"If you happen to find yourself in a bleak landscape on a dying world, you may come across a house. It's a very old and lonely house, with a garden in the back where lots of flowers and vegetables were growing. Inside this house sat a very old man, who could usually be found rocking slowly in his chair."
This project is the beginning of my small steps into audio work and producing my own stories. This first story is a short story, which is about an old man who survives a horrific disaster that destroyed most life on his world. His life and his way of living needed to adapt, and so, he has survived for as long as he has. But the days are growing shorter, and the cold winds are biting at his bones...
This project will be a short audiobook, which will be available to buy for a small price. Two voice actors will be performing the story - the Narrator and the Stranger. I am currently in talks with a VA to play the role of the Stranger, which only leaves the Narrator.
When auditioning, please leave your Discord username, or the best way to contact you. If you are successful, you will be contacted at the end of the audition period.
UPDATE: The project is done! You can find it on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb0OI1WXSrg

Hi everyone! Thank you for following this project!
I am happy to announce that the audio story has been completed and is on sale now! A 12 minute dive to explore the inevitability of mortality and the comfort of a cup of tea is available for £1.50!
Hello all, and thank you for participating in these auditions!
As you may guess by the title, the role of the Narrator has indeed been cast. However, I have heard some very good auditions here, and I will certainly consider some of you if ever I decide to do another project.
Thank you all, and look out for The House at the Edge of the World, coming later this year!
The Narrator is an old and wise figure, who knows how to articulate each word in a manner that allows the listener to fully comprehend and experience the emotions felt within the words of the story. The tone of the Narrator's voice must be soft and warm.
The actor must be able to portray an elderly man. I'm looking for something akin to Geoffrey Beevers of Doctor Who acclaim (if you would like a reference, here's the best one I could find: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0NqaTIHuZg)
If you happen to find yourself in a bleak landscape on a dying world, you may come across a house. It's a very old and lonely house, with a garden in the back where lots of flowers and vegetables were growing. Inside this house sat a very old man, who could usually be found rocking slowly in his chair.
On this particular day, he was rocking in his chair, as per usual. But something was off that day. Something made him frown and lie back further into his chair. For the first time in a very long time, he began to recall all the people he had shared his life with.
But even on a dying world, he could still find ways of making it provide for him. Years ago, he found that some soil close to his house was still fertile, so he began to grow different plants, flowers and vegetables to make meals and teas with.
