Voice acting scripts

Guided meditation scripts

Guided meditation is a voice-over skill of its own: slow, steady, and warm, with long, deliberate pauses. These original scripts include pause marks so you can practise the pacing.

How to practise guided meditation scripts

  • Speak at about 100 to 120 words per minute and honour every pause.
  • Lower your energy, not your clarity. The listener should never strain to hear.
  • Breathe with the script; your breathing guides the listener's.

Every script page includes a teleprompter that scrolls at your chosen words-per-minute pace, with optional recording so you can hear your take straight away.
