Your practice exercise
Write a 30-second narration about a robot finding its first living plant. Make one version curious and another reassuring; compare the pacing.
- Choose a voice you have permission to use.
- Listen to the complete narration before exporting it.
- Check that pauses and emphasis support the cut rather than slowing every sentence.
Write a 60–70 word voiceover for a fictional short about a tiny robot discovering a living plant inside an abandoned greenhouse. Use short, clear sentences. Mark two natural pauses. Create a curious version and a reassuring version. Keep the events identical and avoid imitating any real person’s voice.
