Biography narrator: Axel

Biography narrator, warm, dignified, and engaging

Prompt: A warm, authoritative male voice for biographies of leaders and statesmen. His resonant baritone is dignified and engaging, humanizing the monumental, credible and immersive. There's a behind-the-legend-was-a-frightened-mortal insight in his tone. The sound of a narrator who makes a towering figure step down off the pedestal and breathe.

Script: We remember him now as inevitable, as though greatness had been stamped on him at birth. It had not. The young man who arrived in the capital that winter was awkward, poor, and painfully aware of both; prone to black moods, mocked for his voice, and his clothes, and his backwoods manners.
