New World Adventures (Jamros Recast)
pokmaen for Jamros (city gatekeeper)
I only need the underlined words. These will be the complete part, so if your work is perfect, you're done. No more recording required. If you're not quite perfect, but better than everyone else's, I'll cast you, then tell you what you need to correct, then you're done.
Erdan, emphasis is on the "dan" (like guitar, emphasis is on the "tar"). Also, "dan" should be said "darn" or "dah-n" It's an "ah" sound. (Erdan responds to "Erdarn" and "Erdahn", and both very similar pronunciations are present in the book.)
Pieter, Pie-ter. (It rhymes with "lighter")
Darrak, the "ak" rhymes with "hack" (rhymes with "barracks")
Jamros,
Duncheth’s gatekeeper, was always pleased to see people he recognised. He
strove to remember as many faces as possible.“Alek, Darrak, Erdan,” Jamros’s heavy
armour squeaked as he waved to them, “Congratulations. I see you have an
escort.”“I beg your pardon!” said
Gwenevere. She felt she had dressed quite conservatively.“We are not her escort,” Alek
turned to Gwenevere, “He believes you paid us to escort you on your travels.
‘Tis a very easy and well-paying job, but difficult to obtain.”“Oh,” said Gwenevere, “well if
anyone requires an escort, I am certain we would keep them safe!”“If they only require an escort
for fifteen miles up Windy Hill road,” added Alek, almost sarcastically.Jamros smiled. “Ah, you travel
to visit Pieter?”“How did you…?” Alek caught
himself, “I suppose you know everyone who exists.”“Over two thousand exist in
Duncheth alone. I thank the gods that so few have any desire to leave these
walls or my days would be very busy. I learn what I can.”“Then learn this,” Alek pointed
an open hand at Gwenevere, “This is my wife Gwenevere. She shall be travelling
with us. I can vouch for her character.”“People of any character may
exit,” said Jamros, “and, if they did so willingly, may even return again.”Darrak and Erdan chuckled at
Alek’s error. Alek tried to smile and take it in good humour.“Forgive me Jamros. I forgot
which side of the gate I stand. I mean to say, remember my wife’s face, for she
shall be arriving back with us tomorrow morning.”“Or perhaps late tonight even,”
said Gwenevere.“Sunset, the gate locks, ma’am”
said Jamros, “Sunrise, I return for duty.”“Definitely tomorrow,” Alek
turned to Gwenevere, “Tomorrow without a doubt.”Jamros called “All clear?” to
one of the guards on top of the wall.The guard stood up, searched the
horizon for danger, and then called, “All clear!”Upon hearing this, Jamros ran to
turn a wheel, opening the giant wooden gates to the outside world. By the time
they were out, the gate was already closing.
The audio quality is brilliant, so you'll probably get the role. You said all of the lines brilliantly, except you stumbled on one of them. That wouldn't be an issue at all, had it not been THE ONLY LINE I WANTED. I'm not even mad, this mistake is hilarious and will be an awesome story to tell later. "I asked him to resubmit one line, so he recorded every other line, even other people's lines, perfectly, then stumbled on the line I asked for." Oh man, that's a story for the grand kids right there. Brilliant. Seriously though, resubmit that one line and you've probably got the part.
