Older American narrator (late 40s to early 60s) with a confident, crisp, conversational voice. Sounds like an experienced storyteller who's naturally funny without trying too hard. Clear, sharp articulation with excellent diction and strong enunciation. Warm but authoritative, expressive without being over-the-top. Uses natural pauses, dry wit, subtle sarcasm, and perfectly timed emphasis for punchlines. Moderate-to-fast pacing with varied pitch and energy to keep the story engaging. Authentic, charismatic, and effortless—like a seasoned TikTok creator who knows exactly how to tell a great story. Avoid sounding elderly, slow, gravelly, theatrical, or like a commercial announcer. Avoid monotone, audiobook narration, or an overly polished radio voice.
