2. Audition Side

The following Audition side has 3 parts a Narrot, a father, and a son. Have fun and show us different choices for each voice. We are excited to see your personality, sincerity, and ease with an audience.:

The son ran to meet his father, threw his arms around him, and kissed him, saying: 'Father, I have sinned against God and against you; I am no longer fit to be called your son; treat me as one of your paid servants.' But the father called to one of his servants: 'Quick, fetch me my robe, my best one. Put a ring on his finger and shoes on his feet and bring the fatted calf and kill it. And let us have a feast to celebrate the day, for this son of mine was lost and is found.' And the festivities began!
