The Gatsby Project
NotACop for Henry Gatz
Male, late 50's, Midwestern Dialect.
This is Gatsby's father. He only makes an appearance in our story at the very end after Gatsby is killed. I am looking for an Ol' Farmer type for this voice.
(SOMEWHAT DESPONDENT)
He had a big future before him, you know. He was only a
young man but he had a lot of brain power here. If he’d of lived he’d of been a great man. A man like
James J. Hill. He’d of helped build up the country(WITH TEMPERED EXCITEMENT)
He come out to see me two years ago and bought me the
house I live in now. Of course we was broke up when he run
off from home but I see now there was a reason for it. He
knew he had a big future in front of him. And ever since he
made a success he was very generous with me.
You nailed it! Aside from a perfect accent and voice quality, you also have that warmth that is central to the character.
Thank you so much, I appreciate that.
