Transform any text into emotionally expressive audio with ambient soundscapes using ElevenLabs v3 audio tags and Sound Effects API
Transform any text into emotionally expressive audio with ambient soundscapes using ElevenLabs v3 audio tags and Sound Effects API
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Transform any text into emotionally expressive audio with ambient soundscapes. MoodCast analyzes your content, adds expressive delivery using ElevenLabs v3 audio tags, and layers matching ambient soundscapes.
Use MoodCast when the user wants to: Hear text read with natural emotional expression Create audio versions of articles, stories, or scripts Generate expressive voiceovers with ambient atmosphere Listen to morning briefings that actually sound engaging Transform boring text into captivating audio content Trigger phrases: "read this dramatically", "make this sound good", "create audio for", "moodcast this", "read with emotion", "narrate this" Slash command: /moodcast
Automatically analyzes text and inserts appropriate v3 audio tags: Emotions: [excited], [nervous], [angry], [sorrowful], [calm], [happy] Delivery: [whispers], [shouts], [rushed], [slows down] Reactions: [laughs], [sighs], [gasps], [giggles], [crying] Pacing: [pause], [breathes], [stammers], [hesitates]
Creates matching background audio using Sound Effects API: News โ subtle office ambiance Story โ atmospheric soundscape matching mood Motivational โ uplifting background Scary โ tense, eerie atmosphere
For conversations/scripts, assigns different voices to speakers with appropriate emotional delivery.

Uses ElevenLabs Eleven v3 model for audio tag support Sound Effects API for ambient generation (up to 30 seconds) Free tier: 10,000 credits/month (~10 min audio) Max 2,400 characters per chunk (v3 supports 5,000, but we split conservatively for reliability) Audio tags must be lowercase: [whispers] not [WHISPERS]
Dramatic content works best - stories, news, scripts Shorter segments (under 500 chars) sound more natural Combine with ambient for immersive experience Roger and Rachel voices are most expressive with v3
