Twisted Tales
Darien Brown 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.
Darien, the difference is HUGE. This sounds great, my guy. Absolutely amazing in comparison. Turn your headphones all the way up (don't blow your eardrums out) and listen to both if you haven't already. This one sounds so crisp and professional! Well done!
Would you be open to potentially narrating a future episode? I have a pool being made of my favorite narrators so I can come back to this for later episodes. If you'd like to be added, just comment the easiest way to contact you or DM me if you don't want to share that stuff in comments. Thanks!
Sure that sounds great i’ll DM you.
