this might be a strange request, but please just continue reading.
So I have this university project, where I'm creating an animation to a poem (The Darkling Thrush by Thomas Hardy).
This is where I need your help. We are required to insert the poem itself into the animation. As text or as a voice over.
I decided I want a voice over of a soft, calm, maybe deep voice. But I have nobody in my area, who I know and would fit these criteria.
So if anyone of you is interested in giving it a shot, please PM me.
Thanks a lot!
TEASER! 720p for best sounds!
Here is a concept art I made, so you can get a feel of the animation itself:
I leant upon a coppice gate
When Frost was spectre-gray,
And Winter’s dregs made desolate
The weakening eye of day.
The tangled bine-stems scored the sky
Like strings of broken lyres,
And all mankind that haunted nigh
Had sought their household fires.
The land’s sharp features seemed to be
The Century’s corpse outleant,
His crypt the cloudy canopy,
The wind his death-lament.
The ancient pulse of germ and birth
Was shrunken hard and dry,
And every spirit upon earth
Seemed fervourless as I.
At once a voice arose among
The bleak twigs overhead
In a full-hearted evensong
Of joy illimited ;
An aged thrush, frail, gaunt, and small,
In blast-beruffled plume,
Had chosen thus to fling his soul
Upon the growing gloom.
So little cause for carolings
Of such ecstatic sound
Was written on terrestrial things
Afar or nigh around,
That I could think there trembled through
His happy good-night air
Some blessed Hope, whereof he knew
And I was unaware.
