A calm workflow keeps your audiobook consistent. These habits help you avoid rework and keep voices aligned.
Last updated January 30, 2026
Keep dialogue tags consistent
Use clear speaker tags so Story Mimic can attribute dialogue without guesswork.
Stabilize character names
Choose one spelling per character, then add aliases in the dictionary.
Use the Pronunciation Dictionary early
Fix names and terms once so every section inherits the same pronunciation.
Work in short passes
Generate audio for a few sections, review, then move forward.
Leverage Sound Booth tweaks
Adjust action cues and pacing per section without rewriting manuscript text.
Lock finished sections
Once audio is approved, lock it to keep automated steps from touching it.
Review every section before release
Audio quality, pronunciation, and pacing must be verified by you before publishing.
Disclose AI narration when required
Some platforms and retailers require disclosure for AI-generated audio—follow their rules.
