I've search the docs and couldn't find any possibility to add variation to an output. Wonder if I'm missing something or has a different name? I used the playground and found that the emotions were quite nice for the first and last sentence, but completely flattened in the middle parts. So I was looking to add some variability into it but couldn't find it.

Hi @gentle valley - you should be able to specify __experimental_controls in the voice param in the API

#

The docs are here: https://docs.cartesia.ai/build-with-sonic/capability-guides/control-speed-and-emotion#api

Your results will... vary quite heavily by voice tbh

Are there voices that work well for this? I’ve tested it extensively and the results don’t really seem to work well.

@bold hearth I believe Sarah Curious is probably the most expressive for it atm
