Elisabeth Strauss
auditioning for
Maeve Wains
in The Hungry Dark podcast
A British woman in her 20-30s with a low pitched voice swinging between monotone frustration and deep emotion depending on the context. Very passionate, she tries to be as composed as possible, but is ready to give up the act without hesitation when necessary.
(Stern) Greetings, my name is Maeve Wains and I've just bought an ST169 phonograph.
(Angry and hurt) You want me to say it? Well, here you go: I was wrong and I have no idea who he really is! I was deceived! Are you happy now?! Are you?!
(Calm but playful) Who said anything about a bonfire? No, I will simply put the book in the shelf where it belongs and then burn to the ground the whole neighbourhood.
