The Purgatorians 'Prequel before the sequel' miniseries
AaronVO 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 is now being escorted to his execution. 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.
The Purgatorians not Purgatories lol
Line one needs to be more forceful. Anderson is walking towards the door to leave, not looking back, completely ignoring you. You are trying to get him to turn around as this order for your execution is unfair in your eyes. There needs to be that slight pause before the last Anderson. This is your final attempt to get him to turn around. It needs to be the most forceful of them all.
Line 2 - This only contained worry. There wasn't the slightest amount of hope in this delivery I'm afraid.
Line 3 - Needs to sound a little more realistic. It's close but not quite there yet. You mostly got the tones and delivery correct but it just needs a little more urgency. This is the final chance you will ever get to make them listen to you.
Lol sorry, autocorrect got me without me noticing haha
I appreciate the feedback and direction! I'll take them into consideration and re record the lines and resend them this week.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!! have a happy holidays!!
Thank you. Auditions close on the end of the 30th, just to make you aware.
