Broken Pedestal One-Shot Audio Drama (Sonic the Hedgehog)
JBC for Narrator (male/female)
The Narrator is the most substantial role, having lines through the entire story. There's no preference for traditionally male- or female-sounding voices. Up for any. The Narrator shouldn't sound overly powerful, in that typical 'booming' narrator style. See the narrator example video at the top of this listing for a super general idea of pacing, tone, etc. Do not attempt to imitate precisely. Please make sure you have a decent microphone. No phone mics, headset mics, or computer/laptop mics are allowed. Do not treat/filter your audio. Just submit 1 take per audition line. The radio-style script will be provided to the VA selected.
- Underlined means read the line with more emphasis, possibly a little slower with the emphasis.
- Italics is thoughts. Read in a “thinking” voice.
- (Parenthesis) is a Director’s queue for how the line generally should be read.
- (PAUSE) means give a pause for emphasis before continuing.

It had been a grueling seventy-two hours. Seventy-two long hours. (PAUSE) Three days of unshakeable dread coursing through everyone's veins as the threat of total annihilation loomed over the planet. Riots broke out. People were caught in the crossfire of nihilistic anarchy. Hospitals were stuffed full of people with a myriad of injuries that made a medical textbook look tame in comparison.
Those last three days were the longest days ever spent on Mobius. Even worse than the day Station Square was completely destroyed, nothing more than a watery grave for hundreds of thousands of people. Those were dark days. (PAUSE) These days felt pitch black.
Oh, sure... maybe the scale of destruction wasn't at the forefront of the mind of your average citizen. Station Square was a national disaster, at the hands of an angry, vengeful god looking for solace and penance. (PAUSE) This was worse, because at the heart of it all, it was humanity at its most grim, unable to cope with disaster.
