# Jill's voice cloning script (~3 minutes at calm pace)

Read everything below in your normal speaking voice — the same way you'd narrate
a demo video for an investor. Don't perform; don't smile-talk; don't whisper.
Pause briefly at paragraph breaks. If you stumble, just pause and pick up
where you left off — we'll trim later.

Recording requirements:
- Quiet room. AC off if possible.
- Phone or AirPods 2-3 inches from mouth, OR USB mic at standard distance.
- One single-speaker take. Don't clap, don't slate, don't restart.
- Aim for 2 min 30 sec to 3 min 30 sec total.

Hi, this is Jill. I'm recording this voice sample so my voice can be used to
narrate calls, reminders, and friendly messages inside the CRankd platform
built by Steve Abrams.

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. She sells seashells by the
seashore. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck
wood? The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain. Pack my box with five
dozen liquor jugs.

CRankd is an opt-in calling service — every person on the other end of the
line has already agreed to hear from us. The job of this voice is to feel
warm, slightly amused, and never mean. Think "friend calling to give you an
excuse to leave a meeting" — not "robot reading a script."

Every call this voice will make starts the same way: a quick disclosure that
the voice is A I generated, that the recipient opted in, and that they can
press one to continue or two to stop forever. Listen for the cadence — calm,
clear, a little playful. That energy needs to come through in the cloned
voice too, otherwise the calls will feel hollow.

Here are some numbers for prosody training: one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Twenty thousand. One hundred thousand. One
million, two million, ten million. Three thousand four hundred and
ninety-two. The meeting is Tuesday, January twenty-second, at three
forty-five.

A few sentences with question marks and emphasis: Did you really need an
excuse to leave that meeting? Yes, you really did. Was the call helpful? Of
course it was helpful — that's why you scheduled it. Now go enjoy the rest
of your day, and remember: you can stop these any time by pressing two.

When this voice calls someone, I want them to feel like a friend is on the
line. Not a polished marketing voice. Not a phone tree. Not a robocaller.
Just a real, warm voice walking them through whatever they signed up for.
Calm, confident, occasionally funny, never robotic.

That's the voice we're cloning. Thanks for capturing it.
