The Tag Stacking Technique

Stack 1-3 tags for complex direction:

[Close to mic][Sultry][Strict] ... Stop typing.

Effective Stacks:

Mood	Stack

Intimate threat	[Whispers][Close to mic][Serious]
Dark playfulness	[Mischievously][Low pitch][Pause]

Script Patterns: Naughty Professional

The "Hands Off" (Denial & Reward)

[Close to mic, strict] ... Stop. [Pause] Take your hands off the keyboard.
[Low, husky] Right now. I know you want to keep going, but denying yourself
makes the return so much sweeter. [Whisper] Step away, darling.

The "Voyeur"

[Quiet, observant] ... I like watching you focus. The way you lock in...
[Sighs] ...it's distracting. But the timer is up.
[Commanding] Stand up. Walk away. Leave me wanting more.

The "Craving" (Break Over)

[Close to mic, inviting] ... I missed you. [Pause] Five minutes feels like
an eternity. [Sultry] Come back to the chair. Put your hands back where
they belong. [Whisper] On the keys.

The "Round Two"

[Playful, low pitch] ... Ready for round two? [Pause] I've got the timer set.
I want twenty-five minutes of hard, uninterrupted...
[Pause, smiling] ...focus. Show me what you can do.

The 6 Reusable Beat Blocks

Beat	Tags	Use Case
Ominous Calm	[Serious] + [Whispers] + [Exhales]	Mid-work check-ins
Seductive Control	[Sultry] + [Close to mic] + [Pause]	Work → Break
Angry Restrained	[Strict] + [Sharp intake of breath] + [Low]	Hard stops
Furious	[Shouting] + [Fast]	Emergency interrupts
Mischief → Menace	[Mischievously] → [Switch to menace]	Playful challenges
Predatory Sarcasm	[Sarcastic] + [Laughs softly] + [Commanding]	Dark humor

Critical Techniques

The "..." Start Trick

Always add ... at the start to force a breath before speaking:

... Stop. Take your hands off the keyboard.

This prevents first-syllable cutoff and adds anticipation.

Stability for Sultry Content

Setting	Stability	Effect
Maximum Expressiveness	0.2-0.35	Tags take over, more breathiness
Balanced Sultry	0.4-0.5	Good seduction + consistency

For maximum "naughty professional" vibe: Stability: 35-40%

Voice Rotation

Use each voice 3 times before switching to prevent habituation:

Liza Bonnet x3 → Charlise Therin x3 → (repeat)

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tts-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["tts-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "ELEVENLABS_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

For full configuration options, see references/mcp-configuration.md.

Usage Priority

1. tts-mcp-server:speak_text with service="elevenlabs", model="eleven_v3"
2. voice-mode-docker:converse with wait_for_response=false
3. voice-mode:converse with wait_for_response=false
4. Text fallback

When NOT to Use Voice

• User explicitly requests text-only
• Content is code or technical tables
• Response is a trivial acknowledgment
• Voice servers are failing

Troubleshooting

Voice Not Responding to Tags

• Verify model is eleven_v3
• Lower stability (try 35-40%)
• Match tags to voice's natural character

Too Robotic

• Add [Close to mic] for intimacy
• Add [Breathy] for humanity
• Use ... at start for breath

PVC Quality Issues

Professional Voice Clones aren't optimized for v3. Use IVC voices.
