New World Adventures EMERGENCY RECAST!
harbinger for Kevar
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:
“I could show ya’ how ta wield it,” said the man holding a dagger to Gwenevere’s throat.
“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!”
I've been telling a lot of people this, and it's my own fault for not making things clear, but this is supposed to be a high energy scene. If your heart isn't beating fast while you're recording, you're recording it wrong. Your intonation is perfect. It really shows you understand the script. Your voice fits, and is a perfectly acceptable voice for Kevar to have. It's going to be really tough getting this part, as there are some amazing talent out there, but if you were the only audition and there were no one else to choose from, I'd say, "Get your heart rate up and record again. Kevar is shitting himself with fear, but trying not to show it. He's pretending it's not really fear. He's pretending to be excited instead." then I'd happily give you the role once that was corrected.
