Hello, thank you in advance for your help! We are currently creating a unit on Sherlock with an escape game for 14-year-old students. We need a male voice to pronounce the following texts in order to incarnate a professor called Arthur Winston. As Sherlock happens in London, it would be so cool if your accent could be British.
Also, is it possible to do a little pause between each paragraph? thank you again
All right, so you have found the letter I wrote to Robert Downey Jr. You did well to come and see me, I think I know how you could go back home.
I did some research and I found four spots that could potentially help you find a portal to bring you back to the future.
First, I thought about Big Ben. Indeed, its giant clock which rings every hour could be very useful for time travel. To briefly describe the monument, it is a clock tower also known as Elizabeth Tower, completed in 1859. It is more than 96 meters high and is considered as one of the most prominent symbols of the United Kingdom. However, it is not open to the public and is kept by armed guards.
The second landmark is the British Museum. This big building is more than a century old as it was established in 1753. It is like a treasure chest holding lots of ancient artifacts like the Rosetta Stone, the Elgin Marbles, and even Egyptian mummies. The museum is split into different parts, like Ancient Egypt and Sudan, Greece and Rome, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. It is not just a museum but also a place where people can study and learn. The best part? You can get in for free and the place is huge so you could easily find somewhere to hide! But there is an issue. Time travel could destroy irreplaceable artifacts and potentially impact your future. Plus, time travel could only be possible at the “imagining the future” exhibition, but you need a ticket for that, and if you’re like me, you probably don’t have money for it.
Next, I picked Trafalgar Square. It is this big public space in Westminster, in front of the National Gallery. You know, this huge open area where people can gather. It commemorates a big battle called the Battle of Trafalgar. That was when the British navy won against France and Spain in 1805. Right in the middle of the square is this tall column called Nelson’s Column. It was built for Admiral Horatio Nelson, who died in that battle. And there is a big fountain too, surrounded by four lion statues. The best thing about Trafalgar Square is that it is really large, so you won’t accidentally break anything. And the fountain? Its water is said to help with energy transfers. The only drawback is that, sometimes, especially during busy hours, it can get very crowded.
Finally, the Tower of London could be a good option. It is a really old castle near the River Thames built in 1066 and founded by William the Conqueror. It’s not just any castle though. Indeed, it used to be a place for imprisonment and execution and still imprisons dangerous gangsters nowadays. Its most iconic feature is the White Tower that can be seen from afar and makes the location very easy to find. Also, a very important thing: The Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom are kept there too! That is why the Tower is highly guarded, and you can’t freely enter. Plus, remember the gangsters I mentioned earlier, they could try to kill you so you should be very cautious.
I hope you’ve got all the information you need. Choose wisely.
