PATIENT 2:
Male Presenting
55-65 Years Old
Open to all ethnicities
We see patient 2 finishing up a conversation with a voice behind him that he believes to be his dentist, but it's actually a talking tooth who is telling him about insurance options for when he retires. The tooth tells him "my work here is done" and leaves, Patient 2 is confused because no one has touched his teeth yet, how could his dentists work be done. Character is mild mannered and ideally with a deeper voice (not too deep, just not higher pitched to distinctly separate it from our Dentist and VO talent voice).

DENTIST:
Male Presenting
45-65 years old
Caucasian
Our dentist is friendly, approachable and of course has good teeth. Our dentist enters the patient room shortly after the "tooth" has left. His patient is bewildered because she thought she was talking to him the whole time.
This roles voice needs to somewhat closely match our "tooth" character's voice as we need to believe our patient could mistake the tooth voice for the dentist. Below is a link to our "Tooth voice" - please check this out before submitting to see if your voice is a decent match.
