This project is a Welsh translation of my first audiobook, "The House At The Edge Of The World". I am from Wales myself, but do not speak Welsh, so this translation was done by my good friend, Luis Roberts! To listen to his work, mainly music, please check out his Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/luisrobertsmusic/
This project will be a short audiobook, which will be available for free on YouTube and Payhip. Two voice actors will be performing the story - the Narrator and the Stranger.
When auditioning, please leave your Discord username, or the best way to contact you. If you are successful, you will be contacted at the end of the audition period.

Os dewch chi o hyd i dirwedd ddigalon mewn byd difywyd, efallai fydde chi’n dod ar draws rhyw dŷ. Hen dŷ ymhell o bobman ydy o, efo gardd gefn lle mae'na lawer o flodau a llysiau'n tyfy. Tu mewn y tŷ roedd Hen Ddyn yn eistedd ar gadair ac yn siglo’n araf.
Y diwrnod hwnnw, roedd o'n siglo ar ei gadair fel arfer. Ond yna, daeth rhywbeth anisgwyl, ac rhoddodd hynny achos i'r Hen Ddyn stopio siglo a dechrau wgu. Am y tro gyntaf, dechreuodd i gofio am y pobol pwysig yn ei fywyd.
Ond er ei fod o'n byw mewn byd difywyd, roedd o'n gallu cael hyd i bethbynnag sydd gan y byd ar ôl iddo. Blynyddoedd gynt, fe gafodd hyd i bridd ac oedd o’n ffrwythlon o hyd. Felly, dechreuodd dyfy wahanol fath o blanhygion, blodau a llysiau er mwyn gneud prydau iddo fo ei hun.

Kind, a gentle guide. Understanding of people and their fears towards the inevitable.
The Stranger is a non-binary being, older than the Universe itself.
The actor must be able to portray an ethereal being.
The actor MUST be able to speak and understand fluent Welsh.
“Yn y cwpwrdd uwchben y sinc. Lle ti'n mynu isio eu cadw nhw.”
“Hen ffrind? Pam fy ngalw i hynny?”
“Felly, ti'n gwybod pam dwi wedi cyrraedd. Ti'n gwybod bod gen i anrheg i ti.”
