Twisted Tales
Theworldwarmaster for Narrator
The narrator is arguably the most important role in this project. The narrator will set the tone and mood, while also acting as the listeners' eyes. They will describe the scene, inner emotions, and physical queues. The current idea is to have a warm and soft voice that emulates someone telling a child a dark bedtime story with a powerful moral. Please feel free to use your own interpreted style and tone.
I'm still open to your unique interpretation, but this is and example of the engaging warmth I'm seeking by default. https://youtu.be/lhx1Cv3wfCY?si=-jzS7VhuiAVZwFDw&t=1207
Tips for narrator based on current auditions: Sloooooow down. Close your eyes, take a breath, and slow it down. There's no time slot here. Pauses and pacing will go a LONG way.
Charlie peered through the small gap in the curtains. It was just past noon, but the sun was nowhere to be found. She felt the heavy pit of anxious fear creeping from her belly up to her throat. She remembered her mother and father, always by her side. They were here now, and for the time, she felt safe once more.
It was dark and cold, but the girl's light remained, deep inside, warming her through this endless night.
She tried to brave through her waking nightmares. Oh, she tried and tried, squeezing her eyes tight and gritting her teeth. A brave girl indeed. The bravest she could be.
Thanks so much for auditioning! I think your audio sounds great! I don't think I have any general feedback for you. Just specific to this project. You opened up with a lovely authentic slate and then went into this monotone, one-note narration. I loved your slate!! I actually think I would have enjoyed your narration with your normal speaking voice :DLastly, I loved that you showed me some range for Derek. I think your biggest flex was your pacing. The pacing was very well done! The first take felt a little young and almost anime-esque (again, just for this project. I don't think that's bad by default at all), but jumping to the next take showed great range.Thanks so much for showing off your interpretations.
Thank you for the feedback, I am glad you like my takes! It means a lot to get feedback so I know what to do for my future auditions!
