Prompt tips for ElevenLabs

#1

Use SSML-style markers like [pause: 500ms] and emphasis tags to control rhythm — ElevenLabs responds well to pacing instructions

#2

Choose voice stability settings carefully: lower stability (0.3–0.5) sounds more expressive but inconsistent; higher (0.7–0.9) is flatter but reliable for long-form narration

#3

For emotional scenes, prepend the script line with a direction in parentheses like (whispered, afraid) or (excited, fast) for the AI to interpret

#4

Use Projects mode for audiobooks — it handles chapter-level chunking and maintains voice consistency across thousands of words
