What This Skill Does

Generates expressive text-to-speech audio using the ElevenLabs v3 API with inline emotional audio tags. Supports 70+ languages and produces WhatsApp-compatible voice messages via ffmpeg conversion. Emotional tone, pacing, and delivery are controlled directly in the text using bracket tags like [excited], [whispers], or [pause].

ElevenLabs v3's audio tag system controls emotion and pacing inline, removing the need for separate audio editing after generation.

When to use it

  • Sending emotional voice messages on WhatsApp
  • Narrating horror or suspense stories with audio tags
  • Generating multilingual voice content in Hebrew, Spanish, or French
  • Building multi-speaker podcast segments from a script
  • Converting celebration announcements into expressive audio clips
