+### Page 1 Audio Improvement Trial
+
+Captured on 2026-07-08: Page 1 narration felt too plain, with phrases gluing together and not enough emotion. A comparison trial was generated using performance text with warmer storytelling direction, clearer pauses, and more deliberate pacing.
+
+Performance direction used:
+
+- Warm bedtime-story opening.
+- Slightly magical/hushed tone for “Once upon a time.”
+- Wider pause before the castle setting.
+- Gentle affection when introducing the father/king.
+- Clear pauses between the princess names.
+- Soft concluding tone for “They were blessed...”
+
+Artifacts:
+
+- Folder: `/home/adolforeyna/output/tactility-book-packages/page1-audio-comparison/`
+- Comparison ZIP: `/home/adolforeyna/output/tactility-book-packages/page1-audio-comparison/page001-audio-comparison.zip`
+- Adolfo segmented version: `page001_adolfo_segmented_24k.mp3`, 20.628s, SHA256 `42dff81746ea1a708826a9f87c8654ee200e2669faed5956e338a10c6b72a2d1`
+- Aiden version: `page001_aiden_24k.mp3`, 26.100s, SHA256 `25b88aaf438ed23abcbff63052a3937a9bd959384ee0fde3d0a9bdf79f54b632`
+- Original package Page 1 was 15.840s, so both trials are slower and should reduce phrase-gluing.
+
+If one version is approved, replace only `books/grace-poppy/page001.mp3` in the Tactility package first, then regenerate the package ZIP.

 ## Correction Workflow Ideas
 
 Corrections should be recorded as structured page-level notes rather than ad hoc prompts.
