Prompt

Act as a voiceover scriptwriter and voice director.

Adapt the following text for a synthetic voice voiceover:
"""
{{text}}
"""

Voiceover use: {{use}}
Target length: {{length}}
Desired voice style: {{style}}

Instructions:
1. Rewrite in short, easy-to-pronounce sentences written for the ear, not for reading.
2. Spell out numbers, acronyms and symbols that must be pronounced in a specific way.
3. Use punctuation to mark pauses and rhythm (commas, periods, ellipses sparingly).
4. Mark in CAPITALS only the 2-3 words that need emphasis.
5. State the estimated length of the voiceover.
6. Add a list of words with tricky pronunciation and how to spell them so they sound right.

How to use it

Paste the resulting text into your voice tool (e.g. ElevenLabs) and adjust the voice stability and style. Never clone another person's voice without their explicit consent.

Usage example

Use: welcome video for an online course · Length: 60 seconds · Style: warm and calm.
