Hi guys. I'm the author of Through Angel's Eyes, a teen fiction novel set during the civil rights era. I'm creating a visual / audio presentation which will be shown at 1000s of school assemblies throughout the US. Here's what I'm looking for:
Through Angel's Eyes is the first person account of Angel Dunbar, a 13 year old Black girl who lives in Harpersville, Alabama. Through Angel's eyes we experience the 1963 civil rights campaign in Birmingham. The story takes the reader on a roller coaster ride as Angel comes to grips with a world of racism and hatred and uncovers the hero inside herself.

I am looking for a voice actor to portray Angel. She is a 13 year old Black girl from Alabama. She is inquisitive, kind-hearted and has, at the start of the novel, an innocence about her that leads her to question the injustice she sees all around. By the end of the book she has developed an inner strength and conviction borne from the bitter experiences of her 13th year of life. She has a Southern Black dialect.
I need 3 scenes recorded - the prologue, a scene where Angel learns that a school friend has been hung and a scene where she faces up to the fire-hoses of the Birmingham Fire Department during the Children's Marches of early May, 1963. This audition is for the first scene.
Audition Deadline is May 13.

Scene Text:
I ain't never been able to figure some folks out. Like last summer, when me an’ Rachel Colter went with her daddy for a trip into the big town. Why, me an’ Rachel were so taken with all the sights an’ noises an’ colors an’ all those folks. Rachel an’ me said we'd be slave girls for a month o’ Sundays jus’ to have one o’ those pretty dresses we seen on those white girls. But, I guess we shouldn'a been thinkin’ like that, 'cause that's what led to the spoilin’ part. An’, anyway, when we told Rachel's daddy ‘bout it on the way home, he said it was feelin’s o’ jealousy like what we had for them dresses that led some bad men to kill the Lord Jesus. I couldn't help thinkin’ that if Jesus’d been a dirt-poor black girl in Alabama, he'd sure like to have a fine white dress, jus’ the same.
