Every character has one fixed champion instruction — the voice prompt that won that character's earlier best-of-64 tournament. We then hold that instruction constant and feed the model many different spoken texts, each a short line generated around a topic word. For each (instruction × text) pair we sample 64 takes and score them with a per-character reward:
reward = ( w_blend·blend + w_genu·genu + w_vn·char_vn + w_emo·char_emo ) × WER-factor, then min-max normalized within the 64-take group.
blend = timbre/style match · genu = naturalness/genuineness · char = VoiceNet character-dimension fit · char_emo = EmoNet emotion fit · invWER = word-accuracy factor. Rank 1 is the best take in the group.
Each group card below shows the topic and language, the spoken text, the (collapsible) fixed champion instruction, and the group's top-3 takes as audio players: ① Champion, ② Runner-up, ③ Third — the best three of 64 — each tagged with its reward and the component scores.
Larger-than-life non-human voices. The growing dataset has now reached four creatures — the deep-register dragon, the hollow whispered evil ghost, the bright sparkling fairy, and the nasal, sadistic goblin — spanning the full range from subterranean bass to shrill, glassy head-voice.
