Jack the Ripper: Ghost Tour - part 1

UPDATES: https://www.reddit.com/u/hungbrittwink/s/UwpxOmiNfM

Started off with me testing how much I can do of my ‘Jack the Ripper Ghost Tour guide’ accent (don’t ask why I have developed such a specific accent), I then added in other accents to try and explore and suddenly there was a plot line with individual characters. I play all of the voices and started it without any intention to form a plot line I wanted to explore in ways I didn’t know my imagination was possible.

Take it with a pinch of salt, the people on the tour definitely do. Challenging personalities represent similarities in the Jack the Ripper obsessed tour guide which is welcomed but opens the door to expanding a situation well out of your control. Is he trapped in an endless cycle of being a character for the sake of someone no one ever sees or is this part of normal human need?

This one mainly sets the scene, introduces the plot and characters. Part 2 gets a bit unhinged and the tour guide realises he is a lot more connected to the story than he realises. It is something I really enjoyed allowing myself to explore without restriction, and part 2 really highlights were my imagination is taking the story.

Characters not based on or influenced by ideas/opinions or real people; purely fictional impromptu creation based on what had already happened in the story. Fully improvised - all me and had no idea what was coming next (first time doing something like this). Opinion and criticism welcomed, reaction to art only develop its individual beauty.
