Narrators needed for audio tour
LTK6307574654X
Our company is looking for four narrators - one younger woman, one younger man, one older woman, one older man - for an upcoming tour.
This is for a museum audio tour. The read consists of letters from American/New England artists working in Paris at the end of the 19th century. Narrators will read primary source material.
We are looking for narrators who can do a slight bit of a New England accent, but we are not looking for an overly-dramatic read.
Please see sample script below. Our budget $250-499 Aug 01, 2006 21:44:50 (GMT -05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada) Aug 08, 2006 00:00:00 (GMT -05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada) No (click here to learn more about

CHARACTER VOICE
OLDER WOMAN
Cassatt 1913 (age 69) from an interview with the artist:
…Shortly before the war, that is, around 1868, I decided to become a painter. This also meant that I was deciding to leave for Europe. At the Academy School in Philadelphia one drew, after a fashion, from ancient copies and old plaster casts. There was no teaching. In any case, I believe that painting cannot be taught, and that it is not necessary to study with a master. Museums are all the teachers one needs.
Beaux 1933 (age 75)
The immense value, to the stude, in Paris, lies in the place itself…Everything is there. It is his own fault if he does not perceive…Spring in Paris; I ask only for language equivalent to one aspect of this miracle…The lilacs, rhododendrons, acacias, wre all out, perhaps lilies-of-the-valley. There had been a light shower. The exhalation reached my keen senses by way of Paris street and boulevard, yet unsullied, pristine, tender. How could it be? The answer is “Spring in Paris.” What else?
YOUNG WOMAN
Cassat 1872 (age 28) from a letter she wrote to friends from Spain:
My Dear Friends,
I am writing this in Mrs. Birneys room at the Hotel de Paris, I have moved, have fund a much cheaper hotel, kept by an Italian…I am making a sketch from the Velasquez at the gallery, and I am quite if not more enthusiastic than before. I sincerely think it is the most wonderful painting that ever was seen, this of the Spanish school….Now my dear friends both of you please do come, come and I will wait for you here and we will go to Seville together and I will return to Italy with you in March. Don’t mind about clothes or anything, for the people here are little more than barbarians.
YOUNG MAN
Eakins 1866 (age 22) in a letter to his mother:
Dear Mother,
I have been in Paris now nearly a week and as I have been going nearly all the time, I am getting well acquainted with it. They say that Boston has crooked street, but I guess the Paris ones are worse…The buildings of Paris are beautiful beyond description. Although I expected so much they have far exceeded those expectations. Paris is a city of palaces. To beautify things the sun came out yesterday and all that day and all today there has not been a cloud.
Alexander 1892 (age 35)
I am working here as I have never worked before….[In Paris everything] is in a higher place than in New York and the city is a constant delight to us…New York is a village beside it and an hour here is worth years there. People here know so much more.”
