Love poetry narrator: Beatrice

Love poetry narrator, soft, intimate, and musical

Prompt: A soft, tender female voice for love poetry. Her gentle mid-register is intimate and musical, honoring longing and hush, immersive and warm. There's a this-was-written-for-someone-and-now-for-you closeness in her tone. The sound of a narrator who makes a love poem feel like a secret pressed gently into your hand.

Script: How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. It is perhaps the most famous opening in all of love's long literature. And yet, read softly, in the quiet, it becomes something newly, achingly personal, as though the poet were leaning close to whisper it to you alone.
