Sprecher(in) / Kommentator

Explanation:
Thanks for your info. I am leaning towards this solution if there is no mentioning of any specific names of narrators/speakers in the script. Other scripts might include this particular information.
So, AT could stand for audio talent which is the same as voice talent or here a speaker/commentator who handles most of the scenes.
I am not really sure. Any confirmation or correction from colleagues would be great.

http://www.aegee.tv/24.htmlVoice-Over Story (V/O) - The spokesperson/narrator talks, while different pictures are being shown on the screen. Visuals are accompanied by narration from someone off camera.
Voice-Over to Sound (V/O to SOT) - The spokesperson/narrator talks, directly introducing the next scene in the movie and the 100% voice takes over.

at EXT. - DAY

Explanation:
This is difficult without more context, but if this is in the scene heading of a script/screenplay, it is the abbreviation for "Außen/Tag." In English this is abbreviated to EXT. -DAY. (Exterior [shot] -Day)
IT stands for "Innen/Tag: INT.-DAY (Interior [shot]-Day
