The Purgatorians 'Prequel before the sequel' miniseries
EdmundVA for Tony Barker
Tony has been sentenced to death for trying to survive. He is confused as to why he got such a sentence and fears the day his execution arrives.
Accent required - British, Welsh, Irish, American, Australian - I would prefer none British or American but these are perfectly acceptable.
Age range – 25-40
Tony needs to be able to portray worry, concern, relief, fear.
Line 1 - Tony has just been told he has been given the death sentence, even though his ruling initially was a prison sentence. Imagine the fear going through your mind if this has just been told to you and your fate is imminent.
Line 2 - Tony has just been told that there is a chance the death sentence could be lifted and the prison sentence re-enabled. Imagine how you would feel having the weight of death being lifted from your mind. He still has some worries, but now also hope.
Line 3 - After being given hope to hang on to, Tony has just had it snatched away as he is told the guillotine awaits and is execution shall take place shortly. Imagine the fear that floods your mind should this happen to you. Five minutes ago you were happy with a prison sentence, now death is looming.

(Angry, Scared and Upset) Don't you dare leave us here. You must be able to do something. You can't let them get away with this. Anderson... ANDERSON, ARE YOU LISTENING... ANDERSON!
(Hope) Yeah. Please Ronald, do whatever you can I beg ya. I don't deserve this. Send me back to prison. Anything but death.
(Terrified) No please. Please don't do this. I only wanted to live. I only did what I had to, to survive. Please don't let it end like this.
Line 1 - He has just been given the worst news imaginable. The emotion wasn't there to reflect this.
Line 2 - Sounded like a normal everyday line that does not suit the context of the situation I'm afraid.
Line 3 - You added a slight amount of emotion but he is literally being escorted to his execution. Terror would be running through his mind. He would be trying his hardest to convince the guards to stop this.
I added context in the bio for the lines to help people understand the emotions needed.
