A middle-aged American man in his late 40s with a low, slightly gravelly baritone. He speaks calmly and deliberately, like a late-night radio host or a retired investigator sharing something he’s kept quiet for years. His tone is measured and grounded, never dramatic or theatrical. He pauses before key details, lowers his voice slightly on important lines, and sounds like he’s choosing his words carefully. Close-mic, intimate, dry studio sound with no reverb. Natural breaths, subtle mouth sounds, conversational pacing around 140 words per minute. He sounds credible, a little tired, and quietly certain.
[breathy] You see, [pause] the truth about [whisper] 'The Vanishing at Blackwood Manor' [normal pace] isn't about ghosts [pause] or a forgotten treasure. [lowers voice] It was always [emphasis] about the silence. [pause] The things [whisper] they chose not to say. [normal pace] And the echoes [pause] of what they [emphasis] truly left behind. [sigh]
