The Yellow Wallpaper - Audiobook
Derrick Álvarez for John
The narrator’s husband and her physician. John restricts her behavior as part of her treatment. Unlike his imaginative wife, John is extremely practical, preferring facts and figures to “fancy,” at which he “scoffs openly.” He seems to love his wife, but he does not understand the negative effect his treatment has on her.
For the voice, I'm looking for a generic adult male voice. Something stern and serious, but not too harsh. My only strict requirements is that the audio is clear with no background noise. Feel free to test around different voices in the audition if you're not sure, and I'm happy to workshop a little with the person chosen if you want further direction.
AABBCC or ABCABC formatting okay for the audition - whichever you prefer!
It's a relatively short role, and I'll provide the full text, the specific dialogue lines needing recording, a summary of the story, and a summary of the character to the person casted. I've listed the pay as $20 - and there is roughly 2 minutes of dialogue needed for this character, but I'm happy to negotiate on pay once casted.

Your exercise depends on your strength, my dear, and your food somewhat on your appetite; but air you can absorb all the time.
You know the place is doing you good, and really, dear, I don’t care to renovate the house just for a three months’ rental.
What is it, little girl? Don’t go walking about like that—you’ll get cold.
