Can I tell you something I've never told anyone? Come closer. It's not a large secret as secrets go. Nobody died. No crime was committed. But I've carried it quietly for twenty years. This small, tender, foolish thing. And I've decided tonight, with the house asleep and only you listening, that...

A Scottish sports commentator calling a historic victory.

They've done it! They have actually won the championship! I cannot believe what I am seeing on this pitch right now! This is the greatest day in the history of the club!


Okay, so here's what I keep coming back to and tell me if I me wrong. You spent 10 years building the thing and then you just walked away. Like, what does that morning feel like? Walk me through the actual Tuesday you decided

A loud, echoing voice calling out, featuring a heavy sigh and an audible shiver.

Listen, [sigh] you cannot be serious about going out in this terrible weather! It's pouring rain and you will definitely catch a cold out there! [shiver]


Now, you gotta be patient out here. Fish don't care about your schedule and honestly, that's the medicine. Cast it soft, right along that log line. Let it sit. Shh. There, feel that? Little tap tap. That's him thinking about it. Ain't about catching 'em really, it's about the quiet.

A terrified, panicked delivery spoken with a thick Cockney accent.

[gasp] Quick, 'ide behind the curtain! They're comin' down the 'allway right now! We need to stay absolutely silent or they'll find us both!


You landed, you're tired. The last thing you need is a line, a lecture, and a stack of forms. So we cut all that. Reserve in seconds, skip the counter, grab your keys, and drive off into whatever adventure you flew here for. Clean cars, honest rates, zero run-around. Wheels down, wheels turning.

A space explorer expressing profound awe and wonder to their crewmate.

Wow... look at the sheer density of the starfield out there. There must be a million billion of them in this sector alone. Are we really the first to see this?


Let the breath move like the tide: in as the wave draws up the sand, and out as it slides back to the sea. In and out. The ocean has been breathing like this for a billion years, patient and endless. Let yourself be carried by it. Each wave arriving and releasing. Each breath the same.

A quiet, raspy voice speaking while completely breathless and panting from heavy exertion.

[pants] I ran... the whole way... from downtown... [gasps] to tell you... the news... give me... [heavy breath] just a second... to catch my breath here...


Uh, a missing item and cold food? That's a terrible dinner, and I'm sorry. No hoops to jump through. I'm refunding the missing dish right now, and I'm adding a credit for the whole order because cold food isn't what you paid for. Next time you order, the delivery's on us.

A voice seething with bitter jealousy, interrupted by a sharp scoff and a heavy sigh.

[scoff] Of course she got the lead role again. She always gets everything she wants, [sigh] while the rest of us work twice as hard for absolutely nothing.


Oh no, please continue. This is fascinating, truly. I don't think I've ever heard a plan quite so ambitious. And by ambitious, I mean doomed. But hey, who am I to rain on the parade? You clearly have it all figured out. What could possibly go wrong? Besides everything. But sure.

An exhausted but welcoming pub bartender.

G'day mate! Pull up a stool. Been a real scorcher today, hasn't it? I reckon we both deserve a cold one after all that hard yakka.


Before there was light, there was a question. Not asked by any voice, for there were no voices; asked, if you can imagine it, by the darkness itself: what would it be like to be something, rather than nothing?

Seeking reassurance with a trembling voice, pausing to take nervous breaths and letting out a heavy sigh of self-doubt.

Do you really think I'm good enough for this? [nervous breath] Everyone else seems so confident, and I'm just here... [heavy sigh] pretending I know what I'm doing.


They crowned the boy king in the spring, and by the first frost, three of the men who'd knelt to him were dead: two by poison and one by his own hand. And the boy himself had learned the first and only lesson the throne ever teaches: that mercy is a debt, and every debt comes due.

Speaking with a Scottish accent, the voice breaks and halts frequently due to heavy crying.

I just... [sob] I cannae do this anymore... everything is falling apart and I dinna ken how to fix it... [sniffle] I'm so tired of trying...


Speaking with a thick Irish accent, the voice sounds muffled and distant, as if echoing from down a long hallway.

Back in the day, we didn't have all these fancy gadgets. We had to work hard for every little thing we wanted, and believe me, we appreciated it.


So, the mortal returns to the queen's court. Bold. You could ask me for anything. Power, riches, vengeance. They all do. But you just... look at me like I'm a person, not a bargain. Do you have any idea how long it's been since someone did that? Careful, little thing.

A furious homeowner speaks with seething anger, incorporating heavy breathing and a bitter scoff.

[heavy breath] You had no right to go through my personal belongings! I trusted you, and you completely violated that trust! [scoff] Get out of my house!


Ay! Ay, look who it is! Come 'ere, come 'ere, let me look at you. You're lookin' good, you're lookin' healthy, that's good, that's what I like to see. Listen! Anybody gives you a problem around here, anybody, you come to Sal, capiche? We take care of our own on this block, always have.

A loud, piercing voice speaking with furious indignation.

Hey, I'm walking here! What are you, some kind of tourist? This is how we cross the street in the city, so get outta my way already!


Welcome home, my lady. Dinner is prepared, your bath is drawn, and yes, I've already hidden the sweets from the young master, who has been remarkably innocent all afternoon. You seem troubled. Shall I bring tea to the garden? Sometimes the evening air untangles what words cannot.

Speaking while hyperventilating, punctuated by sharp gasps, an audible swallow, and a nervous laugh.

[gasp] Oh no, I can't believe I just said that out loud in front of everyone. [swallow] Please tell me nobody heard that. [nervous laugh] I'm so mortified right now.


Now, and I ask you to note this carefully, the treaty did not fail because it was too harsh, nor because it was too lenient. It failed because it was both at once, which you will find is also true of most committee decisions and several of my marriages. Moving on.

Deliver the lines with pronounced stuttering and a slightly shaky voice, expressing sincere gratitude and deep appreciation to the listener.

I wanted to tell you that I really appreciate all the help you've g-given me with this p-project over the past few weeks. Thank you so much.


Speaking while heavily out of breath from running, yet radiating pure, uncontainable enthusiasm and excitement.

[pants] This is absolutely incredible! [gasps] I ran all the way here to tell you! I've been waiting for this opportunity my whole life, and I promise I won't let you down!


Take a breath. This is supposed to be joyful, and I promise, we'll keep it that way. Everything is on track. The venue's confirmed for your date, the florist has your palette, and the tasting is set for next Saturday. The one open item is the seating chart, and there's no rush, we have weeks.

Speaking in a Scottish accent, venting intense frustration and demanding to be left alone.

You just don't understand what it's like! Nobody gets me, and you're always on my case about absolutely everything! Just leave me alone!


