MLP Fanfiction Audiobook: "Mythic Dawn" by MagnetBolt
Kindom98 for Professor Applebloom
A teacher at the School of Friendship. Strong Southern accent. One appearance during a flashback. Canonical voice reference is here, but as several decades have passed since, you are welcome to use a different pitch.
Context: The lines she's saying are in a one-on-one conversation with Berlioz while she's planting flowers around the school, rather than in a classroom, so while she's still technically lecturing, it's a lot more relaxed tone. I'll fix the description too.
Appears in chapter 4.
[“Why are flowers so weak?” he asked.]
“Not everything has t’ be strong,” Apple Bloom said. “Probably wouldn’t survive in the wild, but it don’t have to. I’m here to tend it.”
“Plants are very sensitive. They can tell if you care about ‘em. A pony who don’t care about a plant an’ wouldn’t give it a name, that’s the same kinda pony that wouldn’t care about a pet or any other creature.”
[“Berlioz couldn’t remember all those names,” Berlioz mumbled.]
“That’s okay! Y’all just gotta remember this one name.” Apple Bloom grinned. “So what’s it gonna be?”
A little bit... awkward, but you've got a solid foundation. If you want to give it another try, feel free.
I would love to give it another go. When you say awkward it sounds more like reciting something rather than someone talking naturally?? I am pretty new to this. I could use any direction you can give me.
A little bit recitationy, but that might actually be on me - I should have pointed out in the character description that the lines she's saying are in a one-on-one conversation with Berlioz while she's planting flowers around the school, rather than in a classroom, so while she's still technically lecturing, it's a lot more relaxed tone. I'll fix the description too.
