Best practices

A calm workflow keeps your audiobook consistent. These habits help you avoid rework and keep voices aligned.

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.
