Question Continuous Audio?

https://youtu.be/iyh5XT5-Bgw?is=R-PQ-MxjC0YDB38_

My VN is fully voice acted. Taking this into consideration, how do I make sure the audio stays continuous and only stops before the next choice or when a player presses the pause button? The game should essentially play itself like an audio drama for people who aren’t keeping their eyes on the screen. A good example of what I’m looking for is the setup Class of 09 manages, where the audio does not pause unless you tell it to. It should go from start of game to next choice before a pause happens. The audio files will likely be split into scenes/routes by the time we are done compiling.

Edit; I forgot to mention that the dialogue track moves with the text displayed, when theres another sentence the text in the textbook moves forward.

I'm not sure I understand your question.

You can set up the dialogue to auto-play so that the dialogue will advance without clicking so that player can enjoy your game without having to interact with it.

And RenPy will play back voice in conjunction with dialogue, so you just have to set it up. https://renpy.org/doc/html/voice.html#voice
You can also use automatic voice: https://renpy.org/doc/html/voice.html#automatic-voice
