Respiration VoiceNet dimension guide

Physical Productioncode vn_RESPslot 57
This dimension measures the audibility and laboriousness of breathing. 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.

Respiration controls the audibility and laboriousness of breathing. The __high LoRA shifts it +0.16 at 100% (worst cost: speech quality -0.29); the __low LoRA shifts it -0.24 at 125% (worst cost: burst-blend -0.36). The __low direction is the stronger, more reliable knob here.

Merging Respiration __high pushes the dimension: at the recommended 100% dose the measured Respiration score moves from a 0.44 baseline to 0.60 (a +0.16 shift). The dose-response is mostly ordered but noisy between doses. That reach is a steep cost — the biggest hit is to speech quality (-0.29); across the board genuineness +0.05, burst-blend -0.23, speech quality -0.29. Emotionally it reads as Amusement (r 0.49), Fatigue/Exhaustion (0.39) and Teasing (0.38), and it moves away from Contemplation, Affection and Contentment. On other voice dimensions it co-moves most with Casual Style (0.71), Volatility (0.67) and Disfluency (0.63), while pulling down Structure, Recording Quality and Formal Style. Practical call: merge __high at 75–100%; expect Amusement and Casual Style to rise and speech quality to fall. If you don’t want Amusement bleeding in, offset it with a prompt cue toward Contemplation to keep the respiration shift without the side-effect.

Merging Respiration __low damps the dimension: at the recommended 125% dose the measured Respiration score moves from a 0.44 baseline to 0.21 (a -0.24 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 burst-blend (-0.36); across the board genuineness -0.12, burst-blend -0.36, speech quality +0.08. Emotionally it reads as Fatigue/Exhaustion (r 0.39), Anger (0.39) and Fear (0.35), and it moves away from Emotional Numbness, Concentration and Contemplation. On other voice dimensions it co-moves most with Genuineness (0.62), Disfluency (0.60) and Volatility (0.60), while pulling down Newsreader Style, Formal Style and Structure. Practical call: merge __low at 100–125%; expect Fatigue/Exhaustion and Genuineness to rise and burst-blend to fall. If you don’t want Fatigue/Exhaustion bleeding in, offset it with a prompt cue toward Emotional Numbness to keep the respiration shift without the side-effect.
