## Documentation

### MoodCast

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.

### When to Use This Skill

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

### 1. Emotion-Aware Text Enhancement

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]

### 2. Ambient Soundscape Generation

Creates matching background audio using Sound Effects API:

News → subtle office ambiance
Story → atmospheric soundscape matching mood
Motivational → uplifting background
Scary → tense, eerie atmosphere

### 3. Multi-Voice Dialogue

For conversations/scripts, assigns different voices to speakers with appropriate emotional delivery.

### Quick Read (Single Command)

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/moodcast.py --text "Your text here"

### With Ambient Sound

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/moodcast.py --text "Your text here" --ambient "coffee shop background noise"

### Save to File

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/moodcast.py --text "Your text here" --output story.mp3

### Different Moods

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/moodcast.py --text "Your text" --mood dramatic
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/moodcast.py --text "Your text" --mood calm
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/moodcast.py --text "Your text" --mood excited
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/moodcast.py --text "Your text" --mood scary

### List Available Voices

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/moodcast.py --list-voices

### Custom Configuration

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/moodcast.py --text "Your text" --voice VOICE_ID --model eleven_v3 --output-format mp3_44100_128

### Emotion Detection Rules

The skill automatically detects and enhances:

Text PatternAudio Tag Added"amazing", "incredible", "wow"[excited]"scared", "afraid", "terrified"[nervous]"angry", "furious", "hate"[angry]"sad", "sorry", "unfortunately"[sorrowful]"secret", "quiet", "between us"[whispers]"!" exclamations[excited]"..." trailing off[pause]"haha", "lol"[laughs]QuestionsNatural rising intonation

### Example Transformations

Input:

Breaking news! Scientists have discovered something incredible. 
This could change everything we know about the universe...
I can't believe it.

Enhanced Output:

[excited] Breaking news! Scientists have discovered something incredible.
[pause] This could change everything we know about the universe...
[gasps] [whispers] I can't believe it.

Input:

It was a dark night. The old house creaked. 
Something moved in the shadows...
"Who's there?" she whispered.

Enhanced Output:

[slows down] It was a dark night. [pause] The old house creaked.
[nervous] Something moved in the shadows...
[whispers] "Who's there?" she whispered.

### Environment Variables

ELEVENLABS_API_KEY (required) - Your ElevenLabs API key
MOODCAST_DEFAULT_VOICE (optional) - Default voice ID (defaults to CwhRBWXzGAHq8TQ4Fs17)
MOODCAST_MODEL (optional) - Default model ID (defaults to eleven_v3)
MOODCAST_OUTPUT_FORMAT (optional) - Default output format (defaults to mp3_44100_128)
MOODCAST_AUTO_AMBIENT (optional) - Set to "true" for automatic ambient sounds when using --mood

Configuration Priority: CLI arguments override environment variables, which override hardcoded defaults.

### Technical Notes

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]

### Tips for Best Results

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
