← All questionsElevenLabs reads my cold open like a news anchor — how do I make it sound tired and normal?
About ElevenLabs
It’s for a teaser, not the whole show. I want the voice to sound like someone at 11pm who has said this before. Every setting I try either goes full anchor or goes flat.

Drop stability way down, like 30, and put the pauses in yourself with punctuation. A dash and an ellipsis get read very differently. And write it how you’d say it, with the ‘so’ and the ‘anyway’. The anchor thing is usually the script, not the voice.

Honest answer is I record a scratch of myself doing it tired and use speech-to-speech instead of text. It copies the delivery, not just the words. Takes two minutes and it’s the only thing that gets the sigh right.
YesterdayWren M. and Yusuf A. agree
Following, I want the bus stop guy to sound bored and everything comes out like a trailer.
