Steele City Audiobook, #2 The Metal Menagerie
Alleged Amatuer for Ransom Steele the Second
Ransom Steele II is Harriet Steele's father, and a sharp businessman. A sociopath who hides under a charming facade, he's not above hurting innocent people to get what he wants, no matter how small. Current leader of the enormous Steele Industries, manufacturer of top-of-the-line robots. I imagine his voice to be like a used car salesman or a gameshow host, smooth and charming, medium-high pitch. Slightly nasally, but not very.
Please say each line at least twice with different tone and inflection.
(Warmly, welcoming) Young Philo! It's wonderful to see you, young man. And your mechanical friend as well. (Uncomfortably, but still trying to be friendly) Harriet. You're looking lovely, my dear. Secretarial work agrees with you, I see.
(When asked if there is a problem needing to be solved)
(Serious) Indeed there is. Of a most alarming kind.(Cocky, taunting) Well, if it was a test, then you passed with flying colors. We'll be calling on you shortly whenever we have a new case. Give my regards to the boy. He demonstrated startling bravery. The same to my daughter as well.