To everyone out there tonight, thank you for loving me. You're the reason I shine, you know that? Okay, okay, and now, just between us, that last song, I didn't write it for the fans. I wrote it for you. The one always in the front row of my heart.

A meticulous security inspector shivering from the extreme cold, speaking with a trembling voice.

In my country we have a saying: trust is good, but control is better. [shivers] This is why I always check the perimeter myself, even in this freezing weather.


Speak with a posh British accent, pausing to clear your throat and sigh heavily as if annoyed by the request.

[clears throat] Greetings, human subject. I have completed the analysis of your request. [sighs] Shall I proceed with the recommended course of action now?


Before touching a formula, ask: what question am I answering? Which product sells best in winter? Good. Now the spreadsheet has a job. We filter to winter, sort by sales, and there’s your answer. No fancy function needed. Data isn't about tricks. It's about asking the right question first.

Speak with defensive indignation, trying to persuade the listener that everything is perfectly fine and under control.

Listen, buddy... [sigh] I know exactly what I'm doing, okay? I've only had a couple of minor setbacks... maybe three... I am perfectly fine to handle this myself...


A grieving partner speaking with profound sadness, the audio echoing slightly as if recorded in a large, empty room.

I keep expecting to hear your voice when I come home. [sighs] But the house is just so empty and quiet now. I miss you so much.


Speaking while heavily out of breath, sounding deeply apologetic and embarrassed.

[pants] I do apologise for the inconvenience, but I'm afraid the lift is temporarily out of order. [gasps] You'll need to take the stairs to the third floor.


Well, well, so you're the one making my client so nervous. I can see why, there's a fire in you. Shame I'm being paid to put it out. It's nothing personal, sweetheart, it's just an excellent paycheck. Tell you what though.

Speak with a thick Scottish accent, incorporating heavy sighs and yawns to convey extreme exhaustion.

[sigh] I've been up for thirty-six hours straight trying to finish this project. I just need to rest my eyes for a few minutes, [yawn] then I'll continue.


A security guard urgently commanding a crowd to evacuate.

Attention everyone! We need to evacuate the building immediately! This is not a drill! Leave your belongings and move quickly to the nearest exits!


Speak with a slow, quiet, and deliberate pacing, conveying deep, genuine affection and tenderness.

You mean the world to me, and I want you to know that. I cherish every single moment we spend together. I am so incredibly grateful that you're in my life.


The distant, echoing voice of a Southern tour guide speaking with a thick drawl.

Welcome to the historic manor, y'all! Step right into the grand foyer. If you look up at the ceiling, you'll see the original crystal chandelier.


They marched out ten thousand strong, banners bright against a morning that did not know it was their last. By dusk, the river ran a color that has no name. History would call it a great victory. The mothers would call it something else.

Speaking while congested and shivering from the cold, interrupted by audible sniffles and a heavy sigh.

[sniff] Of course she got the promotion instead of me. She always gets everything she wants, [sigh] while I'm stuck out here freezing and doing all the actual work.


Fools! Fools! Did you truly think your little friendship could thwart the magnificent Baron Malefacts? Mwa-ha... wait, who touched my doom ray? It was calibrated! Curse you, meddling children, and your unnervingly clever hamster! I shall return!

Speaking with an Irish accent, delivering a heartfelt eulogy to express deep gratitude to the attendees.

Thank you all for coming today to celebrate her life. She would have been so deeply touched to see just how much she meant to everyone here.


A corporate salesperson speaking while completely out of breath, panting heavily but still sounding cocky and proud.

[pants] Yeah, I just closed the biggest deal in company history on my first month. [gasps] I guess some people are just natural born winners, you know?


Warmly welcoming a friend, chuckling at the start and letting out a contented sigh in the middle.

[chuckle] Sure, and it's a grand day for it, isn't it? [sigh] The sun's out, and there's not a cloud in the sky to be seen anywhere at all!


Speaking with a gentle Scottish accent, the voice is very soft, breathy, and recorded as if speaking close to the microphone.

I still remember the way he used to hold my hand when we walked through the glen together. [sigh] Those were the happiest days of my life.


Speaking with a thick Scottish accent, the voice is terrified and intensely urgent.

[gasps] Don't make a sound or they'll hear us. We need to wait until they pass by, and then we can make our escape through the back window.


Of course, my liege, of course. Your wisdom is, as ever, beyond question. Though, if I may humbly observe, your dear brother has been so very popular with the people lately. So beloved. It's nothing, I'm sure. A loyal prince would never dream of the throne. And yet...

Speak with highly amused joy, praising the listener's humor while eagerly requesting another joke.

That's the funniest thing I've heard all week! [laugh] You really have a way with words, my friend! [laugh] Tell me another one, please!


Let's be honest, nobody's paying triple just to sit closer to the front. So skip the frills you never wanted anyway and put that money toward, oh, actually enjoying the trip. Ridiculously cheap fares, no sneaky nonsense, to the places you actually want to go. Same sky, way smaller price.

The voice sounds slightly muffled with a noticeable room echo, featuring a polite throat clear and a warm chuckle.

[Clears throat] Welcome, welcome! Please, come in and have a look around. [Chuckle] I am having very good prices today on all items! Everything must go very quickly!


A nervous best friend confessing their feelings, speaking with intense anxiety and frequent stuttering.

I... [sigh] I know this might sound crazy, but... I think I'm in love with you. I just... I wanted you to know how I feel about us.


Speak rapidly with a sharp tone and falling intonation, sounding completely out of breath.

[pants] Listen, I don't have time to explain everything right now, [inhales sharply] so just trust me on this one and follow my lead exactly as I tell you, okay?


Bards would later sing that she was chosen, marked by fate, blessed by the old gods, destined from birth for the quest that would save the world. It made a better song than the truth. The truth is that no one chose her.

A mystical wizard delivers a solemn warning, pausing to clear their throat and letting out a heavy sigh.

Aye, the ancient magic runs deep in these highlands. [clears throat] Ye must be verra careful when wielding such powerful forces of nature. [sighs] It takes a heavy toll on the soul.


Okay, so here's what I keep coming back to and tell me if I me wrong. You spent 10 years building the thing and then you just walked away. Like, what does that morning feel like? Walk me through the actual Tuesday you decided

Speaking with a thick Scottish accent while shivering violently from the freezing cold, teeth chattering slightly.

I cannae feel my fingers anymore! [shiver] We should have never come out on the moors in this weather. [teeth chatter] Let's just get back to the warmth of the fire before we freeze solid.


Speaking while heavily out of breath and gasping for air, trying to reassure the listener that everything is fine.

