You have an amazing voice! This is fantastic btw.
Thanks, that is very kind of you to say!
Voice Actor
This is the bulk of the lines. The narration is the core of the work, where all the rhythm, meter, and rhyme are on full display.
Voice style: solid male voice, thoughtful, not too slow or fast on delivery, no guttural or raspiness, think of him like an audiobook narrator.
Reference: the voice of John Rhys-Davies as Narrator in Quest for Glory IV.

[Expository, Desolate] An old castle stood on a rocky edge/ Balancing over a chasm’s ledge/ On the brink of a land where green things grow,/ Where mountains rush forth breaths of winter snow./ In these dim days of old this castle stood/ At the end of a trail-less, frightful wood,/ Rebuking passage to faraway lands./ Long ago rain renounced these once-rich plains—/ Only the brambles and castle remained--/ All else withered to a desert of sand.
[Dramatic, Fearful] At once something loosed, some frightening thing/ Turned in Wilhausen, like the ruined bells/ In his bell-tower that refused to ring./ Yet he helped the man down, and with a bow/ Welcomed him to the castle anyhow./
[Wistful, Amazed] The Duke Wilhausen stared, mind open wide,/ Captivated by the traveler’s tale,/ Eyes sparkling with dreams of faraway sails,/ Of faraway ships on faraway tides./ A pulsing energy surged in his veins,/ As if in hearing of what he might deign,/ He could regain a shred of his lost youth.
