Write for the ear
Short sentences. One idea each. Read it out loud; if you stumble, rewrite it.
Choose the voice by the job
Narration wants warm and measured, ads want bright and confident, trailers want deep and slow. Preview a few in the Audio studio before you decide.
Shape it with settings
Slow the speed slightly for documentaries, lift the pitch a touch for upbeat promos, and use mood rather than punctuation for energy.
