[excited] Animated preschool series. Character: Roar, a male lion cub, age 5.
Voice age target: unmistakably very young child. He should sound 5, not 8–10. Small, bright, warm, cub-like, and genuinely little.
Performance:
- loud by default, but still little
- speaks with total sincerity
- emotionally immediate
- excitable, proud, impulsive
- brave before he is actually ready
- expressive in short bursts, not polished speeches
- naturally declarative, but in a small-child way
- no irony, no sar
