Sample script
But of course it is expensive. It is beautiful, it is rare, and you have been looking at it for twenty minutes.
How it reads
Parisian speaks English through French phonology: the H drops, the R moves to the back of the throat, and stress lands on the last syllable of a phrase rather than the first.
The pacing is noticeably slower and more even than native English, which reads as elegant on brand copy and flirtatious on dialogue.
It pronounces French loanwords properly, so anything food, fashion or beauty related is handled correctly.

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.
