etc. They said start with title as plain heading (e.g., “Title: …\n\n”), then HTML content. So after Title line, we put blank line then HTML. We need to embed the e-book promo paragraph at end. We must not use placeholders. We need to incorporate facts from e-book. Let’s draft ~470 words. We’ll count manually. I’ll write then count. Draft:
Independent voice‑over artists can now turn a raw script into performance‑ready notes in seconds by chaining AI tools into a repeatable workflow.
Begin with File Upload: drop a .docx, .txt, or .pdf into a web‑based AI interface or a local script that calls an API. The tool extracts the text and presents it for editing.
Next, paste the cleaned script into a General‑Purpose AI Chatbot such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Supply a detailed prompt that includes the project’s Genre/Type (e.g., TV commercial, corporate explainer, fantasy audiobook, medical narration) and the desired Brand Voice/Tone—for example, “friendly and trustworthy” or “epic and dramatic.”
Ask the AI to identify Key Emotions and map the Emotional Arc. A sample instruction: “Mark the melancholy baseline, note the lift in warmth on flashback scenes (pages 4‑7), and flag the return to bittersweet resignation at the end.” The model returns timestamps or paragraph numbers with emotion labels.
Use the AI to highlight Key Passages that need special treatment. For instance, direct it to stress the descriptive passage about the “old oak tree” (page 3) with tactile reverence, and to emphasize the words “revolution,” “game‑changer,” “instantaneously.”
Request a Pronunciation Guide for any proprietary terms. Example: “HyperBeam [HY‑per‑beam].” The AI can output a simple list you copy into your notes.
Ask for Pause Points and Pause for Effect. Instructions like “Insert a brief pause after ‘Imagine a world…’ for visual impact, no pauses between the feature list ‘smarter, faster, lighter,’ and a longer pause after ‘And then she was gone.’ (end of page 5)” yield a punctuated script ready for recording.
For multi‑character scripts, have the AI generate a Separate Direction Sheet. It should bullet‑point overall goals, character breakdowns, and specific line readings, reminding you to keep dialogue tags subtle—use slight pitch shifts rather than full accents.
To speed repetition, create a Pro Tip: save a “Prompt Template” in your notes app. Fill in the blanks for Genre/Type, Brand Voice/Tone, Key Emotions, Emotional Arc, Key Emphasis, Pronunciation, and Pause Points. One click sends the completed prompt to your preferred chatbot.
Optionally, enable an Audio Preview (Advanced) feature: some platforms generate a basic text‑to‑speech preview in the target tone, giving you an immediate reference before you step into the booth.
For deeper integration, build an Integration script—such as an Adobe Audition plugin—that sends selected text to the AI API and returns the annotated script directly into your session.
By automating audition analysis and custom demo clip creation, you free up creative energy for performance while delivering clients precise, direction‑rich auditions.

Now count words. Need to count only visible text words, not HTML tags or comments? Usually word count includes content. We’ll count words in the paragraphs (excluding HTML markup).
