Directing a Synthetic Voice: Latin Phonetics, Voice Design, and Theatrical Text-to-Speech in ElevenLabs
My work with ElevenLabs for THE GALLERY / SIMUL ACTIONS, exploring how Voice Design, text-to-speech tags, and phonetic rewriting can transform a synthetic voice into a theatrical performer. Starting from a Latin text for a tragic coryphaeus and chorus, I describe the process of shaping pronunciation, rhythm, emotional tone, and vocal presence through a form of micro vocal direction.
