Role assigned to: DaveyKVA

This is a submission, not an audition. If I like your lines, you will be in the book, and you'll get a copy of the book delivered to an address of your choosing. No further recording required.

Full context:

“Draw your sword Gwenevere,” muttered Alek, now holding his crossbow with both hands, “These parts are known for bandits.”
“I cannot wield a sword!” shouted Gwenevere.
“Draw it regardless!”

“I could show ya’ how ta wield it,” said the man holding a dagger to Gwenevere’s throat.
“Hands off her!” Alek was peering down the sights of his crossbow now.
“She ain’t worth it matey. Run a long and tell ’em that Kevar is takin’ care of ‘er now. I know how much you was paid, but he’ll prolly pay us tenfold.”
“Us?” Alek was about to turn around, but it was too late. His crossbow now gone, his fists clenched in fear and rage.
Someone tried to snatch Darrak’s axe from him, but got an open wound instead.
“Drop it dwarf! Or tell ya’ boss ya’ got ‘er killed!”
Darrak looked at Alek. Alek nodded reluctantly. After a pause, Darrak threw down his weapon.
An elbow to the gut and Gwenevere broke free. She ran until she saw the ground ahead catch fire.

“Ya’ surrounded!” said Kevar, another fireball forming above his hand. “Give the girl or ya’ all die!”


Extra comments:
Kevar is cocky. He likes his job, and the thought of things not going exactly his way doesn't even occur to him. I know his lines don't sound that funny, but he still thinks he is. To really get in the zone for this role, think of the most fun and joyful day you've ever had at the expense of someone you've truly hated. That's the frame of mind you need to be in to play as Kevar.

Common error:
Tenfold is said "TENfold" not "tenFOLD". The "ten" is the important part, because it's different than being paid "ninefold" or "elevenfold". The folding bit isn't the important bit of tenfold.

  • “I could show ya’ how ta wield it,”
    “She ain’t worth it matey. Run a long and tell ’em that Kevar is takin’ care of ‘er now. I know how much you was paid, but he’ll prolly pay us tenfold.”

  • “Drop it dwarf! Or tell ya’ boss ya’ got ‘er killed!”"Huh!" (winded from being elbowed in the gut)

  • “Ya’ surrounded!” “Give the girl or ya’ all die!”

Wow, perfect example of "That's not Kevar... but why not?" Have a look at the advice I gave "pinchy17" on the line "I could show you how to wield it". I can't think of anything else I'd change. I've listened to this three times so far, and I've liked it better with every listen. This is going to be a tough choice, and my brain needs a moment to get used to this new voice, as it's definitely very different, but I like it. I like it even more than the audition that won originally.

Also, look at what pinchy17 did with my advice. Takes 1 and 2 were perfect in the latest work.

    Listening to Pinchy as we speak. It's different but also very good. I like it too. Would you like me so change anything other than the first line?

      I'm afraid of answering that question, because if I say "no" then if I give the part to someone else, clearly there was one more change missing and that will make a liar out of me. So instead I'll say, that's the only change that comes to mind when listening to your submission.

        No problem at all. I'll update my submission later on. 😎
