ElevenLabs sounds fine on one line but goes flat and fast on a 3-minute read. Do I have to chop it up?

   Yes, chop it. I send one paragraph per request and stitch the files, and I leave a blank line between paragraphs so it takes a breath. The long generations drift no matter what I set stability to.

   Paragraph per request did it. Wrote a little Python loop that splits on blank lines and concatenates the wavs with pydub. Good enough for a scratch track.

   Also check which model. The multilingual one drifts less for me on long stuff than the newer expressive one, which is great for a line and terrible for five minutes.

   Following, I have the same thing on the storyboard narration.