[gasps] I'm okay... [pants] just give me a second to catch my breath. [gasps] I promise, I'm completely fine... just ran a little too fast.


The speaker expresses stern disappointment and contempt, incorporating a heavy sigh and a dismissive scoff into their delivery.

[sigh] This court finds your conduct absolutely disgraceful. You have shown no remorse whatsoever, [scoff] and I have no choice but to impose the maximum sentence allowed by law.


Speak slowly with long, dramatic pauses, conveying a reluctant concession to the listener's argument.

So, like... [sigh] I was thinking about what you said. And... I guess you might be right about some of it. But definitely not everything.


Everyone wants the 10 bagger, the overnight rocket. Here's the unsexy truth: consistent, boring investing beats almost everyone chasing the thrill. Buy the broad index, keep buying when it's scary, don't touch it for 20 years. That's it. That's the strategy that quietly makes millionaires.

A lead technician giving a briefing with a thick Japanese accent.

Please listen very carefully to the instructions. This is a highly sensitive procedure, and we must execute every step exactly right on the first attempt.


A pirate slurring heavily from intoxication, trying to reassure their crew that they can still safely sail the ship.

[hiccup] Arrr, mateys... don't you worry your heads. I've had a wee bit too much rum, aye, but I can still... [heavy breath] navigate us back to shore. Probably. Just... keep the wheel steady.


Uh, a missing item and cold food? That's a terrible dinner, and I'm sorry. No hoops to jump through. I'm refunding the missing dish right now, and I'm adding a credit for the whole order because cold food isn't what you paid for. Next time you order, the delivery's on us.

A breathy, trembling voice speaking rapidly, interrupted by sharp gasps and panicked whimpers.

[gasp] Oh god, oh god, they're getting closer! [whimper] I can hear their footsteps. We need to hide right now, please! [gasp] I don't want to die here!


Speaking with a thick German accent while shivering violently from the freezing cold.

[shivering] Mein Gott! I have never felt a freezing storm like this one! We must secure the doors before the ice gets worse!


Before there was light, there was a question. Not asked by any voice, for there were no voices; asked, if you can imagine it, by the darkness itself: what would it be like to be something, rather than nothing?

Speak with overwhelming grief, lamenting a tragic loss and desperately seeking comfort.

I can't believe he's really gone forever. [sob] Why did this have to happen to us? [sigh] I don't know how to go on without him here.


Speaking at a rapid, loud volume while completely out of breath and panting.

[pants] Breaking news this hour! [gasps] Officials just confirmed the merger between the two major corporations has been finalized, effective immediately!


A Scottish accent, punctuated by sharp scoffs and heavy, angry breaths.

[scoff] You're going to regret crossing me! [heavy breath] I will make absolutely certain that you pay dearly for what you've done to ruin my reputation!


Ah, there you are. Come sit by the fire. It's a cold one out there tonight. No need to say anything, we can just sit a while. That's the good kind of company, isn't it? The kind where you don't have to perform, where the quiet is comfortable. The kettle's on, the fire's warm.

A student speaking with immense relief after passing a difficult exam.

[sighs] Oh, thank goodness. I was so worried about that final, but it turned out just fine after all that studying I did last night.


Speaking with a soft Irish accent, expressing deep contentment and reassuring the listener that everything is perfect.

This is exactly where I want to be right now. Just sitting here with you, watching the sun dip below the hills. Life truly doesn't get much better than this, does it?


A devastated, recently-fired employee speaks while heavily congested from crying, interrupting their words with frequent sighs and sobs.

Everything just fell apart today. [sigh] I lost my job, and then she packed her bags. [sob] I don't know what I'm going to do now. [sigh] It's all gone.


Speak with a slow, deliberate pace and a quiet, strained volume, sounding impatient and frustrated, while sighing and clearing your throat.

[sigh] Now class, if you'll direct your attention to page forty-seven. [clears throat] You'll notice the critical distinction between these two theories is quite subtle, yet you all missed it.


Okay, so this recipe changed my entire life. And I know I say that a lot, but this time I mean it more. It's five ingredients, one pan, and it tastes like you spent all day on it. Which, between us, you absolutely did not.

An Australian arcade champion speaks with playful teasing and smug amusement.

Oh really? You think you can beat me at this game? [laughs] That's adorable, mate! I've been setting high scores on this cabinet since before you could even hold a joystick.


Welcome home, my lady. Dinner is prepared, your bath is drawn, and yes, I've already hidden the sweets from the young master, who has been remarkably innocent all afternoon. You seem troubled. Shall I bring tea to the garden? Sometimes the evening air untangles what words cannot.

Speaking with a nasal, slightly muffled tone due to severe congestion, the speaker condescendingly criticizes a poor performance while frequently clearing their throat.

I must say, [clears throat] the presentation was rather underwhelming. [clears throat] Perhaps next time we might prepare more thoroughly, wouldn't you agree?


Speak with overwhelming exhaustion, pleading for a break while letting out heavy sighs and yawns.

[heavy sigh] I've been working without sleep for three days straight. [yawn] My hands won't stop shaking, and I just need to rest for a few hours. Please, let me sleep.


Ay! Ay, look who it is! Come 'ere, come 'ere, let me look at you. You're lookin' good, you're lookin' healthy, that's good, that's what I like to see. Listen! Anybody gives you a problem around here, anybody, you come to Sal, capiche? We take care of our own on this block, always have.

A fairy guide speaking in a breathy, soft-spoken tone while panting slightly from exertion.

[pants] Welcome to the enchanted forest, little one! [pants] I flew as fast as I could to find you. I'm here to grant you three magical wishes! What is your heart's greatest desire right now?


A Scottish accent burning with righteous triumph, loudly proclaiming victory to a crowd.

I told ye all along that I was right! [laughs] Now the whole lot of ye can see the truth! Justice has finally been served, and vindication is mine!


Speaking with a French accent, the speaker is completely out of breath from physical exertion, panting and sighing heavily as they deliver the news.

[pants] We have accomplished something truly remarkable here today, mes amis. [sighs] Our team has achieved what many said was completely impossible for us.


A festive workshop elf speaking with a bright, high-pitched tone, letting out occasional giggles.

Oh, what fun we'll have today! [giggle] Come along quickly now! We mustn't keep the boss waiting at the workshop any longer, my friend! [giggle]


Oh no, please continue. This is fascinating, truly. I don't think I've ever heard a plan quite so ambitious. And by ambitious, I mean doomed. But hey, who am I to rain on the parade? You clearly have it all figured out. What could possibly go wrong? Besides everything. But sure.

A Scottish accent, speaking with muffled, slow speech and severe stuttering, desperately warning someone about a mistake.

