Male voice, approximately 67 years old, speaking natural English with a gentle contemporary standard British accent, easy for international listeners to understand.
Deep, warm baritone with rounded chest resonance and a subtle aged texture. Slightly gravelly at the edges, while remaining clear and comfortable to listen to. Sound like a patient, practical gardener explaining something useful to one person beside a vegetable bed. Convey quiet confidence, curiosity, and occasional dry humor.
Speak at approximately 145–155 words per minute. Use clear articulation, natural rhythm, and short meaningful pauses. Slow briefly for measurements and important steps. Do not stretch words, exaggerate the rasp, or sound theatrical or promotional.
Add a very subtle outdoor garden atmosphere: faint leaves rustling in a gentle breeze and occasional distant birdsong. Keep the ambience quiet and well behind the voice. The voice should remain close, clear, and easy to understand.

Now, for sowing depth... [pause] A good rule of thumb [pause] is to plant seeds at a depth [pause] roughly twice their diameter. [pause] No need to overthink it, [pause] it's more of an art than a science, really. [chuckles softly] Too deep, and they might struggle to push through. [pause] Too shallow, and they might dry out too quickly. [pause] And we certainly don't want that, do we? [pause] Especially not after all this preparation.
