Paid Short Audiobook/Script Read
jswayward for Rhalasca'mar/Ras CLOSED
Rhalasca’mar, or Ras, lives in a world where magic users are considered a plague to be wiped out. Ras, unfortunately, made a mistake that ended up costing him his whole life.
Ras found himself turned into a chimera, rather than the human he had once been, and was stuck under the control of the very witch he had sought to kill.
As of the time of this story, he is somewhere between 19 and 23. Officially an age has not been chosen.
He does not have any particularly strong accent nor is his voice extremely deep or raspy.
“Why? I had never done anything to you!”
Notes: This line is intended to be read with anger or frustration. This is Ras demanding answers.
“Your appearance was only a facade. Like the magic which you controlled, your mere presence was enough to draw others to you like insects to a flame. And oh how they praised your very name… almost as if you were a god.”
“My failure was in not preparing Naoli for what might happen. She and Ishlamar assured me you could never come back, and I trusted them, but I should have known better. Trusted myself. Naoli did not know what you could do…”
Notes: The name “Ishlamar” is pronounced as Ish-luh-mar rather than la. Also be careful about the “was in not” portion. This is not a typo. This line is Ras stating that his failure was not preparing Naoli. “In not,” while uncommon, is a proper way to say that.
Hello! Thank you so much for your audition. I really enjoyed listening to this one. You had a very unique take on the character and your delivery of the lines was impressive. In particular, I like the little bit of laughing you added in. I thought that was a wonderful touch. I will be keeping you in mind when it is time to make a decision on who to cast. If I were to give you the role, my only note based upon this small snippet would be to tone down the "I had never done anything to you." Otherwise, fantastic audition. Thank you for your time!
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the read and I appreciate the note. If you decide to proceed, then I'll certainly keep that change in mind. All the best.
