AI voices follow your script. Better punctuation and pacing almost always beat “turning every dial” in the mixer.

Punctuation is direction

• Use periods to create clean stops
• Commas create light pauses — useful in lists
• Avoid walls of text without line breaks

Read it out loud first

If you trip over a sentence, the voiceover will too. Rewrite until it feels easy to say in one breath for Shorts.

Match mood to format

Hype hooks need energy; tutorials need clarity. Pick a preset first, then nudge rate or pitch only if the preview needs it.
