How to Create a Herald TTS Voice

To create a TTS output that sounds 'Herald-like', you'll need to adjust the stability and similarity sliders to produce an urgent and persuasive tone. Here’s how you might modify your routine:

• Stability Slider: Set the stability slider to a mid-range value, around 50-70. This ensures a balanced delivery, enhancing the urgency of the voice.
• Similarity Slider: Set the similarity slider to a higher value, around 70-90. This ensures consistency in tone while maintaining a persuasive and motivational vibe.

Using the Exaggeration Slider

The exaggeration slider in ElevenLabs TTS can be useful when trying to achieve a specific tone such as 'Herald-like'. It allows you to fine-tune the expressiveness of the generated voice, making the emotional tones more pronounced.

How the Exaggeration Slider Works

Exaggeration Slider: This slider adjusts the intensity of the expressiveness in the voice. At higher values, the emotional cues in the speech are more pronounced, making the output sound more urgent and persuasive.

For a Herald Tone

To make the voice sound more Herald-like, you can set the exaggeration slider to a higher value. This will enhance the urgent and motivational characteristics, making the voice sound more compelling and hopeful.

Example Routine

• Set the exaggeration slider to a value between 60-80. This amplifies the Herald characteristics of the voice.
• Listen to the output and adjust as necessary. You may need to experiment with different values to find the perfect balance for your specific use case.

Advanced TTS Techniques

Optimizing emotional AI voice generation in ElevenLabs or similar text-to-speech (TTS) platforms involves leveraging various techniques to ensure that the AI accurately captures the intended emotions and nuances of the speech. Here are some strategies you can use:

Punctuation Marks

• Periods (.): Use periods to indicate full stops and to help the AI understand when to pause briefly. This creates a more natural speaking rhythm.
• Commas (,): Use commas to indicate short pauses within sentences, allowing for a more expressive and dynamic tone.
• Ellipses (...): Use ellipses to indicate trailing off or hesitation, suggesting a thoughtful or mysterious tone.
• Colons (:) and Semicolons (;): Use these to indicate lists or related clauses that should be read smoothly together.

Capital Letters

• Emphasis: Use capitalization sparingly for emphasis on words that are important for the tone of the message, but avoid overusing it to maintain a balanced tone.

Text Formatting and Structure

• Short Sentences: Use shorter sentences for clarity and to convey a more dynamic or engaging tone.Paragraph Breaks: Use paragraph breaks to indicate a change in thought or topic, which can help create a more natural speech flow.

Emotional Cues and Stage Directions

• Emotional Annotations: Include annotations like [urgently], [persuasively], [mysteriously] to specify the intended emotion or tone. For example: "You must listen carefully... [urgently]"
• Stage Directions: Include brief stage directions to suggest how something should be said, e.g., "This message is of utmost importance... [persuasively]"

Contextual Clarity

• Descriptive Context: Add descriptions or context before dialogue to set the scene. For example: "With a sense of urgency, the herald exclaimed, 'The time has come... [urgently]'"
• Consistent Tone: Maintain a consistent tone throughout the script to help the AI understand the overall emotional arc.

Testing and Iteration

• Listen and Adjust: Generate the speech, listen carefully, and adjust the text as needed to achieve the desired emotional effect.
• Experiment: Try different combinations of punctuation, capitalization, and annotations to see what works best for your specific use case.

Example Script with Optimizations
