The Purgatorians 'Prequel before the sequel' miniseries
NathanC for Ronald Anderson
Ronald is a very kind and caring father and husband. He also works very closely with the Overseer, who he considers his best friend. His life is about to fall apart in the worst way possible…
No over dramatic panto acting please. I'm looking for realism.
Accent allowed – British – Preferably with as little dialect as possible but not posh.
Age range – 32-40
Ronald needs to portray the most emotional range. He has compassionate scenes, upsetting scenes, fear, anger, love, friendliness. He will go through hell and the voice actor needs to be able to portray this through their voice.
Line 1 - Ronald has just discovered a gruesome scene and has gone to report it to the overseer. This needs some shock, some disbelief, some fear in his voice. Imagine you have just walked in to find someone stabbed to death.
Line 2 - You are breaking the worst news to two people. Their lives will be ended. He doesn't like doing this at all so discomfort in the voice please. Imagine you are breaking the worst news possible to a friend.
Line 3 - The cycle is ending, everyone's dying and your daughter is exactly where the explosives are to destroy the tunnels. This needs panic and terror as Ronald's daughters life is in very serious danger. Imagine your child, or someone else you deeply care about is in a very dangerous and deadly situation. How would you react to this?

There's blood on the walls and in the bathroom... He was slumped down near the... He had been stabbed. Multiple times. He was laying in a pool of blood. It most definitely wasn't an accident. We have a murderer roaming the city.
I have some bad news for you Mr Barker. The council changed their minds on your ruling. You are... (Sorrowful) You are to be executed this evening alongside Mr McDonald.
(Terrified) I'm here honey, I'm reach out your arm and... (Very, very terrified) Oh my God. The explosives. QUICK... (Extremely upset and terrified) SOPHIAAAAA.
Line 1 - I liked it. The shakiness of the voice sounded like what he had just discovered hit him mentally. The line had good pauses throughout it.
Line 2 - I liked the fact this had a little bit of authority in his voice yet it sounded like he was very uncomfortable and distressed to submit this information.
Line 3 - The only thing I can pick with this is draw out Sophia a bit, like Sooophiiia. Call out much more urgently as she could be dead at any second and time is of the essence. He needs to get to her like 5 seconds ago. Also bear in mind the winds will be very strong behind your voice. The cycle is in the final stages of ending and the storm is strong.
Hey there,Appreciate you taking the time to give detailed feedback - that's not something I see often at all. Thanks for taking the time to listen, digest and review, top stuff (and great direction as well for future takes).
Best,
Nathan
No problem. I had over 700 submissions for the main show and every single one of them got feedback. I don't have the time to send an apology to each for not being cast though.
I'm very surprised not many project managers do this as I want to give everyone the best chance possible.
