## In depth

### What narration is
Narration is the telling of a story to an audience by a narrator — in books, film and documentary [1]. In audio, the narrator's voice becomes the story's point of view, which is why steadiness, pacing and warmth matter more than accent or pitch.

### Audiobook pace and consistency
Audiobooks are often recommended at about 150–160 words per minute [2], slower than many default AI reads. Narrate in chapter-sized clips, keep the same voice and settings throughout, and slow the voice slightly — listeners forgive a calm pace, not a rushed one. Audiobooks have become a major format for exactly this kind of long listening [3].

## FAQ
Q: What is the best AI narrator voice?
A: For long reads, ElevenLabs Multilingual v2 (e.g. Warren, George, Brian) and MiniMax Speech 2.8 HD (Captivating Storyteller, Wise Scholar) are the steadiest. Compare them on your own passage with free credits.

Q: Can I narrate a whole audiobook?
A: Yes, chapter by chapter: up to 10,000 characters per clip on MiniMax and Multilingual v2. Keep the same voice and settings and join the clips in your editor.

Q: How do I narrate a poem well?
A: Keep line breaks as punctuation, slow the speed to about 0.9×, and choose a measured voice like Wise Scholar. Read the result once and adjust commas where the pauses feel wrong.

Q: Can I make a narrator voice of my own?

Q: Can the narrator do character voices in dialogue?
A: One narrator reads everything in one voice. For full-cast audio, generate each character's lines with a different voice and assemble them.
