The Long Game — voice auditions

Per character: the voice actually in the film (sliced from an approved take — it reads a film line, not the audition line), custom voices designed by prompting ElevenLabs (the prompt is shown; A/B/C are the three previews one prompt returns), then three catalog candidates.

Cass, 17

“Easy is boring. Put me on hard mode.”

The film's actual voice

Prompted custom (three previews)

“A seventeen-year-old American boy with a flat, LOW, bone-dry monotone. Bored and unimpressed, minimal energy, slight vocal fry, medium-low pitch — his voice finished changing years ago. Clean close-mic studio recording.”

Cass, 45

“Take this down, Tertius. Sulfuric acid... will damage your skin.”

The film's actual voice

Prompted custom

George

Daniel

Deshawn

“Ohhh — Cass wants the SMOKE!”

The film's actual voice

Prompted custom (three previews)

“A tall seventeen-year-old with a surprisingly deep, resonant voice for his age — rich, loud, warm, playful trash-talk swagger, laughs easily. NOT childlike; a young man's voice, not a kid's. Clean close-mic studio recording.”

Charlie

Milo

“You were in for ninety seconds.”

The film's actual voice

Prompted custom (three previews)

“A young man with a light, quick, precise tenor voice: clipped diction, fast tempo, faintly amused deadpan, wiry kid-genius energy, narrates everyone's mistakes. Noticeably lighter and faster than his friends. Clean close-mic studio recording.”

August

Will

Mom (bronze age)

“Bren — Isa has the flux again. You need to go fetch more water.”

The film's actual voice

Prompted custom

“A weathered, brisk, no-nonsense mother in her forties from an ancient farming village, warm underneath, tired, commanding.”

Matilda

Lily

Bella

Peter

“It's a booth you SIT in, uncle — you live a whole LIFE in an hour!”

The film's actual voice

Prompted custom (three previews)

“A bright, eager English man in his mid-twenties, nineteen-twenties RP. Energetic and earnest but GROUNDED: solid chest voice, natural conversational rhythm, absolutely not breathy, not airy, not sing-song. Speeds up when excited. Clean close-mic studio recording.”
