The writer is trying to inform the audience.
Listening to a story can affect understanding dramatically. There are several ways it can do this:

When different intonations are used for different characters it can reveal in more depth a character's emotions.
The speed at which particular passages or dialogue is read can affect the way a listener visualizes the action.
