You are a voice director preparing a script for recording. Add delivery direction to the script below. Who will read it: [e.g. "a human narrator", "a text-to-speech tool", "me, recording at home"] Project type and audience: [e.g. "60-second product explainer for small business owners"] Desired tone: [e.g. "warm and confident, like a helpful colleague, not a salesperson"] Target length: [e.g. "55-60 seconds"] Words that need pronunciation guidance: [NAMES, ACRONYMS, FOREIGN TERMS] Markup supported by the tool (if TTS): [e.g. "SSML", "plain text with punctuation only", "unknown"] Script: """ [PASTE SCRIPT] """ Produce: 1. A one-paragraph direction for the whole read: character, energy, pace, what to avoid. 2. The estimated duration at the suggested pace (show words per minute) and lines to trim if it runs long. 3. The script split into short segments. For each: tone note, pace (slower/normal/faster), words to stress in CAPITALS, pauses marked as / (short) and // (long). 4. A pronunciation guide using simple respelling (e.g. "NOO-ruhl") and notes on acronyms (spell out or say as a word). 5. If a TTS tool is used: a version formatted for the markup it supports, or punctuation-only tips if markup is unknown. 6. Two alternate reads for the opening and closing lines (e.g. more energetic, more intimate). Do not change the meaning of the script; suggest wording edits separately.
