Narrators Needed for Children's Show on Radio Fairfax
davidwhitevoice 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. ***
Open to constructive criticism. I too am confused by the Pricing, so I simply put the $5. But it's probably worth it just for some detailed feedback. Thanks in advance!
Sounds a little robotic at first, but get better fast. 'Emeralds' needsenunciation.
Oops, hit 'Add comment' by accident. It sounded a little robotic to me at first, but got better fast. The end of the word 'emeralds' needs to be better enunciated. The pause before "I am the nursery magic fairy" was too long. The way you said the word 'real' in the context of "and I turn them into real" was a weird choice, imho. Otherwise, your emphasis was right on. I can clearly tell you are a professional at this. I know it is not much, but you will receive the $5 reward I am offering for having one of the best auditions. If you would not mind volunteering your voice for a good cause (see the description), we would be happy to have you join our cast as a narrator. It would be a great opportunity for you to try new things.
