# Read the deck's narrator.

`GET /pitch-decks/{jobId}/narrator`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://docs.sleeperhit.studio/api/v1`
- URL: `https://docs.sleeperhit.studio/api/v1/pitch-decks/{jobId}/narrator`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Returns the voice every narrated line of the deck (chapter narration, lines over black) is spoken in, and where it comes from (`source`): `override` (cast for this deck), `cast_canon` (the cast canon's NARRATOR), `table_read_voice_map` (the table read's NARRATOR) or `default` (the default narrator). A deck's narrator speaks every line the narrator carries (chapter narration and lines over black). It resolves in one order: the voice cast for THIS deck (`set_pitch_deck_narrator`), else the cast canon's NARRATOR, else the table read's NARRATOR, else the default narrator. Casting or clearing it is free; on a rendered deck the narrated lines are voiced again in the new voice and the master is re-assembled, at no charge. Scope: `story:read`.

## Response `200`
