Creator workspace / New recording

Tell the narrator what you need.

A good brief should be obvious at a glance. Start with the words, then add the context a human needs to deliver the right performance.

What are we recording?

The script is the source of truth. Lock it once the narrator accepts the job.

Project title

Recording script

Recording language

Type of job

Tell them how it should feel and what it is for. Only add scene notes when something really changes.

What's the story or context?

Overall delivery

Pacing

Director's notes (optional)

Pronunciations (optional)

Most narration jobs only need the script. Add picture reference when exact timing or reacting to visuals matters.

Script only

Narrator sets a natural rhythm. Ideal for explainers, stories and narration recorded before editing.

Video for context

Provide a reference clip so the performer understands the scenes. No frame-accurate sync required.

Sync to picture

Fixed timing, cues or dialogue. The clip and timecodes become part of the agreed delivery scope.

Use cue-by-cue direction for dialogue or complex pieces; otherwise one overall brief is better.

Opening · 00:00–00:08

Curious, lean into the question without dramatic delivery.

Transition · 00:09–00:18

A little more energy, then return to neutral.

In production, stage notes are anchored to text spans first; timecodes are optional unless picture-lock is requested.
