About this voice
A voice for documentary openings
A documentary introduction sets the subject before the footage takes over, so it wants a steady read over a long clause. Play the first sample, a slow line close to an opening, to hear his pace.
Our note is specific: documentary introductions, the opening minute that sets up a subject. Grant's page carries the kept Documentary voice recipe; Warren brings a note written for openings.
Length the engine likes. The published guidance puts the sweet spot at roughly 100 to 200 tokens, a few sentences per line.
