A Cold And Heartless Lullaby *PAID* (Sci-fi Audiobook)
JoshDytonVO for Graham
Graham was a naive youth. He figured he was better than everyone else. Smarter, stronger, faster even. Eventually, that mentality got him caught up with the law. Now older, he has abandoned his black acts and lives on his own, letting his whim take him and his newfound love for music wherever it pleases. Bitter relationships in his past have left his palate marred, and he is convinced that he can live without love. Until he meets Jaylen that is. Soon all that matters is his love for Her.
His confidence and suavity only work to inflate his ego while stifling his compassion and sympathy. He is selfish, self-absorbed, and self-reliant. His voice is smooth and confident, his mannerisms seemingly careless. But when a child enters the picture everything changes. He is forced to think about someone other than himself. It is a child he never asked for, and a child he finds it hard to love. Regardless she would change the direction of his life.
~3500 words
(In the middle of a pleasant conversation. Relaxed, confident, casual.)
“Luckily, they don’t have quite enough power to sue me. Waylight knows they have enough money already. (changing subject) you haven’t touched your drink. Is there something wrong with it?”
(In the middle of a conversation that is heating up)
“I am only this way because I made it here on my own. If I depended on my parents to raise me I would have never had the courage to leave the house lest a gust of wind blow me over and shatter me on the sidewalk. Kia doesn't need to be sheltered, I don’t want her to have to face the world by herself as I did.”
(In tears, suffering immense grief)
“It’s just that… every day I’m at work I’m terrified I’ll get home and she’ll be dead too. The doctor doesn't how long she'll last like this. I have her on meds at least half of the day now. (Emotion peaks) I need her now more than ever.”
(Old man now)
(Explaining, tired)
“I don’t know Kia, but life is different now. There's no market, and there are no city streets for them to meet in, there is only survival. It's every man for himself, and I need you to trust me so that I can keep you safe.”
(Screaming in Anger) LOOK HER IN THE EYES ROMAN!
(Whispering a violent threat, still out of breath from combat) I have waited years for her to wake up. I don’t care if I die, but if you kill me you kill her, and I care very much if you kill her...”
I did a singing audition too as I see you said it was encouraged
