Narrative Performance Engine

Active Engineering

A provider-agnostic pipeline for expressive spoken storytelling.

A provider-agnostic engine that moves text through interpretation, casting, direction and memory before it ever becomes sound. Voices and pronunciations persist across a work, so characters stay themselves from the first page to the last. Voice and model providers are interchangeable surfaces; the interpretation layer is the product.
