Hello! Hope everybody's well,

I'm hoping to look for a female narrator with a soft voice for a mod that I had made for a game. The mod is for Ys Origin, while the original voice was in French, I would want to request for an English narration of its prologue. The prologue in question is no longer than 3 minutes, but the texts that are in need of narration are staggered so it should be relatively shorter.

The project: https://www.reddit.com/r/vitahacks/comments/lf44az/ys_origin_restoration_and_enhancement_mods_repatch/

The prologue: https://youtu.be/EZ5BJ9J03Qc?t=99

"Ys" pronunciation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85l7q_biqf8

The script:
-----
Once upon a time,
lost within the tides of history,
there existed a land of great legend.

It was called "Ys".

It was a paradise,
granted unimaginable glory and prosperity
under the auspices of its twin Goddesses
and its six great Priests.

Therein, the pride of the Goddesses
was an object known as the "Black Pearl,"
through which all the people of the land
received innumerable blessings.

Among these blessings was the power of "magic",
which allowed the enacting of miracles.
And this power was often augmented
by a silver metal called "Cleria".

With the glory of these miracles at their disposal,
the people of Ys believed their radiant prosperity
would shine on forever.

Then one day, disaster struck.

Without warning, hordes of demons appeared.
Ys was under attack.

In the blink of an eye,
the demons had completely overrun the land.
The people were driven to seek shelter in Solomon Shrine,
where the Goddesses dwelled.

Though many feared these the end of times,
the Goddesses and the Six Priests
were able to use the power of the Black Pearl
to raise Solomon Shrine into the heavens,
away from the chaos.

It took little time for the demons to react, however.
A great tower was erected and winged
creatures came soaring through the sky.
The crisis that wrought havoc upon the land
had begun ascending for a second round in the air.

And amidst this hellish turmoil
came a startling discovery that would
rock the very foundation of Ys.

The twin Goddesses,
who had always served as cornerstones of
order, were nowhere to be found.

With the situation looking grim,
the Six Priests decided to take
matters into their own hands.

Choosing from amongst the best of the best,
a search party of knights and sorcerers was formed.

These elite were dispatched back down to the surface
in hopes of finding the missing deities before all was lost...

It would be of great help to the project and community if someone could lend their voice to the project. Thank you so much!

Hi there, I'm no pro but would love to give this a go as I've been very interested in voice acting for a while now. I've recorded you a sample to see if I'd be suitable and would be more than happy to proceed with the full script and higher quality recording if you like it. How/where do I send it through please if you are still looking?
Thank you, MC

So, er, I'd already recorded a copy of this before seeing thefrisbeechick's reply.

Two cakes?

Anyway, there's a link here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l2FZQ_bI47kM0f5AgdiAYK7CmYTxVRRO/view?usp=drivesdk

No worries if you want to go with the first offer.

Cheers.
