| Gentle Storyteller Female | f94c3bef4c264fa296b23d67c4fa6a38 |

| Voice | reference_id | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Emily (meditation) | a325095a7cc049cebf39b1de9464fc73 |
"doesn't quite do it"; also Fish speed knob too coarse to fix her pace |
| Female Whispering (ASMR) | f06431add405433ba777a323911f0dfd |
"creepy", niche |
The round-2 keepers cooled on a second listen, so we trialed the most-liked female-leaning voices.
| Voice | reference_id | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| british female (♥71) | 32e344f53f114cfcbb7ed086f10f2403 | FRONT-RUNNER - "a lot of potential, kinda sounds like Charlotte"; bedded for trial. Continuity bonus with the ElevenLabs demos. |
| CALM- NORMAL (♥631) | 0b74ead073f2474a904f69033535b98e | male - very good, "movie-trailer voice", slow + deep → maybe a sleep audio / trailer |
| Sleep (♥168) | 8a5a849eff184046ae6bdb9a1825165c | male - great voice |
| calm (♥54) | f281f234a1d04a929ade9f676ed7c441 | male - good |
| Female Voice (♥308) | 2a9605eeafe84974b5b20628d42c0060 | female - good for talking/reading, "probably not affirmations" |
| Alluring female (♥123) | 8ac193f2ae964c02ad0ef4f93d09e5d6 | awful, unusable - drop |
Note: we now have several decent male voices (CALM-NORMAL, Sleep, calm) - candidates for The Mirror (the male reading voice) per [[product-taxonomy-names]].
audio_qc.py.prosody.speed is coarse: 0.88 vs 0.93 produced near-identical length. For real pace changes, move in bigger steps or trim inter-sentence silence directly./media mount.
