Do these concrete steps: 1) Lower ElevenLabs “stability” to ~0.2–0.5 and keep similarity_boost moderate so the voice moves more. 2) Convert long sentences into shorter chunks and synthesize per sentence, then stitch. 3) Use SSML: add , for emphasis, and key words. 4) Use ChatGPT to output your script annotated with emotion cues and SSML tags for each sentence.
