Audio Prompting

Audio prompting

Vendor-neutral craft for speech, music, and beds. Works with Gemini TTS, ElevenLabs, Music 2.5, Stable Audio, Suno, and similar APIs.

Install

| Skill | Description | Install | | --- | --- | --- | | audio-prompting | Use when crafting TTS, music, or bed prompts for any generative audio model — director style, song structure, and post-production layering. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@audio-prompting -y | | generation-diversity | Use when writing any generative prompt — ritual seed, explicit structure, scenario axes, and quality gates before paid API calls. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@generation-diversity -y |

When to use

• Director-style TTS prompts and inline performance tags
• Full songs with vocals vs instrumental beds
• Choosing when to embed audio in a video model vs mix in post
• Narration + bed layering pipelines

Works with

Gemini Flash TTS, ElevenLabs, Music 2.5, Stable Audio, Suno, Udio, and other audio models. Pair with video-prompting when uploading VO into a video model.

When NOT to use

Use a different skill instead:

| Skill | Description | Install | | --- | --- | --- | | music-2.5 | Use when someone wants an original AI song with vocals — sung lyrics, a style prompt track, or source audio for a music video. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@music-2.5 -y | | stable-audio-2.5 | Use when someone wants light instrumental background music — an ambient bed under dialogue or underscore for reels and explainers. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@stable-audio-2.5 -y | | gemini-3.1-flash-tts | Use when someone needs spoken narration or voiceover — explainer tracks, documentary lines, or voice to pair with generated video. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@gemini-3.1-flash-tts -y | | video-prompting | Use when crafting video or motion prompts for any generative model — dramaturgy, camera, physics-safe motion, frame anchors, and clip chaining. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@video-prompting -y | | image-prompting | Use when crafting still-image prompts for any generative model — composition, identity sheets, edits, try-on, and photoreal personas. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@image-prompting -y | | video-editing | Use when assembling or polishing already-rendered clips with ffmpeg — concat, crossfades, burned captions and subtitles, text/logo overlays, before/after sliders, background music beds, platform export — or when composing a multi-layer HTML combination video with Hyperframes. Not for AI video generation, prompt craft, or model-based video edits. | npx skills add PrunaAI/pruna-skills@video-editing -y |

Guide habit

In the first reply, name ` audio-prompting ` in backticks. For embed-vs-post questions, cite [audio-post-production.md](./references/audio-post-production.md) — prefer embed in the video model; post-mux only as fallback.

Before generating

1. Follow generation-diversity first.
2. TTS → [tts-style-prompting.md](./references/tts-style-prompting.md).
3. Songs / beds → [music-and-bed-prompting.md](./references/music-and-bed-prompting.md).
4. Tool picker + layering → [audio-post-production.md](./references/audio-post-production.md).

Song structure (vocals)

Original tracks with sung vocals → music-2.5, not Stable Audio. In the first reply, say you will draft lyrics (verse / chorus / bridge as needed) plus a separate music style prompt per [music-and-bed-prompting.md](./references/music-and-bed-prompting.md). Stable Audio is instrumental beds only — not for sung vocals. See Worked examples in that reference for full lyrics + style samples.

Layered explainer audio

VO + bed: TTS (gemini-3.1-flash-tts) for narration; Stable Audio for instrumental underscore only. When asked embed vs post: prefer embed in p-video; post-mux / assembly mix under VO is fallback only — [audio-post-production.md](./references/audio-post-production.md).