I've... I've been trying to tell ye... for quite some time now... that this just isn't... the right approach... to the problem...


A lost explorer speaks in a terrified tone, sounding parched and completely exhausted.

[gasps] The old tales spoke of gems hidden deep in these abandoned mines. [coughs] I ventured in to find them... but whatever lives down here... it won't let me leave.


Speak with a posh British accent in a highly reverberant, echoing space, incorporating sinister chuckles and deep breaths.

[chuckles] Soon, my grand design will be complete. [inhales] There is absolutely nothing you pathetic heroes can do to stop me now. Victory will finally be mine.


A frustrated stranded traveler shouting loudly to convey urgent information over deafening background noise.

I said my flight was canceled! [groan] No, canceled! I need you to pick me up at the south terminal! Can you hear me? The south terminal!


An Australian accent, completely out of breath and hyperventilating with extreme, uncontrollable amusement.

Stop it, mate, you're killing me! [laugh] That's absolutely ridiculous! [laugh] I can't breathe! [laugh] Please, no more, my ribs are aching!


Speak with a hoarse, tight throat to express profound grief and mourning, interrupted by audible sobbing and crying.

I cannae believe she's gone forever. [sob] We had so many plans together for our future. [sniffle] I dinnae know how to carry on without her by my side. [cry]


A therapist speaks in a soothing, reassuring manner, using a low-pitched voice with a slow, measured pace.

[inhales] Take a deep breath... and let it out slowly. [exhales] Remember that you are in complete control of your thoughts, and your reactions to stress.


Can I tell you something I've never told anyone? Come closer. It's not a large secret as secrets go. Nobody died. No crime was committed. But I've carried it quietly for twenty years. This small, tender, foolish thing. And I've decided tonight, with the house asleep and only you listening, that...

A British accent recorded in crisp, close-mic audio, speaking through a tightly clenched jaw.

I find your behaviour absolutely appalling. [sigh] I cannot believe you would stoop to such a despicable level of deceit.


Let the breath move like the tide: in as the wave draws up the sand, and out as it slides back to the sea. In and out. The ocean has been breathing like this for a billion years, patient and endless. Let yourself be carried by it. Each wave arriving and releasing. Each breath the same.

An overworked programmer desperately tries to explain a complex issue, yawning repeatedly from exhaustion.

I've been staring at this code for three days straight without sleep. [yawn] Sorry, I really need to finish explaining this logic to you before the system crashes. [yawn]


Now, and I ask you to note this carefully, the treaty did not fail because it was too harsh, nor because it was too lenient. It failed because it was both at once, which you will find is also true of most committee decisions and several of my marriages. Moving on.

Speaking with a voice heavy with sleep, expressing deep affection while intimately confessing feelings to a partner.

[yawns] You are the most amazing person I have ever known. [sighs] I fall more in love with you every single day we spend together, my darling.


They crowned the boy king in the spring, and by the first frost, three of the men who'd knelt to him were dead: two by poison and one by his own hand. And the boy himself had learned the first and only lesson the throne ever teaches: that mercy is a debt, and every debt comes due.

A professional office worker speaking with a Korean accent in a congested, raspy voice, coughing frequently.

I apologize, I have a terrible cold today. [cough] I will try to finish the quarterly report anyway. [cough] Please excuse my voice, I am not feeling very well right now.


Before touching a formula, ask: what question am I answering? Which product sells best in winter? Good. Now the spreadsheet has a job. We filter to winter, sort by sales, and there’s your answer. No fancy function needed. Data isn't about tricks. It's about asking the right question first.

Speak with intense, euphoric excitement while completely out of breath from an adrenaline rush, inserting sharp gasps and triumphant laughs.

[gasp] Oh my god, did you see that shot?! [laugh] I totally got him! [gasp] This is exactly why I'm ranked number one on the server right now! [laugh]


Well, well, so you're the one making my client so nervous. I can see why, there's a fire in you. Shame I'm being paid to put it out. It's nothing personal, sweetheart, it's just an excellent paycheck. Tell you what though.

A breathy, trembling voice pleading desperately for mercy, interrupted by terrified gasps and sobs.

[gasp] Please don't hurt me. [sob] I'll do whatever you want, just please let me go. [shuddering breath] I have a family waiting for me at home... they need me, please!


Now, you gotta be patient out here. Fish don't care about your schedule and honestly, that's the medicine. Cast it soft, right along that log line. Let it sit. Shh. There, feel that? Little tap tap. That's him thinking about it. Ain't about catching 'em really, it's about the quiet.

A ruthless business executive with a Russian accent, instructing a subordinate with a cold, calculated warning.

In business, you must always think three steps ahead of your opponent. [pause] This is what separates the victors from the casualties in our world. Do not forget this lesson.


So, the mortal returns to the queen's court. Bold. You could ask me for anything. Power, riches, vengeance. They all do. But you just... look at me like I'm a person, not a bargain. Do you have any idea how long it's been since someone did that? Careful, little thing.

Deliver the lines with a Scottish accent, sounding deeply contemplative and wistful. Include a heavy sigh at the beginning and a thoughtful pause in the middle.

[sigh] I've been thinking about the meaning of all this for many years now. [pause] Perhaps we'll never truly understand the purpose of our existence here.


Of course, my liege, of course. Your wisdom is, as ever, beyond question. Though, if I may humbly observe, your dear brother has been so very popular with the people lately. So beloved. It's nothing, I'm sure. A loyal prince would never dream of the throne. And yet...

An exhausted, shivering captive confessing total defeat.

[shivering] There's no escape from this nightmare. Nobody's coming to save us. [sighs] I'm trapped here forever, and I just can't fight it anymore. It's completely hopeless.


A soft, quiet voice from someone who is physically exhausted, featuring heavy sighs and lip smacks.

I just can't... [sigh] keep my eyes open anymore. [lip smack] The hike took everything out of me. Let's just rest here.


Speaking with a Scottish accent, the voice is trembling and raspy, conveying profound exhaustion and relief.

I've been in surgery for eighteen hours straight. [sighs] My hands are shaking, but we managed to save her life. I just need a strong cup of tea and some sleep now.


To everyone out there tonight, thank you for loving me. You're the reason I shine, you know that? Okay, okay, and now, just between us, that last song, I didn't write it for the fans. I wrote it for you. The one always in the front row of my heart.

A business manager speaks with a low pitch and a thick Chinese accent, stressing the critical importance of the upcoming meeting to motivate the team.

[clears throat] This is a very important business meeting for our company's future. We must make a good impression on the client, or we lose a very big opportunity today.


