What is one advantage of silently reading a play as opposed to listening to an audio recording?

When you read a play silently, you can use your imagination to picture how each character might sound and what tone they might use. An audio recording supplies those vocal choices for you, while reading does not provide sound effects or actual lighting and staging. Therefore, “Readers can imagine the sound and tone of each character’s voice” is the advantage.
