Bedtime and sleep stories

Elliot, a soft-spoken, intimate voice for storytelling
Elliot has a low pitch and a breathy, intimate, soft-spoken sound. Storytelling and intimate narration are his listed strengths, the kind of script that should feel shared rather than performed.

Three scenes: joy, heartbreak and suspense
- A soft voice letting the joy out without ever getting loud is what keeps a bedtime story calm.
- He sounds close in the goodbye, as if he is sitting beside the listener.
- A hush that still carries a warning makes for a gentle kind of suspense.
About this voice
The uncle everyone asks for at bedtime
Our Elliot is in his thirties, the uncle the kids always ask to read the bedtime story. He is quiet and thoughtful, and he tells a story as if he is letting you in on a secret. He never raises his voice to make a point. He leans in instead, and the room leans in with him.
The notes on his voice read breathy, intimate and soft-spoken, with a low pitch, recommended for storytelling or intimate narrations. Bedtime stories, audio fiction and personal essays suit him. A <sigh> or a <pause:2> between scenes keeps the pace slow, and the whole story comes back as one MP3 with captions.
For his scripts, keep the words simple and the sentences unhurried. "The fox curled up by the fire. <sigh> It had been a long winter, and the night was finally warm." Soft sounds, gentle images and a blank line between scenes help him keep a story calm all the way to the end.
Where we would use it
Bedtime stories, audio fiction and personal essays
Audio fiction
Short stories and chapters where a close, quiet narrator makes the listener feel like the only one in the room. He makes a long story feel like it is told to one person.
Personal essays and reflections
First-person pieces and journal-style videos that need a gentle, unhurried delivery. Personal writing deserves a voice that does not perform it.