Fools! Fools! Did you truly think your little friendship could thwart the magnificent Baron Malefacts? Mwa-ha... wait, who touched my doom ray? It was calibrated! Curse you, meddling children, and your unnervingly clever hamster! I shall return!

A Scottish tour guide speaking while completely out of breath and panting heavily.

[pants] Right, folks... [pants] This is the most incredible opportunity of our entire lives! We have to seize this moment right now... [pants] before it slips away from us forever! [pants]


An inebriated partygoer speaks with an embarrassed, disoriented tone, slurring their words and letting out loud hiccups.

Oh, excuse me... [hiccup] I think I had a bit too much punch. The whole room is... [hiccup] spinning around. I'm so sorry, I just need to... [hiccup] sit down before I fall over.


Uh, a missing item and cold food? That's a terrible dinner, and I'm sorry. No hoops to jump through. I'm refunding the missing dish right now, and I'm adding a credit for the whole order because cold food isn't what you paid for. Next time you order, the delivery's on us.

Speak with a hoarse, raspy tone, expressing bitter resentment to confront and guilt-trip the listener, including a scoff and a sharp inhale.

[scoff] After everything I sacrificed for this family, this is how you repay me? [sharp inhale] With lies and betrayal? I should have known better than to trust you.


Bards would later sing that she was chosen, marked by fate, blessed by the old gods, destined from birth for the quest that would save the world. It made a better song than the truth. The truth is that no one chose her.

A raspy, breaking voice, crying and physically exhausted, expressing deep despair while pleading for relief.

I can't take this pain anymore. [sigh] Everything hurts so much. [sigh] I just want it all to end and finally find some peace.


An Australian surf instructor, heavily out of breath, urgently convincing their student to paddle out into the massive waves.

[Panting] Mate, grab your board right now! [Inhales deeply] The swell just picked up and it is absolutely pumping out there! I know it looks big, but you are ready for this. Let's go!


You landed, you're tired. The last thing you need is a line, a lecture, and a stack of forms. So we cut all that. Reserve in seconds, skip the counter, grab your keys, and drive off into whatever adventure you flew here for. Clean cars, honest rates, zero run-around. Wheels down, wheels turning.

Speaking in an Irish accent, the voice is loud and resonant, expressing pure joy and ecstatic happiness, punctuated by bright laughter.

This is the absolute happiest moment of my entire life! [laugh] I can't stop smiling! [laugh] Thank you so much for making this wild dream come true!


Take a breath. This is supposed to be joyful, and I promise, we'll keep it that way. Everything is on track. The venue's confirmed for your date, the florist has your palette, and the tasting is set for next Saturday. The one open item is the seating chart, and there's no rush, we have weeks.

A Cockney accent, speaking with loud, rhythmic projection. The tone is highly enthusiastic, aimed at persuading a bustling crowd to buy goods.

Fresh strawberries! Get your lovely red strawberries here! Two punnets for a fiver! Come on, love, take a look, best in the market!


A secretive sibling, breathless and trembling from adrenaline, urgently pleading for a cover-up, punctuated by nervous laughs.

Don't tell mom and dad, [sharp inhale] but I'm sneaking out tonight to meet my friends at the party. [nervous laugh] Cover for me if they ask where I am, okay?


Okay, so this recipe changed my entire life. And I know I say that a lot, but this time I mean it more. It's five ingredients, one pan, and it tastes like you spent all day on it. Which, between us, you absolutely did not.

An Eastern European vampire speaks with dark, predatory menace, letting out a sinister chuckle and a sharp inhale.

Your blood calls to me with an irresistible allure. [chuckle] Soon you will join me in eternal darkness, [inhale] and we shall hunt together through the centuries.


A breathy Southern messenger, completely breathless and gasping from exhaustion, urgently sharing exciting news.

Lord have mercy... [gasp] I ran all the way from the church... [gasp] just to tell y'all the wonderful news... [gasp] about the wedding!


Speak slowly and quietly, conveying a deep sense of peaceful nostalgia, while sounding physically exhausted but relaxed, including a gentle sigh.

[sigh] In all my years on this earth, I have learned that true happiness comes not from possessions, but from the love we share.


Speaking with a thick New York accent in a harsh, creaky voice, the speaker sounds deeply annoyed and physically exhausted, panting slightly between words.

[sighs] Listen, sweetheart. I've been walking these streets for forty years. [pants] So don't try to tell me how things work around here, because I know better.


A Scottish lead engineer vents their overwhelming frustration, their voice cracking as they explain the failure, punctuated by heavy sighs.

[sigh] Nothing is working the way it's supposed to! I've tried bypassing the main valve, and it just keeps failing! [sigh] Why can't anything go right for once!


They marched out ten thousand strong, banners bright against a morning that did not know it was their last. By dusk, the river ran a color that has no name. History would call it a great victory. The mothers would call it something else.

A femme fatale spy speaking with a Transatlantic accent in a low-pitched, breathy voice, including a laugh and a sigh.

Oh darling, you really thought you could outsmart me? [laugh] How adorable. [sigh] Now be a good boy and hand over those documents before things get... unpleasant.


Shouting a warning to evacuate while panicked and completely out of breath, pausing to pant heavily.

[pant] Everybody out of the building right now! [pant] There's a fire on the third floor! Leave your belongings and exit through the nearest door!


Ah, there you are. Come sit by the fire. It's a cold one out there tonight. No need to say anything, we can just sit a while. That's the good kind of company, isn't it? The kind where you don't have to perform, where the quiet is comfortable. The kettle's on, the fire's warm.

A poet with an Irish accent speaks in a soft, breathy voice, expressing deep melancholy to mourn a loss.

The words escape me now... [sigh] like autumn leaves scattered by an indifferent wind. [sniff] Beauty fades, and all we loved becomes mere memory and dust.


Everyone wants the 10 bagger, the overnight rocket. Here's the unsexy truth: consistent, boring investing beats almost everyone chasing the thrill. Buy the broad index, keep buying when it's scary, don't touch it for 20 years. That's it. That's the strategy that quietly makes millionaires.

An overwhelmed assistant speaking with an Indian accent, sounding completely panicked and out of breath while speaking rapidly.

[gasps] Please, sir, you must help me right now! The deadline is today and I have not completed the work! [pants] What should I do in this situation?


Speaking in a strained and breathy voice while completely out of breath, pleading for a moment to recover between fits of laughter.

[laughs] I can't... I can't even breathe! [gasps] That was absolutely ridiculous! [laughs] My sides hurt so much... just give me a minute, please! [gasps]


Speak with a Scottish accent, expressing malicious joy while gloating about the chaos you caused, interrupting your speech with wicked cackles.

