Sample script
You must understand — the road ahead was never meant to be walked quickly. Only faithfully.
How it reads
The Old Wizard carries genuine age in the timbre: a slight tremor on sustained vowels and a softer attack on consonants. Underneath it, the delivery is grand rather than frail, so proclamations still land.
It switches between kindly and thunderous on punctuation alone, which makes it unusually versatile for a character voice.
Archaic phrasing suits it. Modern slang does not.

Writing for it
Keep lines short
Low voices lose definition in long clauses. Four to eight words a sentence keeps every syllable legible.
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.
