Worm Full-Cast Production - Arc 4: Shell
NightHawk for Interlude 4.x Narrator One
Worm contains 70+ interludes, each focused on a different character, and each read from a third person perspective. There is no preference for age, gender, or accent. Arc four has two interludes, and as such two narrators will be selected; this is the audition for the first interlude.
Kayden crouched by the crib, her arms folded over the edge, watching her baby’s chest rise and fall. She felt at peace.
