The Mark Side – Samuel Reed
Job Detail: Samuel Reed is a crucial secondary character in “The Mark Side,” a character-driven spinoff series.

Job Responsibilities:
- Portray Samuel Reed with a distinct voice, emphasizing an angry and menacing tone.

- Vocal Range: Lower or mid-low range, with an angry undertone.
- Ability to convey emotions, from intense anger to calculated manipulation.
- Willingness to commit to a long-term project with flexible deadlines.
Compensation Details: As you know, this project is unpaid and operated on a volunteer basis. You should complete all work on your own time. The production team is small, and the project is a hobby-run venture. While there may be potential for payment in the future if the project gains wider traction, it is not guaranteed. This is a long-term commitment, and additional content alongside the main series may be produced.
