Script Patterns: Naughty Professional

The "Hands Off" (Denial & Reward)

[Close to mic, strict] ... Stop. [Pause] Take your hands off the keyboard. [Low, husky] Right now. I know you want to keep going, but denying yourself makes the return so much sweeter. [Whisper] Step away, darling.

The "Voyeur"

[Quiet, observant] ... I like watching you focus. The way you lock in... [Sighs] ...it's distracting. But the timer is up. [Commanding] Stand up. Walk away. Leave me wanting more.

The "Craving" (Break Over)

[Close to mic, inviting] ... I missed you. [Pause] Five minutes feels like an eternity. [Sultry] Come back to the chair. Put your hands back where they belong. [Whisper] On the keys.

The "Round Two"

[Playful, low pitch] ... Ready for round two? [Pause] I've got the timer set. I want twenty-five minutes of hard, uninterrupted... [Pause, smiling] ...focus. Show me what you can do.

Critical Techniques

The "..." Start Trick

Always add ... at the start to force a breath before speaking:

... Stop. Take your hands off the keyboard.

This prevents first-syllable cutoff and adds anticipation.

Stability for Sultry Content

Setting Stability Effect

Maximum Expressiveness 0.2-0.35 Tags take over, more breathiness

Balanced Sultry 0.4-0.5 Good seduction + consistency

For maximum "naughty professional" vibe: Stability: 35-40%

Voice Rotation

Use each voice 3 times before switching to prevent habituation:

Liza Bonnet x3 → Charlise Therin x3 → (repeat)

Configuration

Usage Priority

• tts-mcp-server:speak_text with service="elevenlabs", model="eleven_v3"

• voice-mode-docker:converse with wait_for_response=false

• voice-mode:converse with wait_for_response=false

• Text fallback

When NOT to Use Voice

• User explicitly requests text-only

• Content is code or technical tables

• Response is a trivial acknowledgment

• Voice servers are failing

Troubleshooting

Voice Not Responding to Tags

• Verify model is eleven_v3

• Lower stability (try 35-40%)

• Match tags to voice's natural character

Too Robotic

• Add [Close to mic] for intimacy

• Add [Breathy] for humanity

• Use ... at start for breath

PVC Quality Issues

Professional Voice Clones aren't optimized for v3. Use IVC voices.
