Voice Brief
We read the manuscript and define the voice: age and texture, regional placement, pace, humor, and how much character differentiation the dialogue needs.
A written brief every audition is measured against.

( Perspective )
Worth knowing first
Selection01
Choosing the Right Narrative Voice
The strongest audition is rarely the most polished demo — it is the read that disappears and lets the story through. We direct auditions to test exactly that.
Structure02
When to Cast Multiple Narrators
Alternating first-person chapters and heavy dialogue casts benefit from more than one voice. Single-POV narratives usually do not, and the cost difference is real.
Judgment03
Reading Audition Samples Critically
Listen for pacing under long sentences, consistency across a scene, and whether character voices hold up without becoming caricature.
Find the voiceyour story already has.
Send the manuscript and your genre. We will brief the casting, run auditions on your pages, and book the narrator.
