>>67672308It's odd to think that six months or so ago, I shared an audition tweet and here we are having just watched the debuts. I figured as I am the male anon who openly admit he failed, I wanted to share my own thoughts.
>Gale He wasn't as high energy as I had assumed he would be; especially as the application wanted a preppy and positive leader. That said, he had a nice relaxed energy to his presentation and seems fairly safe with his general choices. I can't complain too much as I did admit this was the role I applied for. I am sure he'll be a solid figurehead for FSP going forward. Good luck to him.
>CassianI was expecting way more kayfabe. Like, really deep mythical forest magic and whimsy. Instead we got, erm... Well, he's a required taste for sure. For me, his choice in games is a major filter. I find Overwatch, Valo and such mind-numbingly drab content as chat takes a major backseat for hours. Throw in gacha and I ain't staying. Hopefully the 2.0 is better.
>LucienApplication basically wanted an edgyboi and he gave that performance fairly on. I had hoped with such layers of angst, he'd be heavy on the kayfabe. Sadly he instantly shattered that with model talk and likes list. Really he should be the one portraying the Gale or Cassian model considering the Spanish roots and upbeat voice. Oh and he likes the remakes of Pokémon. Anyone who actively defends Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire has no rights. Has potential if a little miscast for the intended role by FSP. I am sure in due time, he'll reshape it to fit his own long-term vision.
>ZanderI expected charismatic flirt, I got charismatic flirt. He fit the bill perfectly for what was requested of the application form, elevated tenfold by the assets and other misc. elements. I am sure if he remains committed to his goals, he'll grow in popularity. I do think his accent will be hit and miss with some. Nature of the internet after all.
>RoscoApplication was very much looking for a zoomer hyper gamer and again, very much fits the bill for what the company was looking for. His accent with the slang isn't for me, but it's common place in current "youth" culture. I think if he is smart with memes and shorts, he'll be the one to blow up on social media. However that itself is a double edged sword. Zoomers will seek to cancel for anything. I hope you are prepared for that FSP manager and assist talents when the time comes.
>Closing thoughts:I will wish the lads the very best. It's still early days and my general perception based upon a debut can be changed within days, let alone weeks. After all, just look at how much Fulgur, Sonny and others evolved. Seeing how some of you reacted, I'll certainly be a lot more in-depth and thoughtful about what I'd share if given the platform to ever debut too. Direct reactions as seen in my own thoughts along with your own show how impactful small inclusions can be. I will continue my reps to be a better boy.
