The Purgatorians 'Prequel before the sequel' miniseries
Carson norling 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.
Who is not real? Bob? lol. I listened to that part maybe 20 times trying to work out that word :P
Firstly, I have to say I can hear audio noise that would need completely eliminating. Also, be very careful of dropping whatever you dropped or knocking the microphone as this would require retakes.
Line 1 - Anderson is indeed not listening. In fact he is ignoring you and walking towards the door to leave. As the context for the line in the bio says, Anderson has just been told he is getting the death sentence. Tony would not want it left like this so he needs more of the directions in the line adding. This was far too calm.
Line 2 - Why did he suddenly turn Irish? lol. If you're going to do that AABBCC format is better. Delivery was wrong again unfortunately.
Line 3 - Tony is being escorted to his execution. He would be panicking and pleading loudly while struggling to escape. He would be extremely fearful as this is the very last chance to make them listen to him.
Sorry with the problems you mentioned, I will work to fix them. Do you want the accent? I was trying for it, but I could feel it getting lost on some of the more emotive lines. With some feedback, would you mind giving a second chance?
Not the accent. No offense intended at all I promise, but the Irish accent sounded forced and unnatural.
I welcome all resubmissions as long as they're here before the deadline :D
Will do. I usually have weeks to prep lines for accents, so it's understandable it didn't well in this case. I'll drop the accent and go more for the emotion.
Part of it was my fault. I noticed in the character bios context for the lines section that I only added he was told he was to be executed, not that he was being escorted to it. This has been changed now.
