Finley Smith | Professional Voice Actor for Commercial & E-Learning

Script:
Before Miss Maggie explained why the other islanders were afraid of me, I'd sometimes wondered why people would shake her by the hand but wave at me instead. I'd always figured it was because I was little, with a name like Crow, and so different from them besides. Like the calico lobsters that turned up in traps very rarely and always with great to-do. As I got older, I realized that there was more to it than that. When I asked Osh about it, he shrugged and talked in circles as if I'd asked why women don't have beards. But then one day, as I came up to the cottage with a pail full of steamers, I overheard him arguing with Miss Maggie and knew it had something to do with me. So I listened, of course. It's foolish, he said, the way they treat her. Like she's made of poison. Yes, it is, Miss Maggie said, her voice as sharp as a razor clam. But it would be better if she understood why. Even so, Osh said, she's still too young. Which sounded odd coming from the man who had taught me to be a hook when I was four. Well, she's going to have to find out sooner or later. Later is fine. I don't think so, Miss Maggie sounded like she was digging in her heels. I don't like not telling her something she has every right to know. At which point, I ducked to the cottage door and asked them what that something was. Osh wouldn't look at me. Miss Maggie said, you shouldn't eavesdrop on other people, Crow. Osh said, this is her house, Maggie. What do I have every right to know, I said. Miss Maggie looked even more serious than usual. Where you came from, she said. Which was a very surprising thing for her to say. You know where I came from? I said in a small voice. No, Osh said, before Miss Maggie could utter another word. We don't.

Script:
Camp was awful. I hated it. I thought it would be better being a junior counselor, but it wasn't. No one I knew from the previous year had come back, so I didn't know anyone. Not a single person. I'm not even sure why, but I started playing this little make-believe game with the girls in the camp. They'd ask me stuff about myself, and I'd make things up. My parents are in Europe, I told them. I live in a huge townhouse on the nicest street in North River Heights. I have a dog named Daisy. Then one day, I blurted out that I had a little brother who was deformed. I have absolutely no idea why I said this. It just seemed like an interesting thing to say. And of course, the reaction I got from the little girls in the bungalow was dramatic. Really? So sorry. That must be tough. Etc. Etc. I regretted saying this the moment it escaped from my lips, of course. I felt like such a fake. If V ever found out, I thought she'd think I was such a weirdo. And I felt like a weirdo. But I have to admit, there was a part of me that felt a little entitled to this lie. I've known Augie since I was six years old. I've watched him grow up. I've played with him. I've watched all six episodes of Star Wars for his sake, so I could talk to him about the aliens and bounty hunters and all that. I'm the one that gave him the astronaut helmet he wouldn't take off for two years. I mean, I've kind of earned the right to think of him as my brother. And the strangest thing is that these lies I told, these fictions, did wonders for my popularity. The other junior counselors heard it from the campers, and they were all over it. Never in my life have I ever been considered one of the popular girls in anything. But that summer in camp, for whatever reason, I was the girl everybody wanted to hang out with.
