Use this structure to guide AI voice generators like OpenAI.fm so your voiceovers sound human, expressive, and on-brand.

✅ Step-by-step Prompt Guide:

1. Start your prompt like this:

Voice Affect: [Describe the overall sound/mood of the voice. Is it calm, lively, grounded, etc.?]

Tone: [Describe the personality—friendly, professional, empathetic, etc.]

Pacing: [Is it slow and thoughtful? Steady and confident? Fast and upbeat?]

Emotion: [What subtle emotion should the voice express? Wonder, joy, empathy, etc.]

Pronunciation: [Should the words be crisp? Natural? Emphasized in certain parts?]

Pauses: [Where should it pause for effect, clarity, or emotion?]

🧠 Example Prompt:

Voice Affect: Calm, composed, and reassuring—project quiet authority and confidence.

Tone: Sincere, empathetic, and gently authoritative.

Pacing: Steady and moderate; unhurried enough to communicate care.

Emotion: Genuine warmth and understanding.

Pronunciation: Clear and precise, with emphasis on key phrases.

Pauses: Brief pauses between ideas to let thoughts breathe.

🔁 You can tweak it for different styles:

• For documentaries: “Voice Affect: grounded and reflective…”
• For ads: “Voice Affect: upbeat and energetic…”
• For tutorials: “Voice Affect: friendly and instructional…”

🔍 Identity (Voice Signature)

Identity: [Describe the voice’s unique character or match. Is it cloned from a real person? Does it mimic a gender, age, accent, or celebrity style?]

This controls how much the AI voice sounds like a specific person—useful for:

• Voice cloning (you, a client, a narrator)
• Character consistency across content
• Branded voice personas
