Editor notes & listening tips

How we test narration

We assess pacing, clarity, character differentiation, and production value in each sample chapter.

  • Short listen (15–30 min) to assess voice fit.
  • Check sample across platforms for consistency.
  • Note timecode markers for highlights.

Speed & retention tips

Adjust playback speed conservatively; 1.25x often improves focus without losing nuance.

  1. Use bookmarks for key passages.
  2. Pause and take short notes after chapters.
