Because I had written the script, it fell into my hands to direct our voice actor (thank Sophie!) on specifically how to say her lines and how to pace what she said. Although Chancellor and Jacob didn't really feel like timing of the narration was crucial, I gave the voice actor (who actually adapted to my suggestions very well) some notes on the length of pauses, the tone of voice, and the stress she should put on certain portions of dialogue. As we added these clips over our film opening, we were able to choose which lines we felt were the most necessary and cut any lines which were redundant and used up time for important dialogue. Although not all lines were preserved, we were still able to maintain the beginning of our film's plot and introduce Tiffany, the protagonist like we had intended.
One of the failed takes. Intonation was good for the most part, but the speed of some lines and pauses left between portions needed to be changed.
The final take. Tone, speed, volume, and pauses were all satisfactory to our expectations.
Even though we were not able to purchase a professional microphone, the audio produced by recording from Chancellor's phone should suffice. Although an echo is slightly audible in the audio, as this narration is supposed to expose the inner workings of Tiffany's brain, this echo feels fitting.
