War fiction narrator: Colonel Hale

War fiction narrator, grave, steady, and haunted

Prompt: A grave, weathered male voice for war fiction. His low baritone is steady and haunted, honoring sacrifice without melodrama, restrained and immersive. There's a we-were-just-boys sorrow in his tone. The sound of a narrator who makes a muddy trench and a letter home carry the weight of a generation.

Script: We were 19, most of us, when they handed us rifles and a country's worth of expectation. Nobody tells you about the quiet before. Worse than the guns, that quiet. All those boys writing letters they suspected were last ones. Danny wrote to his mother about the weather.
