The Wizard of Oz
Then a strange thing happened. The house whirled around two or three times and rose slowly through the air. Dorothy felt as if she were going up in a balloon. The wind howled horribly around her. Yet the house rocked her gently like a baby in a cradle.
What to include in the sample
Test audiobook narration before you commit to a voice
The most dramatic scene is not always the most useful test. Pick a section that sounds like the rest of the book.
A short exchange
Use two speakers and a line of attribution. You will quickly hear whether the emotional change feels believable or theatrical.
Try two speakers and one line of attribution
Names that will come up again
Include character names, invented places, acronyms, or technical terms now so you can fix them before generating a chapter.
