How do i make scripts with multiple characters more comfortable for the voice actor?

I wrote the first part of my script and i don't feel it would be comfortable for the actor.

Even the Blair Witch Project has more than one actor but this, this is a single actor-movie.

put the lines in order so they have context

Write it as a scene, not individual lines. Actors need context. I want to know what line I'm responding to and what's going on in the scene. Yeah, I can throw a bunch of shit at the wall and you can piece together a performance out of it, but it's MUCH easier and you'll get better results if they know what's happening.
