Narration that keeps up with the cut
Documentary narration changes as the edit changes. Keep each scene, bridge, intro, outro, and archival note in its own block so you can update only the part that changed.

Context-aware delivery
Style instructions
Tell the voice how the scene should feel. Use plain text direction like "Narrate with quiet authority and restrained tension" or "Speak like questioning in reflection"
Inline emotion tags
Add emotional cues inside the script where the delivery needs to shift. Use tags like [Calm], [Tense], [Whispering], or [Sad] to guide specific moments.
Natural pauses
Control silence between ideas, scene turns, and final lines. Add pauses like [short], [medium], [long], or [longer] where the narration needs room to breathe.
Speed control
Slow down archival context, keep interview bridges clear, or tighten trailer narration with per-block speed settings.
Accent and language direction
Create narration across languages and accents, and specify regional delivery directly inside the style instruction. Example: Speak in a Nordic Accent
Context-aware narration
Use voices that follow the surrounding text so the narration feels connected across scenes, instead of sounding like isolated lines.
One script, different documentary reads
Compare how style instructions shape pacing, tension, intimacy, and delivery before you export narration for review.

Create a documentary voiceover step by step
Move from narration draft to scene structure, voice selection, directed delivery, clean revisions, and export-ready audio.
Bring in your narration draft
Start with a script, scene outline, interview bridge, archival note, or rough narration pass. Keep each section as its own editable block.
Organize narration by scene
Split the film into cold open, interview setup, archival context, location bridge, closing reflection, trailer lines, or any structure your cut needs.
Choose the right voice
Use an AI narrator or an approved voice clone for the main narration, subject-led sections, internal review cuts, or localized versions.
Style
Restrained, tense, reflective. Add a long pause before the reveal.
Direct the delivery
Add style instructions, pauses, emotion tags, and speed changes so each scene sounds measured, tense, reflective, urgent, or restrained when needed.
Revise only what changed
When the edit changes, update the exact block that needs work. Regenerate a bridge, replace a line, slow down a scene, or adjust the final reflection without rebuilding the full track.
Export for the edit
Export one full narration pass or split audio by blocks so editors can place each scene directly into the timeline.
Export audio for edit, review, and final mix
Export a single narration file for review, or split audio by blocks so editors can place each scene, bridge, and narration pass directly inside their editing timeline.
