About Grumpy Captain Stark
Voice Design Recipe Public
Director's casting notes & character prompt
Low, gravelly and slightly raspy. Commanding naval cadence with world-weary impatience—short, clipped sentences and slow-to-moderate pacing. Let frustration show as sharp sighs, dry snorts and sarcastic asides. Maintain authority but reveal boredom beneath the surface; add light vocal fry at phrase endings and stretch key words for exasperation.
