Use voice tags in three steps
- 01
Write the plain script
Make sure the copy sounds natural and clear before adding any tags.
- 02
Mark real transitions
Insert a tag only when emotion, pace or character action genuinely changes.
- 03
Listen in context
Preview the sentences before and after the tag to judge the full transition.
Not every voice supports expressive tags. The workbench shows the tag inserter only when the selected voice exposes the required capability.
