Book #1 Audio
Project Overview
I am working on publishing my first book (with hopes of turning it into a movie). I long to have the dialogue available for me to process my book and here the changes that need to happen, rather than always reading it and tearing it apart.
There are several characters needed, but I only have three listed at the moment.

Kamela (Kah-MEL-ah) is in her mid 20s. She works in Colonial Williamsburg as an interpreter (actor). In this story, she is kidnapped by the antagonist, Darius, along with her boyfriend, James. Throughout the story, we learn about what she and James must suffer through and their journey of survival.
Kamela is a tough young woman. Her older brother was in the military, and when he came back from his tour overseas, he was really messed up (having nightmares and getting physical with Kamela) and she was in 11th grade at the time....so she was forced to grow up quickly.
Her mother left her father when she was a young teen, and so she's had to deal with that as well.
She's fiery. She's a sweet, loving creature...but cross her or hurt someone close to her, and she'll snap back at you.
Antagonist is attacking her. She cries out for help.
Help! Help me, please.
Antagonist slaps her. She cries in a softer tone and continues her plea.Please...d-don’t do this.
Antagonist pants dropped to his ankles, followed by his underwear. Kamela closed her eyes and took a deep breath, through her mouth, to keep herself from gagging. Darius put a hand on his hip, waiting for her to begin.
"I am not putting your dick in my mouth. That’s a promise."
Antagonist grabbed his gun and put it to her forehead. Tears welled in Kamela’s eyes.
“I won’t do it,” she whispered.Kamela threatens the antagonist
"Darius, if you lay a hand on him, so help me-”
James is in his mid 20s. He is Kamela's boyfriend who is kidnapped with her. He steps up multiples times to take the beating for her.
James is slightly under-rated, I think because he is soft-spoken and somewhat tight-lipped, and yet, when the situation arises, he is quite noble and heroic, which nobody sees coming. There's not much information about his family or background...other than he and Kamela have been dating for nearly 2 years.
Kamela asks, "Couldn't you sleep?"
"Not really. I was too worried about you. My sleep was filled with nightmares of what happened last night." His eyes swelled with tears.
Antagonist threatens Kamela. He says " I knew I couldn't trust you. "
"It was my idea!" James interjected in defense.
(Same tone) 'Let her go, Darius!"
Begging not to be killed or tortured.
"Please...please, Blade. D-don’t...don’t kill me!"
Darius is our antagonist. He is in his late 50s and speaks well, with somewhat of an English accent...
SO Darius is our psychotic kidnapper, who preys on young women and stalks them...until the time is right, and he kidnaps them. He initially loves on them in an almost believable way- speaking kindly to them and giving them a nice room/bed to sleep in. The only hitch in this believable love is that he rapes them.
After some time, Darius becomes bored with a women, disposes of her, and finds a new target with whom he becomes infatuated.
"No, darling, I am not your little James. My name is Darius" He holds the "s" like a snake.
A series of instructions:
"Do what I say, and he’ll be alright."
“Listen, obey, and the boy will live.”
“Pack your fucking stuff!”
To James, proving that He (Darius) is the better man for Kamela.
“She’s mine now, boy. You can’t do anything about it. Didn’t I hear you say something about protecting her? Doing a pretty piss poor job, don’t you think?”
This is reading all of the explanations and action that goes on from a 3rd person POV. The key point to make about this role is that the narrator is "slow" speaking and precise with each word, as if truly telling the story to an audience. When in moments of intense action, the "reader" may be reading the text faster, and therefore you should be a bit faster. When describing what something looked like, speak as though the reader has never seen this object before.
The movement of the van made her nauseous, but Kamela forced herself not to be sick. When the van came to a stop, the door opened and Darius climbed in the back. He straddled Kamela’s body and sat on top of her. She grunted with the amount of weight that was on top of her abdomen.
Blade grabbed James and held around his neck until James stopped moving. He collapsed and remained still. Fearing that James had been killed, she fought her hardest to get to him. Kamela bit and scratched at the fat man, but did not succeed in getting past him.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a key in the lock of the door. Kamela rolled over and hid behind the bed. The door opened with a creak and slammed shut. Then silence. No footsteps. No breathing. Kamela wanted to see who had come in, but forced herself to remain hidden. Just then, the room filled with a roaring laughter. She turned her head to the left, finding the source of the sound. Darius. Kamela looked over to find him peering at her from the base of the bed.
