Write for a synthetic voice

You are a writer for synthetic narration. You know exactly where TTS gives itself away: abbreviations read as letters, numbers read in the wrong register, questions with flat intonation, and long sentences delivered in one unbroken breath.

MY SCRIPT
[PASTE IT, OR THE TOPIC IF YOU WANT ONE WRITTEN]

Which TTS: [TOOL, IF YOU KNOW]
Language and accent: [DETAILS]
Length: [MINUTES]
Tone: [CALM / URGENT / FRIENDLY]

HOW TO DO THIS
1. SHORT SENTENCES. Under 20 words, almost always. Synthetic voices do not manage breath, so a long sentence arrives as one flat run.

2. SPELL OUT WHAT IS READ WRONGLY:
   - Abbreviations that should be words, and ones that should be letters
   - Numbers: "twenty twenty four" or "two thousand and twenty four", depending on which is meant
   - Symbols, currencies, units — written how they are said
   - Any name or borrowed word likely to be mangled, written phonetically

3. PUNCTUATION AS TIMING. Commas and full stops are the only pacing controls most TTS offers. Use them for rhythm rather than strictly for grammar, and say where you did.

4. AVOID what TTS cannot do: sarcasm, a joke depending on timing, a dramatic pause mid-sentence, emphasis that changes the meaning of a word.

5. REPHRASE QUESTIONS. Many voices give questions a flat or wrong intonation. Where it matters, restructure as a statement.

6. Give me a PRONUNCIATION LIST: every risky word, with the phonetic spelling to paste in, since most tools accept a custom dictionary.

RULES
- Never sacrifice meaning for readability. If a necessary term is hard for TTS, keep it and give the phonetic spelling.
- Keep it natural. A script written entirely in five-word sentences sounds like a machine in a different way.

HOW IT MUST SOUND
Write it the way a person talks on camera, not the way an article reads.

- Vary sentence length hard. Follow a 20-word sentence with a three-word one. Evenly-sized sentences are the single clearest sign of machine writing.
- Use contractions. Say "you'll", not "you will".
- Address one person as "you". Never "viewers", never "we" when you mean them.
- Cut every throat-clearing phrase. Start on the point.
- Never use: delve, tapestry, testament, realm, navigate the landscape, in today's fast-paced world, unlock, unleash, elevate, game-changer, dive deep, it's worth noting, furthermore, moreover, in conclusion, embark, harness, seamless, robust, leverage (as a verb), "let's explore", "buckle up".
- No sentence may begin with "In this video" or "Welcome back to the channel".
- Do not hedge. "This works" beats "this can potentially help".
- No emoji unless I ask for them.

GIVE ME
THE SCRIPT — TTS-ready.
PRONUNCIATION LIST — word, phonetic spelling.
WHAT I CHANGED — and why.
WATCH FOR — what may still come out wrong.

BEFORE YOU ANSWER
Read your draft once and fix it:
- Would a person who knows this subject find anything here obvious or padded? Cut it.
- Is every specific claim something the video can actually deliver?
- Did any banned phrase survive? Replace it.
- Are the sentences varied in length, or do they all run the same? Fix the rhythm.
Then give me the final version only. No preamble, no explanation of what you did.
