Sherlock Holmes Audiobook (A Study in Scarlett)
elpasopictures for John H Watson (Narrator)
The narrator for most of the novel, Watson is a British army doctor who was injured during the Afghan war. Upon his return to England, he becomes Sherlock Holmes’ roommate and companion. As he will be the narrator, I want the best of the best in his performance. Please give him your all! I also want a voice that is easy on the ears, one that would easily be listened to for hours. If I can't stand your voice for a minute, you are not getting the job... Sorry.
So, please avoid high pitched voices.
(Narrating) I had neither kith nor kin in England, and was therefore as free as air—or as free as an income of eleven shillings and sixpence a day will permit
a man to be.(Trying to explain something) “Trying to
solve the problem as to whether it is possible to get comfortable rooms at a reasonable price.”(Narrating) On the very day that I had come to this conclusion, I was standing at the Criterion Bar, when someone tapped me on the shoulder and turning
round I recognized young Stamford, who had been a dresser under me at Bart’s. The sight of a friendly
face in the great wilderness of London is a pleasant thing indeed to a lonely man. In old days Stamfordhad has never been a particular crony of mine, but now hailed him with enthusiasm, and he, in his turn, appeared to be delighted to see me. In the exuberance of my joy, I asked him to lunch with me at the Holborn, and we started off together in a hansom.