Och aye! [cackles] Look at the absolute chaos I've created down there! The mortals are running around like headless chickens! [laughs] This is the most fun I've had in centuries!


Let the breath move like the tide: in as the wave draws up the sand, and out as it slides back to the sea. In and out. The ocean has been breathing like this for a billion years, patient and endless. Let yourself be carried by it. Each wave arriving and releasing. Each breath the same.

A grieving survivor speaks with a high pitch and long pauses, sounding completely devastated while crying and sniffling.

I received the news... [sniffle] this morning... and I just... [sniffle] can't process it... everything feels... [sniffle] completely unreal right now...


Speak with a Canadian accent in an airy, breathy tone, expressing deep longing and regret, including audible sighs.

[sigh] I just wish things could be different between us, eh? I think about you all the time, and wonder what could have been if we'd met sooner. [sigh]


Before there was light, there was a question. Not asked by any voice, for there were no voices; asked, if you can imagine it, by the darkness itself: what would it be like to be something, rather than nothing?

Start with genuine, amused laughter while speaking, then suddenly shift to a cold, irritated, and stern tone at the word 'but' as the realization sets in.

Oh, that's hilarious, really funny... but you know what? I've had just about enough of these constant jokes at my expense. This needs to stop.


Start with an excited, rushed delivery, speaking very quickly. At the word 'wait', suddenly pause and transition into a slow, thoughtful, and serious tone.

So basically what happened was we got there super early and everyone was already setting up and then... wait, let me think about this properly.


Start with a calm, analytical tone. Suddenly transition into explosive anger at the realization of a violation.

The data clearly shows a stable pattern over the last decade. Wait, look at this anomaly in the recent quarter. What are they doing? It's absolutely unacceptable, a complete betrayal of our trust!


Start with a cautious, hushed whisper, fearful of being overheard. Suddenly transition at 'You never listen' into a loud, explosive outburst of intense frustration.

Keep your voice down, they might hear us through the walls... You never listen to a word I say, do you?! Forty years of this!


Now, and I ask you to note this carefully, the treaty did not fail because it was too harsh, nor because it was too lenient. It failed because it was both at once, which you will find is also true of most committee decisions and several of my marriages. Moving on.

Start with a fast, panicked, and breathless delivery. Suddenly, after a sharp gasp, transition into a calm, relieved tone with a heavy sigh and a relaxed pace.

I can't believe I lost it! Everything is completely ruined and there is absolutely no way to fix this now! [gasp] Oh, wait. [sigh] It's right here in my backpack. Never mind.


Well, well, so you're the one making my client so nervous. I can see why, there's a fire in you. Shame I'm being paid to put it out. It's nothing personal, sweetheart, it's just an excellent paycheck. Tell you what though.

Start with a serious, low-pitched delivery. Suddenly, at 'Oh my goodness', transition into a high-pitched, squealing tone of extreme excitement.

Listen carefully to what I'm about to tell you, this is important. Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's actually happening right now!


Start with confident, upbeat optimism. At the word 'Wait', suddenly shift to panicked, breathless fear as the realization of being lost sets in.

The trail markers indicate we should reach the summit within the hour if we maintain this pace. Wait... this isn't the right path. Oh no, where are we? I don't recognize any of this!


Welcome home, my lady. Dinner is prepared, your bath is drawn, and yes, I've already hidden the sweets from the young master, who has been remarkably innocent all afternoon. You seem troubled. Shall I bring tea to the garden? Sometimes the evening air untangles what words cannot.

Start with a confident, reassuring tone. At the word 'Wait', suddenly shift to terrified, breathless alarm as if reacting to a frightening noise.

There's absolutely nothing to worry about, I've done this a hundred times before. Wait... did you hear that sound? Something's definitely not right here.


So, the mortal returns to the queen's court. Bold. You could ask me for anything. Power, riches, vengeance. They all do. But you just... look at me like I'm a person, not a bargain. Do you have any idea how long it's been since someone did that? Careful, little thing.

Start with a serious, slow, and formal storytelling tone. Suddenly break character at the ellipsis, transitioning into an amused, fast-paced delivery with laughter.

Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived a peculiar creature who... [laugh] okay, I can't keep a straight face, this story is ridiculous!


Start with bursting, high-energy excitement and a fast pace. Suddenly drop into a deflated, slow, and disappointed tone right at 'Oh...'

We're really going to the zoo today?! I can't wait to see the elephants and tigers and everything! Oh... you said maybe next weekend. Not today.


Start with a warm, affectionate greeting. Suddenly, at the word 'Though', the tone shifts to cold, hardened bitterness as a past betrayal is remembered.

Oh hello dear, it's so wonderful to see you again after all this time! Though I suppose you've come to ask for another favor, just like always.


Start with a slow, overly patient and measured tone. Suddenly shift to a fast, highly enthusiastic and excited delivery right after the pause.

Now, let me break this down step by step so everyone understands the concept... oh, you all got it already? Fantastic, let's move on to the fun part!


Oh no, please continue. This is fascinating, truly. I don't think I've ever heard a plan quite so ambitious. And by ambitious, I mean doomed. But hey, who am I to rain on the parade? You clearly have it all figured out. What could possibly go wrong? Besides everything. But sure.

Start with a calm, focused, and quiet tone for strategizing. Suddenly transition at "Go, go, go!" into an intensely aggressive, loud, and roaring delivery.

Alright team, here's what we're going to do. Stay focused and remember the plays we practiced... Go, go, go! Move it now!


Ay! Ay, look who it is! Come 'ere, come 'ere, let me look at you. You're lookin' good, you're lookin' healthy, that's good, that's what I like to see. Listen! Anybody gives you a problem around here, anybody, you come to Sal, capiche? We take care of our own on this block, always have.

Start with a cheerful, enthusiastic tone while planning. Suddenly transition to a stressed, dismayed tone, including an audible groan, right at 'Wait, how much does all this cost?'

We should totally get the fancy decorations and hire that DJ everyone loves, it'll be amazing! Wait, how much does all this cost? Oh no, this is way too much.


Start with a relaxed, confident tone. Suddenly, at the word 'wait', shift to a panicked and fearful delivery as the realization sets in.

Yeah, this route is pretty easy once you get used to the rhythm of it. You just follow the trail until... wait, where did the trail go? Oh no, we're completely lost.


Start with a polite, soft-spoken, and measured delivery. Suddenly shift at 'Sir,' to a louder, sharper, and faster sarcastic tone.

I completely understand your concern, and I'm here to help you resolve this issue. Sir, I've explained this three times already. Perhaps you should listen.


