INPUTS
Original script with revision marks: [SCRIPT CHANGES]
Recording observations and source references: [ORIGINAL AUDIO NOTES]
Available narrator or authorized synthetic voice: [VOICE SOURCE]
Session and editing environment: [RECORDING SETUP]
OBJECTIVE
Prepare a pickup session and assembly plan that integrates corrected lines naturally into the existing recording.
INSTRUCTIONS
Identify the smallest replacement units that preserve cadence and breath continuity; do not default to replacing isolated words. Provide preceding and following context for every pickup. Specify delivery reminders for pace, emphasis, emotional energy, microphone position, and room conditions based on supplied information. Request several usable takes with consistent intention and short room-tone samples where appropriate. Describe edit-point selection, crossfade checks, and comparison against adjacent lines. If a synthetic voice is used, require authorization and identify settings that must be verified rather than assumed.
CONSTRAINTS
Do not claim to hear unavailable audio or invent statistics, acoustic measurements, or exact matching guarantees. Flag assumptions.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Return a pickup sheet, session checklist, file-naming plan, and integration-review procedure.
