Nowadays, I'd check with the narrator about their preferences re: font, size, etc.
The script could be within a two-column table:
- Each row of the table would represent one audio clip.
- The first column would contain the text to be read.
- The second column would contain the name that the audio file should be given.
Other tips:
- For initialisms, put hyphens between the letters to indicate each letter is pronounced separately. For example: "F-B-I."
- Include pronunciations where they might be needed, such as for industry-specific terms.
- Spell out how you want numbers to be pronounced. For example: instead of "1100," you might have "one thousand and one hundred" or "eleven hundred."

Hi Heather! Thanks for posting your question here! Judy shared some really helpful ideas and tips. I agree that it's a good idea to check with the narrator first. They may already have a list of how they want the files prepared. This article also has some great pointers on making the script-writing process efficient and effective - More Than a Dozen Tips for Writing Awesome Audio Narration Scripts. I hope that helps!
