Meeting ACX Requirements
ACX Check tests technical conformance. Is it loud enough, etc. It doesn’t test for theater and reading style. After the Robot at ACX checks for technical compliance, Human Quality Control takes over and checks for reading style, stuttering, odd breathing noises, etc.
ACX, as a rule hates theatrical effects. You’re creating a book reading not radio theater. The metaphor is reading to kids at the library. The most theatrical I’ve ever heard of is using music as bumpers to a chapter or other interstitial. Not wind sound during a reading of a chapter which takes place in a windstorm.
You can submit a test to ACX before you submit the final.
