The Shadow-Black Rock Remake
NeilP Voiceover for The Shadow/Lamont Cranston
The voice of The Shadow/Lamont Cranston is a hard one to cast due to the iconic sounds of the original radio show, but give it your best shot! The Shadow and Lamont Cranston are the same person (Think Batman and Bruce Wayne). As Lamont Cranston, he has a very polished, intelligent, suave sound. As The Shadow, he has a deep eerie sound with a frightening laugh that unnerves even the worst of criminals. If you look on YouTube for an episode of the original radio show you can hear what the laugh and voice sounded like as it will be the first thing you hear in each episode. As The Shadow, you don't have to sound exactly like the original version, but maybe give two samples - One close to the original & one as your interpretation of the character. I may add effects to help out the voice of The Shadow.
(As The Shadow) "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows! (Then add a creepy laugh at the end of the line)"Yes go to Burkett, warn him The Shadow is here! Tell him you'll never leave Black Rock alive! Never live to spend the fruits of your crime!" (Laughs)
(As Lamont Cranston) "Yes but I also know that when Burkett planned his getaway he wouldn't have figured on flying across the ocean in a plane with a cruising range of only 600 miles.""I'm afraid I can't tell you right now. But if they work the missing money will be returned to the stockholders and your name will be cleared Mr. Harvey."
(As The Shadow) "(Laughs)Jennet is not dead Burkett. Your bullets in her shoulder... Shock... Hunger... that's all. (Tone changes to deadly serious)Now, what kind of a bargain will you make?"
