The Mark Side – Samuel Reed
Job Detail: Samuel Reed is a crucial secondary character in “The Mark Side,” a character-driven spinoff series. The show explores the manipulative and chaotic nature of Mark Reed and its impact on his relationships. Samuel, Mark’s stepfather, plays a pivotal role in this dynamic, as he is portrayed as an unloving and abusive figure. The series is produced as short-form content for platforms like YouTube shorts, Instagram reels, and TikTok, with a lighthearted tone contrasting the main series.
Job Responsibilities:
- Portray Samuel Reed with a distinct voice, emphasizing an angry and menacing tone.
- Bring depth to the character’s abusive behavior towards Mark, balancing verbal and physical abuse.
- Convey Samuel’s contrasting treatment of Mark and Leon, showcasing a genuine love for Leon but an intense hatred towards Mark.
- Capture the character’s short temper and the sense of justification he feels for his actions.
Requirements:
- Gender: Male
- Age: Adult, around 36
- 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.
