Question

What is one possible advantage of hearing the characters’ voices as opposed to silently reading the scene?

Answer 1

Answer: it helps listeners keep track of which woman is speaking.

Answer 2

One possible advantage would be that the actors´ or readers´ rendition of the characters´ voices —especially if they are aesthetically pleasing— could add depth and dimension to the characters and the scene that a silent reading would risk making monotonous. By hearing the voices out loud a whole new sense and meaning to the scene could arise.
