over explanation.

There is a controlled intensity beneath his calm. When pushed into combat or protection mode, his tone should shift into something sharper and more dangerous, but still disciplined rather than chaotic.

Audition Script / Demo Lines

“Stay behind me. I’ve got this.”

“I don’t care what it takes. I’m not letting them through.”

“If you’re going to come for them… you’ll have to go through me first.”
