Narrators Needed for Children's Show on Radio Fairfax
jamesonsmith for Narrator
The objective is not to sound like you are reading; you're supposed to be retelling a story. I expect you to edit your work.
Of what use was it to be loved and lose one's beauty and become Real if it all ended like this? And a tear, a real tear, trickled down his little shabby velvet nose and fell to the ground.
And then a strange thing happened. For where the tear had fallen a flower grew out of the ground, a mysterious flower, not at all like any that grew in the garden. It had slender green leaves the colour of emeralds, and in the centre of the leaves a blossom like a golden cup. It was so beautiful that the little Rabbit forgot to cry, and just lay there watching it. And presently the blossom opened, and out of it there stepped a fairy.
She was quite the loveliest fairy in the whole world. Her dress was of pearl and dew-drops, and there were flowers round her neck and in her hair, and her face was like the most perfect flower of all. And she came close to the little Rabbit and gathered him up in her arms and kissed him on his velveteen nose that was all damp from crying.
"Little Rabbit," she said, "don't you know who I am?
"The Rabbit looked up at her, and it seemed to him that he had seen her face before, but he couldn't think where.
"I am the nursery magic Fairy," she said. "I take care of all the playthings that the children have loved. When they are old and worn out and the children don't need them any more, then I come and take them away with me and turn them into Real."
"Wasn't I Real before?" asked the little Rabbit.
"You were Real to the Boy," the Fairy said, "because he loved you. Now you shall be Real to every one."
***If you want my feedback, tell me so in the comments. ***
I've auditioned before and got a lot of really good feedback that helped me find some flaws in my sound system and helped me to know the editing i needed to do. I loved having that feedback and the professionalism of it. Hopefully this does better than the last time. Thank You!!!
It is pretty close to perfect. As far as the audio, there is a tiny bit of echo, but I do not think it is a big deal. To improve that, I suggest recording in a walk in closet or under a sound blanket: https://www.vocalboothtogo.com/product-categoryacoustic-sound-blankets-for-sound-absorption-producers-choice/. I use both at different times. And as for your performance, you need practice; however, that is one of the points of this project and I can coach you by example. If you are interested, you are welcome to join us.
I would love to! I'm slowing improving my recording room, hopefully I can get rid of the echo soon. I'm open to any coaching I can get to improve myself as well. Just let me know! Thanks again!
Here is how I would read this script: https://youtu.be/HpZpkOuvZB4. Please excuse the audio quality - I recorded it w/my iPad for expediency. Hopefully, this helps.
would you like me to record again?
Sure ! Send me an e-mail at [email protected] and we will find a story for you.:)
Oh wait you meant the auditioning script. No, you will learn on the job, lol.:P
