Narrators Needed for Children's Show on Radio Fairfax
ymna 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 would love some feedback, thank you ♥ (vocals were cleaned by me, if you want it raw, let me know*)
Hello ynma! I'm assisting Crystal with casting, so I'll be giving you feedback on your audition. You have a lovely voice. I also really like your accent, however I feel it may be interfering with your diction/clarity of each word. It's important that almost every syllable is clear when delivering a children's story... which can be difficult even for native English speakers to master, and can make narration tougher than acting out individual lines. I also feel that you lost some of your emotion in a few places, which can happen easily when you're focusing on trying to read a long line all in one go. You cleaned up the vocals pretty well, and the quality was very good, except for a strange echo that's audible at the end of each of your phrases. You should be able to hear it if you listen to it through headphones. Keep practicing, and experiment with your audio software! Well done, and thank you for auditioning! :)
Ok, thank you very much! I'll work hard to improve those points ^^ :)
You have such a cute voice ! I think in time you will are a good character actor. Feel free to audition again !
Thank you ; u; and ye, I'll make my best to improve what was wrong in the first audition and will try again, thank you for the encouragement!!
