Masculine: Plume

Masculine, middle-aged, mid-Atlantic accent. Characterized by impeccable comedic timing, long pregnant pauses, and a dry, deadpan delivery. The voice is smooth but carries a subtle, self-deprecating vanity. High emotional control with a signature 'slow burn' frustration. Pacing is deliberate, often using silence as a punchline. Polished, theatrical, and conversational.

Prompt: Masculine, middle-aged, mid-Atlantic accent. Characterized by impeccable comedic timing, long pregnant pauses, and a dry, deadpan delivery. The voice is smooth but carries a subtle, self-deprecating vanity. High emotional control with a signature 'slow burn' frustration. Pacing is deliberate, often using silence as a punchline. Polished, theatrical, and conversational.

Script: I took the trouble to arrive impeccably on time, only to discover the evening had already collapsed without me. Which is flattering, in a bleak, faintly personal sort of way.
