Best Practices

1. Match voice to content - Professional voice for business, casual for social
2. Use punctuation - Control pacing with periods and commas
3. Keep sentences short - Easier to generate and sounds more natural
4. Test different voices - Same text sounds different across voices
5. Adjust speed - Slightly slower often sounds more natural
6. Break long content - Process in chunks for consistency
