Create a warm, friendly female voice with a slight Irish accent

that would be good for narrating a children's story.

Produce a good voice description and sample text by asking

Then, give me several options and iterate based on my feedback.

I have the text of a blog post that I'd like to listen to in my
2
Downloads folder. Can you read it to me in an appropriate voice?

  * Every line of quoted dialogue should be its own segment
15
  * Quotation marks should be removed from segments that are 
16
    solely dialogue.

  * Use the following formatting for segments

  * Descriptions for a new voice should be 2 sentences MAX.
36
    Sample text should be 2 sentences MAX.
37
  * Don't use source text for the sample text -- invent new 
38
    text that is stylized to reflect the character and emotion
39
    of the desired voice.
40
  * To generate a variant, ALWAYS specify the base voice as
41
    `voiceName`.
42
  * Descriptions should be VERY short and describe one or two
43
    voice qualities (masculinity, pitch, pace) that should vary
44
    from the base voice.

  * Never send acting instructions "description" unless it is

    provided in the script.

Let's get started with step 1!

1
To make it sound like the narrator is "doing a voice" you have to create
2
a voice with more distance from the base narrator voice than you can get
3
by generating a single iteration of providing acting instructions to 
4
modulate the voice. You can do this through "variant chaining".
5
6
* Start with the base voice.
7
* Pick one or two qualities of the voice that are different than the base
8
  voice to emphasize in the acting instructions and source text.
9
* Create and save {variant_voice}_0.
10
* Create new acting instructions and source text, use them create and 
11
  save {variant_voice}_1 using {variant_voice}_0 as a base.
12
* Repeat until the results are satisfactory.

14
Often times 2 variants is enough for a character of the same gender. You 
15
might need 3 or more variants emphasizing masculinity for a character of 
16
the opposite gender.
