Voice Age VoiceNet dimension guide

Speaker Identitycode vn_AGEVslot 52
This dimension measures the perceived biological age and vocal wear of the speaker. Below: the merge-scaling dose-response for the __high and __low LoRA (laion/moss-voicenet-dimension-loras) at 25/50/75/100/125%, the measured target value at each dose, the top-3 ± correlated EmoNet emotions and VoiceNet dimensions, three audio samples per dose, and a grounded prompting tip. Costs are shifts vs. the 24-sample neutral baseline in genuineness, vocal-burst blend and speech quality.

Voice Age controls the perceived biological age and vocal wear of the speaker. The __high LoRA shifts it +0.21 at 100% (worst cost: burst-blend -0.18); the __low LoRA shifts it -0.51 at 125% (worst cost: speech quality -0.28). The __low direction is the stronger, more reliable knob here.

Merging Voice Age __high pushes the dimension: at the recommended 100% dose the measured Voice Age score moves from a 0.64 baseline to 0.85 (a +0.21 shift). The dose-response is mostly ordered but noisy between doses. That reach is a real cost — the biggest hit is to burst-blend (-0.18); across the board genuineness -0.09, burst-blend -0.18, speech quality +0.15. Emotionally it reads as Concentration (r 0.38), Emotional Numbness (0.37) and Contemplation (0.35), and it moves away from Impatience and Irritability, Confusion and Pain. On other voice dimensions it co-moves most with Whisper-Talk Style (0.77), Fullness (0.77) and Warmth (0.69), while pulling down Playful Style, Dynamic Arc and Casual Style. Practical call: merge __high at 75–100%; expect Concentration and Whisper-Talk Style to rise and burst-blend to fall. If you don’t want Concentration bleeding in, offset it with a prompt cue toward Impatience and Irritability to keep the voice age shift without the side-effect.

Merging Voice Age __low lowers the dimension: at the recommended 125% dose the measured Voice Age score moves from a 0.64 baseline to 0.13 (a -0.51 shift). The dose-response is clean and monotonic — each step pushes the dimension further. That reach is a steep cost — the biggest hit is to speech quality (-0.28); across the board genuineness +0.00, burst-blend -0.19, speech quality -0.28. Emotionally it reads as Interest (r 0.75), Affection (0.66) and Longing (0.66), and it moves away from Pain, Amusement and Astonishment/Surprise. On other voice dimensions it co-moves most with Fullness (0.89), Warmth (0.89) and Whisper-Talk Style (0.87), while pulling down Playful Style, Dynamic Arc and Ranting/Angry Style. Practical call: merge __low at 100–125%; expect Interest and Fullness to rise and speech quality to fall. If you don’t want Interest bleeding in, offset it with a prompt cue toward Pain to keep the voice age shift without the side-effect.
