The Last of Us: Notes and Letters VO (PAID)
Brandon Finney for Voice Over Role
A boy records his thoughts as the world falls apart.
October 4
It's official, school is closed indefinitely. I guess this outbreak is good for something. No school = no homework, which is fine by me. Now what do I do with all this free time?
October 5
Mom and Dad were fighting. They were somehow yelling at each other while whispering at the same time. It sounded like Mom wants to leave - go to her sister's. Dad says it's safe here. That the outbreak won't reach our town.
October 6
Dad yelled at me for listening to the radio. He says that the news is bullshit. Mom agreed with him while putting on a brave face, but I can tell she's scared. They both look scared.
Good work! I can hear the child's hope getting smaller as the days go on. Chilling! If you're willing to do another take, I'd love to hear a version where the child's hope doesn't die out and he must wrestle between what he hears from his parents and his own hope. Lmk if this doesn't make sense!
I get what you're saying, the child is hearing his parents thoughts, worries, etc and he also has his own thoughts about whats going on, and possible not fully realizing what's happening. At least something like that I assume. I can definitely do another take!
Exactly! Can't wait to hear it!
