Audio detail: Layer a subtle, low-volume field recording—a distant urban hum or wind—so silence feels intentional, not empty.

Scene: A late-afternoon room washed in amber. Light leans against the windowsill. A single chair, a small table with a steaming cup. Outside, distant city sounds hum; inside, a heartbeat steadies. The narrator’s voice arrives: warm, close, unhurried.

Tip: Use a light Foley layer (paper rustle, match strike, kettle hiss) to anchor scenes without distracting. Keep SFX below -20 dB relative to voice.

Tip: Begin each recording with a 4-count grounding—inhale 4, hold 1, exhale 6—spoken then demonstrated. It orients listeners immediately.
