Dead-room voice: Devon

Dead-room voice, airless, close, and claustrophobic

Prompt: A voice in a tiny, dead-acoustic space—dry, close, and airless, with all reverberation absorbed, as if speaking hidden inside a padded closet or a small soundproof room. The tone is intimate and slightly muffled, uncomfortably close, every word landing flat with no echo at all. There's a claustrophobic, hiding-in-the-dark spatiality to it. It sounds like a whispered voice pressed against you in a cramped, silent space where sound simply stops and goes nowhere.

Script: Shh, shh, keep your voice down. In here, quick, get in and close the door. Okay? Okay, we're okay. Just breathe quietly. In here, no sound gets out. That's why I picked it. All these coats, they just eat the noise. Nobody can hear us, and we can't hear them either, which is the part I hate.
