Narrators Needed for Children's Show on Radio Fairfax
misfitme for Narrator
The objective is not to sound like you are reading; you're supposed to be retelling a story. I expect you to edit your work.
Of what use was it to be loved and lose one's beauty and become Real if it all ended like this? And a tear, a real tear, trickled down his little shabby velvet nose and fell to the ground.
And then a strange thing happened. For where the tear had fallen a flower grew out of the ground, a mysterious flower, not at all like any that grew in the garden. It had slender green leaves the colour of emeralds, and in the centre of the leaves a blossom like a golden cup. It was so beautiful that the little Rabbit forgot to cry, and just lay there watching it. And presently the blossom opened, and out of it there stepped a fairy.
She was quite the loveliest fairy in the whole world. Her dress was of pearl and dew-drops, and there were flowers round her neck and in her hair, and her face was like the most perfect flower of all. And she came close to the little Rabbit and gathered him up in her arms and kissed him on his velveteen nose that was all damp from crying.
"Little Rabbit," she said, "don't you know who I am?
"The Rabbit looked up at her, and it seemed to him that he had seen her face before, but he couldn't think where.
"I am the nursery magic Fairy," she said. "I take care of all the playthings that the children have loved. When they are old and worn out and the children don't need them any more, then I come and take them away with me and turn them into Real."
"Wasn't I Real before?" asked the little Rabbit.
"You were Real to the Boy," the Fairy said, "because he loved you. Now you shall be Real to every one."
***If you want my feedback, tell me so in the comments. ***
I greatly support what you are doing and would love an opportunity to be a part of the program. I welcome any feedback. Thank you.
I appreciate your support :). There is an echo throughout and I am not sure what is causing it, but you should try to get to the bottom of it. The words you choose to emphasize is hit or miss and overall your reading lacks energy. You had some trouble w/enunciating the word 'little' in the context of "And she come close to the little rabbit". The other times it came out just fine. I have still have the same issue myself, on occassion, but I am getting into the habit of saying it like I am sounding it out. All of these things can learned and if you can just fix the echo, we would be happy to have you participate in the project.
Thank you :) I will work on the echo mystery and add some energy to my narration and send a new demo.
Okie, good luck !!
