What is structure across time?Show answer
Without pages, structure is purely temporal. You are arranging an experience that unfolds second by second. Strong audio work often establishes a sonic motif early and returns to it, uses recurring sound to mark sections, and paces revelation carefully because the listener cannot jump ahead. Mapping the work as a timeline rather than a page layout is the natural way to plan it.
What is the supporting script?Show answer
You submit a script alongside the audio. This is not an afterthought; it is the document that shows the work was composed rather than improvised. It should capture not only spoken words but the intended sound design, cues and structure, so that the audio's deliberate construction is legible. Treat the script as part of the evidence that the composition was crafted.
