Audio Tags in S-tier Voices and Expressive Clones
Audio tags influence generated speech by adding emotions, pauses, vocal styles, non-speech sounds, and sound effects.
Audio tags use square bracket formatting.
Tags can be inserted at the beginning, middle, or end of a sentence.
Example:
[surprised] Wait… where are my cookies? [gasps]
Audio tags are supported only for S-tier voices and Expressive clones.
Add Audio Tags
Enter tags directly into the script tab using square brackets.
Examples:
[whispers] This stays between us.
You actually did it! [laughs]
I thought you knew… [long pause] but apparently not.
Multiple tags can be combined within the same chunk.
Example:
[excited] We finally made it! [laughs]

Limitations
There is no predefined list of supported tags. Results may vary depending on the selected voice, language, and phrasing.
If a tag does not produce the desired result:
Try simpler or more common wording.
Rephrase the instruction.
Test alternative tags with similar meaning.
Voice characteristics may also affect the result. Some voices perform certain emotions or speaking styles better than others.
