What should your script contain?
- Structure. 1 tab for each character and 1 line for each separate audio file.
- Content. The file should contain all lines that need to be voiced, that is, all the necessary text without anything extra.
- Сonsistency. Each line of the script should have the correct audio file name next to it— these are usually decided by the customer. It’s important to keep track of them so that files don’t get mixed up, especially if it’s a big project.
- Intonation. It’s important to include a description of each line’s intonation, for example, “spoken with relief” or “in an excited voice”. This helps get the correct emotions across as accurately as possible, avoiding having to re-record or edit in the future.
- Timing. This should also be indicated separately for each line so that the actors can take time limits into account during the recording process.
