EP21 December Blues

Hi, everyone! I’m back, and it’s with a super vanilla one for a change! I shall be recording in a garage from now on, and will continue working on improving the sound quality in this new environment. This is the first narrative audio I’ve done where the speaker is quoting a lot of speech in her anecdote. I hope the bits where she’s reporting what she said to her friend are distinct — in the script there are so because of quotation marks, and I should perhaps have added more stuff like ‘and so I said’ for clarity. The parts where she reports what he said to her should be pretty clear because I did my best guy voice, haha. Anyway, I hope it works overall.

I like the slightly silly speaker-character. She’s a good girl, but young and impulsive, and needs to be saved from herself, not left in the clutches of some cad. My voice perhaps makes her sound more confident and mature than the text itself would imply. Just imagine that that’s the woman she will mature into by her late twenties, with a bit of help from a solid friend. 

 Synopsis:

    When another relationship ended, leaving her heartbroken, she reached out for her best friend once again. He always knew what to say and what to do to make her feel better. As she waited for him to show up, she started to realise that maybe she needed a little more from him than just some ice cream and kind words for a change.

Scriptwriter’s remarks:

    The title came to me yesterday evening, and then the story flowed from it. […] Maybe some people will like it, even if maybe it isn’t the type of story some might like.

Extract:

    When I called him and gave a tentative hello, he could hear the desperation in my voice. He could probably hear it in my breathing. This wasn’t the first time I had reached out to him like this. I think he knew the words that were going to come out of my mouth before they were spoken.

    “He broke up with me,” I said, my voice shaking, almost breaking. “Can… can you come over?”
