Raspy voice: Charlotte

Raspy voice, husky, weathered, and sultry

Prompt: A female voice worn down to a smoky rasp—low, husky, and roughened at the edges, like a jazz singer after a long night. The tone is gravel-lined but warm, words scraping out with a frayed, lived-in texture, half-sung and knowing. There's a weathered, sultry cool to it, worldly and unbothered. It sounds like a voice that has laughed hard, smoked more, and has absolutely nothing left to prove.

Script: Honey, I've been singing in smoky rooms since before you were born. And it shows, doesn't it? Voice like a rusty hinge. But you know what? Folks pay good money for a rasp like this. It's got miles on it. It's got stories. Smooth voices are a dime a dozen. This one... this one's been lived in.
