If Leeches Ate Peaches - one-shot radio drama/podcast
Benowulf for Shrink
Put simply, Shrink is a shrink. We hear them over the phone a couple times to Annabelle, acting as her therapist. It is they who force Annabelle's hand into self-institutionalising, saying they are otherwise unable to keep refilling her medication prescription. They are relatively stern and serious, though easily slips into being patronising. This role can be played male or female.
I imagine them having a very sharp tone, taking no nonsense, and surprisingly unsympathetic.
Voice notes:
Pitch - medium-low

(sternly) I don’t think you’re taking this very seriously.
(stern, low) I’m sending an ambulance. Don’t resist this time.
(patronising, impatient) Look, Annabelle, you’re a highly intelligent and talented young woman but you are also very, very sick. You need to be in a place where you can get better. I think that being under supervised care is exactly what you need right now.
Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you! I think you have a great handle of his tone, which is nice to see, but I think you can afford to take your delivery a little slower - don't always feel the need to rush out the words, particularly on that second line! Overall though, really nice job, thanks so much for your time :)
I appreciate the critique, thank you! Good luck with your project :)
