Old Shag
Neoulton for The Man, Storyteller (30+ years old)
Totally about 570 words.
Adult male who tells the story about what happened to him when he was younger. This is the main character, and he is telling the story as if to a real listener. The character worked on a train, and the ideal voice would be a mature (30s-50s) salt-of-the-earth guy who worked with his hands, might have finished high school but didn't go to college, is smart and maybe wise but not fancy or educated, speaks well, works hard... A good guy.
Accent doesn't matter.
Maybe a guy shouldn't believe everything he hears, but the trouble with some people is that they don't even believe a true story. Let me buy you a beer and tell you about it.
