How to Create a Magician TTS Voice

• Wise, Calm Voice - Reflects profound knowledge and tranquility.

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

• Stability Slider: Set the stability slider to a higher value, around 70-90. This ensures a consistent and wise tone.
• Similarity Slider: Set the similarity slider to a mid-range value, around 50-70. This ensures a balanced and powerful tone.

Using the Exaggeration Slider

The exaggeration slider in ElevenLabs TTS can be useful when trying to achieve a specific tone such as 'Magician-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 wise and powerful.

For a Magician Tone

To make the voice sound more Magician-like, you can set the exaggeration slider to a higher value. This will enhance the mysterious and powerful characteristics, making the voice sound more transformative and confident.

Example Routine

• Set the exaggeration slider to a value between 60-80. This amplifies the Magician 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.

Text Formatting and Structure

• Short Sentences: Use shorter sentences for clarity and to convey a more direct or impactful tone.
