- The book will be in French, I will read this one, and also in Spanish, for which I'll do a separate audition
- I'm looking for an accent free, neither US Canadian or UK, the book is for world distribution, and a warm voice.

This book is written as a mystery and losely follows the structure of the heroe's journey. It is written in the first person in the style of a narrative story telling with some dialogue. So emotion and character creations is important.
Intimidated in his family, at school and at work, Guy, the “Silent Good Boy” avoided attracting attention – but his nightmares caught up with him. Scared by his sexuality, alone, he desperately sought love to give meaning to his life. While his passion for the arts sends him to study in Europe, mysterious and unexpected memories emerged...
Through sixty years of incredible adventures spanning three continents, at times humorous, tender and even shocking, Canadian-born artist Guy Giard reveals the secret of how he healed himself from repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse, PTSD, low self-esteem and suicidal ideation. In this page-turner of an autobiography, you’ll be amazed at the extent to which realms as varied as music, art, journaling, humanitarian clowning, and Vipassana meditation restored Mr. Giard’s love and gave him a new purpose in life.
