Unpaid
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!”

Same auditions batch as last time with the give the girl line re-done. whichever ever way you choose to go, I'd like to sincerely thank you for your critique and direction. It's a rare commodity to find around here, so it is really appreciated.

    I just want you to know, you should wear that silver medal with pride. This was easily a Hollywood quality level audition. Absolutely jawdroppingly brilliant. I wish my other roles got auditions as good as yours. However, there can only be one winner, and it wasn't you. Though it was so damn close. Turning away brilliant auditions like this is actually the most painful part of casting.

      I appreciate the kind words. As I said just receiving some direction here was a reward in itself. Will be most certainly on the look out should you find yourself casting again.

This part is either going to you, or DaveyKVA. When DaveyKVA releases his next submission, I'll probably spend five minutes just listening to both back-to-back to make up my mind. This one is flawless, and I expect his will be flawless too. Not sure who I'll pick, but if I don't pick you, you should wear that silver medal with pride. It was well earned, and it would've been an absolute humbling honour to have either of these submissions in my final project. If DaveyKVA gets hit by a bus while we're waiting for him, you've definitely won. (Though I hope no one gets hit by a bus.)
