If your mind is wandering or it just seems very silent inside your virtual auditorium, try listening to a piece of music that you feel has some connection to the tone or genre of the story. Instrumental music has the advantage of keeping you in a more intuitive, nonverbal state, while lyrics may give you some cultural inspiration, or awaken a memory or unexpected word synchrony. You can do this as a little break from you concentration, relaxing with your eyes closed, or you can try it with the script and sound map in front of you, allowing the story to interact directly with the rhythms, melodies, harmonies and emotions of the music. I a more obvious musical genre doesn't bring anything new to the inner images, you may be surprised to find out how a classical piece of Beethoven, Debussy, or Bartok may counterpoint a very urban setting and characters, or how jazz or rock may infuse a period with Sonic insights that you had never before considered...
