Choosing a Storytelling & Audiobook Voice
One narrator, many characters
Give the narrator one voice and each character their own, so listeners always know who is speaking.
Pace for listening
Short sentences and pauses read better aloud than on the page. Add <long pause> before a reveal.
Match the mood
A calm, low voice for bedtime stories; a brighter one for adventures and kids' tales.
Native, not translated
Pick a native voice for the language so names, rhythm and idioms sound right.