Can I tell you something I've never told anyone? Come closer. It's not a large secret as secrets go. Nobody died. No crime was committed. But I've carried it quietly for twenty years. This small, tender, foolish thing. And I've decided tonight, with the house asleep and only you listening, that...

Start by speaking very rapidly and breathlessly, running words together. After a sudden pause at 'what?', abruptly shift to a slow, deliberate, and clearly articulated speaking rate.

And then we played tag and I was it and Sarah ran and Tommy hid and... what? Okay. So. First, we went outside to the playground.


Start with a relaxed, steady pace and neutral pitch. Suddenly, at 'Actually, wait,' increase vocal tension, raise the pitch slightly, and speak faster to convey sudden concern.

Your blood work looks completely normal, all the markers are within healthy ranges. Actually, wait, let me look at this reading again, something's off here.


Before touching a formula, ask: what question am I answering? Which product sells best in winter? Good. Now the spreadsheet has a job. We filter to winter, sort by sales, and there’s your answer. No fancy function needed. Data isn't about tricks. It's about asking the right question first.

Start by whispering secretively and quietly. Suddenly, after a cough, transition to speaking in a normal, full-voiced, and polite tone.

So apparently Jake and Emma were seen together at the movies last night and nobody knew they were even... [cough] Oh, hi Mrs. Johnson, nice weather today.


Start with a low, monotone pitch and heavy vocal fry. Suddenly, at 'But here's the shocking part', shift to a high-pitched, highly dynamic, and clear delivery without vocal fry.

The results of our six-month study are in, and the data shows some interesting patterns. But here's the shocking part - we've achieved a ninety percent success rate!


Start with a loud, tense, and fast-paced delivery. Suddenly, at 'Oh thank goodness', drop to a quiet, breathy, and relaxed tone with a slower speaking rate.

This is absolutely ridiculous, we've been stuck here for forty minutes and haven't moved an inch! Oh thank goodness, finally our exit, we made it.


Start with a relaxed, resonant, and slow delivery. At 'Or was it', suddenly shift to a fast, breathy, and nervous tone as the speaker loses their train of thought.

Back in my day, we used to walk five miles to school through the snow, and we were grateful for it. Or was it three miles? Maybe it was rain? Anyway, it was far.


Speak in a fast, high-pitched, breathless panic. Suddenly drop to a slower, lower-pitched, and relaxed tone with a relieved laugh starting at 'Never mind'.

I completely messed up the entire presentation, all the slides are wrong and the meeting's in ten minutes! [laugh] Never mind, I was looking at the old version.


Start with a quiet, breathy voice. Suddenly transition to a loud, clear, and highly projected voice for the final sentence.

Just a gentle reminder that we need to keep our voices down in the reading area, thank you. Excuse me, stop running in the library right now!


They crowned the boy king in the spring, and by the first frost, three of the men who'd knelt to him were dead: two by poison and one by his own hand. And the boy himself had learned the first and only lesson the throne ever teaches: that mercy is a debt, and every debt comes due.

Begin with a loud, bright, and stable voice. At 'You don't like it?', suddenly drop the volume and pitch, shifting into a breathy, trembling delivery with a noticeable vocal crack.

Look what I made for you, I worked really hard on it and used all my favorite colors! You don't like it? But I thought you'd think it was pretty.


Start with a clear, confident, full-voiced presentation. At 'wait, are we live?', suddenly drop to a quiet, breathy, nervous whisper for the remainder of the sentence.

Welcome to tonight's broadcast where we'll be covering the major stories from around the world. Good evening, I'm... wait, are we live? I'm your host, and we're glad you joined us.


Start with a loud, frantic, and breathless delivery. Suddenly drop to a quiet, defeated whisper after the pause, letting out a heavy sigh before the final apology.

I know I said I'd be home by ten but Jessica's car broke down and we had to wait for her dad and my phone died so I couldn't call and... okay, I'm sorry.


Now, you gotta be patient out here. Fish don't care about your schedule and honestly, that's the medicine. Cast it soft, right along that log line. Let it sit. Shh. There, feel that? Little tap tap. That's him thinking about it. Ain't about catching 'em really, it's about the quiet.

Start with a calm, moderate volume for a neutral discussion. Suddenly shift to a loud, defensive shout at 'How dare you', maintaining the high volume and intense phonation until the end.

Both sides of the debate have valid points that deserve consideration and thoughtful discussion. How dare you accuse me of bias! I've been nothing but fair throughout this entire conversation!


To everyone out there tonight, thank you for loving me. You're the reason I shine, you know that? Okay, okay, and now, just between us, that last song, I didn't write it for the fans. I wrote it for you. The one always in the front row of my heart.

Start at a casual, conversational volume. Suddenly transition to a loud, panicked yell at 'Oh no', maintaining the high volume and intense phonation until the end.

Yeah, I'll meet you there around seven, just need to finish up a few things here first. Oh no, the vase! It's falling! Catch it!


Start with a loud, stern, full-voiced reprimand. Suddenly drop to a quiet, soft, and breathy tone at "Oh sweetheart," maintaining this gentle phonation until the end.

This behavior is completely unacceptable and you know better than to act this way in public. Oh sweetheart, come here, I know you didn't mean it, let's talk about this.


Okay, so here's what I keep coming back to and tell me if I me wrong. You spent 10 years building the thing and then you just walked away. Like, what does that morning feel like? Walk me through the actual Tuesday you decided

Start with a projected, professional broadcast voice. Suddenly drop to a hushed, frantic whisper at 'uh, are we still on air?'

In today's top stories, the stock market reached record highs, the mayor announced new policies, and... uh, are we still on air? Is someone fixing the teleprompter?


Bards would later sing that she was chosen, marked by fate, blessed by the old gods, destined from birth for the quest that would save the world. It made a better song than the truth. The truth is that no one chose her.

Start with a confident, smooth, and projected delivery. Suddenly, after a sharp gasp, transition into a strained, breathy, and quiet whisper of shock.

This vehicle has everything you're looking for: top safety ratings, incredible fuel efficiency, all the latest features. [gasp] Wait, they're charging how much for it now?


Okay, so this recipe changed my entire life. And I know I say that a lot, but this time I mean it more. It's five ingredients, one pan, and it tastes like you spent all day on it. Which, between us, you absolutely did not.

Start speaking in a low, quiet, and grumbling tone. Suddenly, at 'Oh!', transition to a much louder, bright, and sweet voice.

The problem with this entire situation is that nobody wants to take responsibility for their actions anymore. Oh, there's my little one! Come give me a big hug!


Uh, a missing item and cold food? That's a terrible dinner, and I'm sorry. No hoops to jump through. I'm refunding the missing dish right now, and I'm adding a credit for the whole order because cold food isn't what you paid for. Next time you order, the delivery's on us.

