Project note

Guided relaxation and close narration

Test this quietly, on the device the listener will actually use.

Volume

Test it where it will be heard.

Use headphones or the speaker your listener will actually have. Keep the room quiet for this pass.

Three very different reads

Atmosphere

Drift is the closest and quietest read here.

Give a paragraph-long instruction more than one sentence.

Atmosphere

Timber is warmer and turns the quiet read toward a story.

Make sure the setting actually calls for the drawl.

0:09

Narrative

Reverend sounds like a sermon. That may fit the script, or be completely wrong.

I would skip it for neutral calm.

Pauses

If the silence feels dead, rewrite the line instead of hiding it under sound.

Save the ID and the device and volume you used for the test.
