Best PromptsMeditation and Sleep Story Audio Direction
Script and voice-direct meditation or sleep audio: 100 wpm pacing, timed breath breaks, and the ElevenLabs settings that keep delivery hypnotic.
Write a [GUIDED MEDITATION / SLEEP STORY / BODY SCAN / BREATHING EXERCISE] script, formatted for TTS narration.
Length: [MINUTES] (at meditation pace that's ~100-110 words per minute, a 10-minute script is only ~1,000 words; resist filling it)
Purpose: [FALL ASLEEP / MORNING CALM / ANXIETY RESET / FOCUS]
Theme/imagery world: [ONE COHERENT SETTING: "a slow train through night rain" / "a walled garden after rain", one world per session, no scene-hopping]
Script rules:
- Second person, present tense, permission language: "you might notice", "allow", "there's nothing to do here", never commands ("relax NOW") or effort words.
- Short sentences. Fragments welcome. Each paragraph is one breath group of 1-3 sentences.
- Sensory specifics over abstractions: the weight of the blanket, the sound the rain makes on the window; concrete imagery is what the mind follows down.
- Pacing markup, embedded as you write:
- <break time="2s" /> after every instruction the listener must DO (a breath, a muscle release).
- <break time="4s" /> between sections; ellipses... inside sentences for drift.
- For sleep content: pauses grow progressively longer through the script, the final section is more silence than words, sentences trailing unfinished...
- For breathing sections, time the words to the breath: "breathing in... two... three... four <break time='1s' /> and slowly out... two... three... four... five... six".
- No exclamation marks, no capitalized words, nothing that spikes energy. The last line never resolves crisply. It dissolves.
Then add the voice direction block:
- Voice character to choose: [warm, low-pitched, slightly breathy; unhurried]
- ElevenLabs settings: high Stability (Robust mode for maximum consistency across a long session, expressive tags matter less here than evenness), Style low, speed slightly below default.
- Sparse delivery tags only where truly needed: [whispers] for the final sleep section, [softly] at transitions; one tag per paragraph maximum; meditation lives in evenness, not performance.
- Generate section by section and splice: long single generations drift in tone.How to use
Sleep and meditation audio is a compounding format (a 30-minute sleep story gets replayed nightly for months) and the craft is all pacing: ~100 words per minute, 30-40% of the runtime as silence via break tags, pauses lengthening toward the end. The Robust-mode recommendation is deliberate: it ignores expressive tags but delivers the flat consistency this format needs; use Natural mode only if you want the [whispers] sections to really whisper. Layer under a sparse ambient bed mixed low.
