Media Toolkit Production

Instructions

Critical Requirements (ALL MUST BE ENFORCED)

1. •

   Accent Persistence - Every ElevenLabs API call MUST include accent descriptor:

   code

   text: "[Irish Midlands accent] Stay close, Jess."
   

2. •

   Clip Reuse from History - Before generating any clip:

   • •Check ElevenLabs History API
   • •If matching text+voice exists → reuse it
   • •Log: "Reusing from history: [id]"
3. •

   Re-Timing Workflow - Local timing adjustment, NO regeneration:

   • •Adjust downstream timing based on actual durations
   • •Zero API calls for timing fixes
4. •

   Zero Voice Overlaps (PRIORITY 1) - Voices NEVER overlap unless intentional

5. •

   Line Refinement - User approval loop:

   • •User: "Line 2 more panicked"
   • •Adjust: stability=0.3, style=0.8, text="[panicked, breathless]..."
   • •Archive both original and rework versions

Script Format

CHARACTER (emotion): dialogue text
[SFX: description, duration: 5s, volume: 0.8]

Production Workflow

1. •Load character database (Notion)
2. •Parse script (dialogue + SFX)
3. •Generate timeline
4. •Detect overlaps
5. •Generate audio (v3 with history reuse)
6. •Optimize timing
7. •Mix audio (FFmpeg)

DO NOT

• •Generate audio without checking history first
• •Omit accent descriptors from any API call
• •Allow voice overlaps without explicit marking
• •Regenerate clips for timing adjustments

DO

• •Always include accent in text prompt
• •Check history → archive → then generate if needed
• •Preserve both original and reworked versions
• •Track and report token usage efficiency
