Requirements:
You must have a reasonably good microphone, a pop filter, and a suitable place to record. You can find tutorials online on how to use household materials to make a pop filter and a sound-proof room/or box (I use my closet - clothes make for inexpensive insulation). Age is not an issue, but please be responsible.
Brief Intro:
My name is Crystal Genduso and I am the producer of a children's public access program, called Bedtime Story, which was approved to air on RadioFairfax. This is the second time I have created this casting call. We are back because not as many women as we would have liked to have heard from actually auditioned. Sooo, this time, we are offering a jewelry sur-prize (provided by Charmed by Crystal) just for the females in addition to the $5 we are again rewarding to all winners - last time there were at least 20 out of 66 total auditions. Agreeing to volunteer your voice is not required to win; however, that is the hope considering our worthy cause, for which we receive no funding what-so-ever. Thankfully, it provides plenty of practice, tho. And full creative freedom.
About the Show:
Bedtime Story Broadcast was originally conceived of to provide children, particularly ones who are blind, dyslexic, or whose parents are likewise disabled or illiterate, w/a bedtime story, but we believe everyone of all ages will enjoy the show. It features unadulterated fairy/folktales that bear little resemblance to the sanitized Disney versions of today. A narrator reads them aloud to listeners, like an audiobook.
About the Project:
This show is a co-operative effort; each aspect is crowd sourced. The level of involvement is up to the individual. We offer opportunities for: actors, animators, composers, graphic artists, illustrators, musicians, singers, and writers to obtain exposure, in exchange for contributing content. Everything else is in exchange for experience. Note that volunteers need not live anywhere near Virginia.
This is a very valuable investment, which will pay off when people see it on your college application or on your resume. If you are interested in participating in the project, as a one time only content contributor or a continuing collaborator, I can be contacted at [redacted]. Thank you for your time.

The objective is not to sound like you are reading; you're supposed to be retelling a story. I expect you to edit your work.
Of what use was it to be loved and lose one's beauty and become Real if it all ended like this? And a tear, a real tear, trickled down his little shabby velvet nose and fell to the ground. And then a strange thing happened. For where the tear had fallen a flower grew out of the ground, a mysterious flower, not at all like any that grew in the garden. It had slender green leaves the colour of emeralds, and in the centre of the leaves a blossom like a golden cup. It was so beautiful that the little Rabbit forgot to cry, and just lay there watching it. And presently the blossom opened, and out of it there stepped a fairy. |
She was quite the loveliest fairy in the whole world. Her dress was of pearl and dew-drops, and there were flowers round her neck and in her hair, and her face was like the most perfect flower of all. And she came close to the little Rabbit and gathered him up in her arms and kissed him on his velveteen nose that was all damp from crying. "Little Rabbit," she said, "don't you know who I am? "The Rabbit looked up at her, and it seemed to him that he had seen her face before, but he couldn't think where. |
"I am the nursery magic Fairy," she said. "I take care of all the playthings that the children have loved. When they are old and worn out and the children don't need them any more, then I come and take them away with me and turn them into Real." "Wasn't I Real before?" asked the little Rabbit. "You were Real to the Boy," the Fairy said, "because he loved you. Now you shall be Real to every one." ***If you want my feedback, tell me so in the comments. *** |
