Sample script
Chapter one. The morning arrived grey and unremarkable, which was, she thought, the very least it could have done.
How it reads
Audiobook Narrator is the most consistent voice here. Volume, pace and timbre stay flat across thousands of words, which matters far more in long-form than any single expressive flourish. Listeners notice drift; they rarely notice good narration.
Dialogue gets a light character shift rather than a full impression, so a novel with six speakers stays legible without sounding like a one-person radio play.
It also handles the mechanics: chapter headings, numbers, and em-dashes are read as a human narrator would rather than spelled out.

Writing for it
Let sentences run
This voice holds its shape across longer clauses, so full sentences read better than clipped fragments.
Punctuate for the pause
A full stop gives a longer gap than a comma, an ellipsis longer still. Use them to place the beat.
Give it clean space
A smooth voice with little texture needs headroom. Duck the music under it rather than pushing the level.
