Movie Trailer Voice Over Sample Scripts: Male Lead

Description

Ethan: “An Eephus (eff-us) pitch in baseball is a very low-speed, junk pitch. The delivery from the pitcher has a slow velocity and usually catches the hitter off-guard. The eephus is one of the rarest pitches thrown. It’s like the 95-year-old Kakapo (kah-kuh-poh) that you see once in your life on a trip to New Zealand.”

[Removes gloves and starts to remove shoes.]

Ethan: “I’ve sold everything I have, bought a busted up hippie van and a used frying pan. I’m leaving pro baseball at the height of my career… Because I know there’s more out there for me.”

[Removes shoes and starts to wipe face with clean towel.]

Ethan: “I need to slow things down. You know, just breathe, cruise, journal, rest. Everyone’s moving so fast these days. Wanting me to pitch as fast as possible. I just want to change things up and catch everyone off-guard.”

[Ethan pauses and grabs a baseball from his locker.]

Ethan: “I think I’ve known this for a little while now but now it’s crystal clear to me. [dramatic pause] I’m the Eephus pitch.”
