The Last of Us: Notes and Letters VO (PAID)
Astrid for Voice Over Role
Ellie's late, loving mother.
Ellie,
I'm going to share a secret with you, I'm not a big fan of kids and I hate babies. And yet... I'm staring at you and I'm just awestruck.
You're not even a day old and holding you is the most incredible thing I've done in my life - a life that is about to get cut a little short.
Marlene will look after you. There's no one in this world I trust more than her. When the time comes she'll tell you all about me. Don't give her too much of a hard time. Try not to be as stubborn as me.
I'm not going to lie, this is a pretty messed up world. It won't be easy. The thing you always have to remember is that, life is worth living! Find your purpose and fight for it.
I see so much strength in you. I know you'll turn out to be the woman you're meant to be.
Forever... your loving mother
Anna
Make me proud, Ellie!
Great audition! Your vocal quality is clear and strong. If you're willing to do another take, I'd love to hear a couple of things - Don't worry about enunciating too much, just talk how you would to a friend or a family member. Additionally, I'd love to hear some of the sadness brought on by the fact that you're having to say goodbye to the love of your life before she ever even knows you. Finally, I'm hearing some background noise in this take. If you're on a low budget, try recording under a thick blanket! I know it's a lot, thanks for bearing with me!
Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it! I'll happily give it another go and work on improving my audition.
