Prompt tips for ElevenLabs
Use SSML-style markers like [pause: 500ms] and emphasis tags to control rhythm — ElevenLabs responds well to pacing instructions
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
For emotional scenes, prepend the script line with a direction in parentheses like (whispered, afraid) or (excited, fast) for the AI to interpret
Use Projects mode for audiobooks — it handles chapter-level chunking and maintains voice consistency across thousands of words