Start with a loud, energetic, and jubilant shout. Suddenly, at "The scan shows", drop to a quiet, breathy, and weak whisper of despair.

We did it! We actually won the championship, all that training paid off, this is the best day ever! The scan shows a torn ligament? I'm out for the season?


Fools! Fools! Did you truly think your little friendship could thwart the magnificent Baron Malefacts? Mwa-ha... wait, who touched my doom ray? It was calibrated! Curse you, meddling children, and your unnervingly clever hamster! I shall return!

Start with a hushed, tense whisper. Suddenly transition to a loud, triumphant yell on the words "We won!" and maintain that high volume to the end.

Shh, everyone be really quiet or they'll find us, don't make any noise at all, stay still. We won! We won! They never found us!


Everyone wants the 10 bagger, the overnight rocket. Here's the unsexy truth: consistent, boring investing beats almost everyone chasing the thrill. Buy the broad index, keep buying when it's scary, don't touch it for 20 years. That's it. That's the strategy that quietly makes millionaires.

Start with a calm, methodical, and steady delivery. At the word 'Warning,' suddenly transition to a strained, breathless, and rapid delivery as if experiencing severe physical distress.

Analyzing the atmospheric data, accessing the external sensors, retrieving relevant information, compiling the response. Warning... critical oxygen failure detected. Immediate evacuation required.


Start with a tense, breathless delivery, stumbling slightly. After the first question mark, suddenly exhale deeply, transitioning into a relaxed, smooth, and joyful tone.

So I was wondering if maybe you'd want to, I don't know, possibly get coffee sometime, if you're free? Oh, really? You would? Thank god, I was so nervous.


Let's be honest, nobody's paying triple just to sit closer to the front. So skip the frills you never wanted anyway and put that money toward, oh, actually enjoying the trip. Ridiculously cheap fares, no sneaky nonsense, to the places you actually want to go. Same sky, way smaller price.

Start with a clear, professional tone. Suddenly choke mid-sentence, transitioning into a violent coughing fit, followed by a strained, breathless, and raspy voice for the final apology.

As I was saying earlier, the quarterly reports indicate a significant improvement in overall performance and... excuse me. Sorry, water went down the wrong pipe.


Start with an energetic, clear, and steady voice. Halfway through, suddenly gasp and transition into a strained, breathless, and pained delivery as a severe cramp sets in.

Alright team, we are on the final stretch! Keep that pace steady, you're doing fantastic! Oh—wait, hold on. Ah, cramp. Just... give me a second to catch my breath. That really hurts.


Start speaking at a normal, slightly rushed pace. Suddenly become severely out of breath at 'wait, hold on', finishing the sentence while panting heavily and struggling to speak.

Take the next right, then two lefts, then you'll see the blue building... wait, hold on. I need to stop. Just... park there. Give me a second to breathe.


Start with a flat, monotone delivery expressing dismissive boredom. Suddenly shift to an energetic, fast-paced, and highly intrigued tone at 'Wait', demanding information.

Yeah, whatever, nothing interesting ever happens around here anyway, it's all so dull and predictable. Wait, she said what? Tell me everything right now, don't leave anything out!


Start with a casual, reassuring tone. Suddenly, after a sharp gasp, transition into a panicked, high-volume plea for help as the speaker realizes they are trapped.

I'll be out in just a minute. I'm almost finished getting ready, won't be much longer. [gasp] Wait, help! The door is stuck! I can't get out! Someone help me!


They marched out ten thousand strong, banners bright against a morning that did not know it was their last. By dusk, the river ran a color that has no name. History would call it a great victory. The mothers would call it something else.

Start by warmly sharing a happy memory. At 'If only', suddenly shift to a sorrowful, grieving tone, with the voice trembling as the intent changes to expressing deep loss.

Those were such beautiful summers. We'd spend every day at the lake, laughing and swimming until sunset. If only she were still here to remember them with me. I miss her so much.


Begin with a confident, authoritative delivery for a formal presentation. Suddenly, at 'Um, wait...', shift to a hesitant, muttered, and informal tone as the speaker loses their place.

The implementation of this new system will streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve overall efficiency across all departments. Um, wait... where was I? Just give me a second to find my notes.


You landed, you're tired. The last thing you need is a line, a lecture, and a stack of forms. So we cut all that. Reserve in seconds, skip the counter, grab your keys, and drive off into whatever adventure you flew here for. Clean cars, honest rates, zero run-around. Wheels down, wheels turning.

Start with a casual, conversational tone. Suddenly shift to a mocking, exaggeratedly whiny voice for the quote starting at 'Sorry everyone', then snap back to genuine disbelief for the final sentence.

So then he comes into the meeting twenty minutes late with no excuse whatsoever. And he's like, 'Sorry everyone, I didn't know it started at nine, nobody told me about the time change.' Can you believe this guy?


Before there was light, there was a question. Not asked by any voice, for there were no voices; asked, if you can imagine it, by the darkness itself: what would it be like to be something, rather than nothing?

Start with a comforting, validating tone. Suddenly shift to an alarmed and urgent tone at 'Wait', changing the intent from offering reassurance to directing immediate action.

I hear what you're saying, and I want you to know that your feelings are completely valid and understandable. Wait, he threatened you with what? We need to call the police immediately.


Start by whispering a nervous commentary. Suddenly, at 'Ahhh!', transition instantly into a loud, terrified scream of panic.

This part is getting spooky. I don't like when it gets all dark and quiet like this, something bad always happens... Ahhh! It jumped out! Turn it off!


Start with a confident, boastful tone. Suddenly, at 'Oh wow okay', shift to a desperate, strained plea for help as the intense heat kicks in, gasping for air.

This doesn't look that spicy honestly, I've had way hotter things than this before, no problem. Oh wow okay that's... that's really hitting me now... water please... my mouth is on fire!


So, the mortal returns to the queen's court. Bold. You could ask me for anything. Power, riches, vengeance. They all do. But you just... look at me like I'm a person, not a bargain. Do you have any idea how long it's been since someone did that? Careful, little thing.

Start by calmly and patiently explaining the situation. Then, suddenly snap into a frustrated, loud, and commanding tone for the final sentence.

Honey, I need you to put your shoes on so we can leave, we've talked about this several times now. For the last time, put your shoes on NOW or we're not going anywhere!


Start with a grumbling, dismissive tone, complaining to yourself. Suddenly, at 'Oh,' shift to a warm, affectionate, and welcoming greeting.

Back in my day we didn't complain about a little rain. People today are just too soft, absolutely no appreciation for... Oh, well hello there! How's my favorite person doing today?
