[Youtube] Swan Lake
Gagtooth for The Narrator
The one who captures the audience's attention. Pacing should be slow. I'm looking for expressive/emotional delivery. The narration will have this backing track: https://youtu.be/CGamDA2vzls?si=eqHaznyXDicnXCWY
“Swan Lake”. Long ago, there lived an evil sorcerer named Rothbart, who was feared by many. His tyranny did not go unnoticed, for a righteous king rose up to end his evil ways. However, his bravery and courage were in vain… His kingdom was destroyed and reduced to ashes.
Amidst the ruins and rubble, there was only one survivor: Odette, the daughter of the righteous king. The evil sorcerer, charmed by her pure and innocent beauty, sought to claim her as a symbol of his victory.
Only a vow of eternal love, given by one who had never loved before, could break the curse. And if that vow were ever broken, Odette would be doomed to remain a swan forever, bound to Rothbart for all eternity… And so the tale begins... Would it be a story of hope, or one of tragic despair?
Thank you so much for your time auditioning again! I really like the slow pacing of the first section of this audition, it remains consistent. The second half seems like the pacing is going a tad bit fast, but I do enjoy the emotional weight you put in your words, like 'however' and 'tragic despair'. The intonation going down is great, it sounds like you're putting weight into the words. I appreciate that you are willing to try more takes, but I worry about pushing you too much. I would suggest saving your time and energy for re-recording if you get the part as the narrator! Thank you again!
Understood! Thanks again for your notes!
