THE IRON ORDER: Fantasy Novel Excerpt Reading
Justice Margowski (Mildhot Sauce) for Narrator
Perhaps unfortunately, there's only one role to be cast for this project...the Narrator. I don't have anything specific in mind as far as age, gender, accent, etc. Mostly, what I'm looking for is someone who has a clear, confident "storyteller" voice. Soothing, but powerful. The reading is pretty brief, but there will be moments of quiet reflection as well as high emotion.
There are lines of dialogue from a few different characters, but I'm not necessarily looking for fully-realized individual voices for those characters. The ultimate goal is for this to sound, not like a radio drama, but more like someone telling a tale by the fireside.
The sound of hammer against anvil rang out. CLANG! It rang out for justice and it rang out for vengeance. CLANG! CLANG!
“The greatest sword ever crafted for human hands,” the smith intoned, his voice a thundering rumble that filled the vast cavern. “The Blackthorn.”
Their fight was long and ferocious. Each of them knew that there would not be another. Their screams and strikes rang out through the day and night.
