My problem is that I never sat down and wrote a whole process. I know surgically how to deal with portions of the process…
Record the work, File > Export a WAV backup, errors and all. Then dig in and edit your brains out. If you can’t see the blue waves large or clearly enough to do good editing, then you can do a volume boost with Effect > Amplify > OK. That will boost the show as much as possible without overloading. You have to do this to the whole show, not portions. Mastering will not split up a chapter and it’s not a Compressor.
Alternatively, you can read it again and do it louder. Your raw reading should have occasional tips and peaks to about -6dB to -10dB (-6dB is 50%).
If you failed to read your work in a quiet, echo-free environment, then most of this isn’t going to work right. Get or make your environment and read it again.
