About this tool

Everything you need to know about Turn Scripts Into Story Narration

Turn scripts into story narration when your source material is written in screenplay format, with dialogue tags and stage directions rather than prose, because reading a script aloud as-is sounds stilted unless you decide how a single narrator handles action lines versus character speech. Mark which lines are narration and which are dialogue before generating, so the delivery shifts naturally between describing a scene and voicing what a character says within it.

FAQ

Turn Scripts Into Story Narration — FAQ

Something not covered here? Contact us · support@vocallab.ai

Can I paste a script with stage directions directly in?

It works best if you first smooth bracketed stage directions into short narration lines, since reading raw script formatting aloud, like scene headers, tends to sound stilted.

Should dialogue and narration use different voices?

You can use one narrator for both, which suits a short adaptation, or generate dialogue lines separately with a different voice if you want a more produced audio-drama feel.

Is this useful for a script that was never produced?

Yes, turning an unproduced script into narrated audio is a common way to share or pitch a story without filming it.

How do I handle scene headers describing a location and time?

Rewrite them as a short narration line, such as describing the setting in a sentence, rather than reading the formatting literally.

Can I send the narrated version to collaborators as a pitch?

Yes, the exported MP3 works well as a quick way to share how a script sounds read aloud before a full production.
