How to Create an Innocent TTS Voice

These (alternative) voice characteristics should help you identify the right professional voice for each archetype from the ElevenLabs Voice Library, aligning perfectly with the emotional range and typical conflicts associated with each archetype.

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

• Stability Slider: Set the stability slider to a higher value, around 60-80. This ensures a consistent and smooth delivery, enhancing the pure nature of the voice.
• Similarity Slider: Set the similarity slider to a mid-range value, around 50-70. This ensures a balance between consistency and natural variation in tone.

Using the Exaggeration Slider

The exaggeration slider in ElevenLabs TTS can be useful when trying to achieve a specific tone such as 'Innocent-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 hopeful and joyful.

For an Innocent Tone

To make the voice sound more Innocent-like, you can set the exaggeration slider to a higher value. This will enhance the hopeful and empathetic characteristics, making the voice sound more engaging and pure.

Example Routine

• Set the exaggeration slider to a value between 70-90. This amplifies the Innocent 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.

Optimize Punctuation and Pauses for Innocent Voices

Enhance Expressiveness with Proper Punctuation

Punctuation plays a critical role in making your TTS outputs sound natural and engaging. Here are some tips for using punctuation to enhance an Innocent voice:

• Exclamation Marks (!): Use exclamation marks to add excitement and energy to the speech, conveying a joyful and hopeful tone.
• Ellipses (...): Use ellipses to indicate trailing off or hesitation, suggesting a vulnerable or thoughtful tone.
• Question Marks (?): Use question marks to create a questioning or naive tone, enhancing the innocence.
• Commas (,): Use commas to create short pauses, adding a gentle and empathetic flow to the speech.
• Quotation Marks (" "): Use quotation marks to denote dialogue or to emphasize trust and hopeful speech.

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.
• Highlighting Hopefulness: Capitalize words that emphasize the Innocent’s hopeful nature. For instance, “This is a Wonderful day!”

Text Formatting and Structure

• Short Sentences: Use shorter sentences for clarity and to convey a more direct or hopeful 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 [hopefully], [joyfully], [empathetically] to specify the intended emotion or tone. For example: "It's such a beautiful day! [joyfully]"
• Stage Directions: Include brief stage directions to suggest how something should be said, e.g., "The Innocent smiled warmly, 'I'm so glad you're here!' [joyfully]"

Contextual Clarity

• Descriptive Context: Add descriptions or context before dialogue to set the scene. For example: "The Innocent smiled warmly, 'I'm so glad you're here!' [joyfully]"
• 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.
