Nasal Resonance VoiceNet dimension guide

Resonance Placementcode vn_R_NASLslot 79
This dimension measures resonance originating from the nasal cavity. 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.

Nasal Resonance controls resonance originating from the nasal cavity. The __high LoRA shifts it +0.56 at 100% (worst cost: burst-blend -0.41); the __low LoRA shifts it -0.08 at 25% (worst cost: genuineness +0.01). The __high direction is the stronger, more reliable knob here.

Merging Nasal Resonance __high pushes the dimension: at the recommended 100% dose the measured Nasal Resonance score moves from a 0.14 baseline to 0.70 (a +0.56 shift). The dose-response is mostly ordered but noisy between doses. That reach is a steep cost — the biggest hit is to burst-blend (-0.41); across the board genuineness -0.07, burst-blend -0.41, speech quality +0.01. Emotionally it reads as Amusement (r 0.64), Teasing (0.46) and Impatience and Irritability (0.35), and it moves away from Longing, Fear and Infatuation. On other voice dimensions it co-moves most with Head Resonance (0.90), Mask Resonance (0.85) and Brightness (0.84), while pulling down Cognitive Load, Vocal-burst blend and Perceived Gender. Practical call: merge __high at 75–100%; expect Amusement and Head Resonance to rise and burst-blend to fall. If you don’t want Amusement bleeding in, offset it with a prompt cue toward Longing to keep the nasal resonance shift without the side-effect.

Merging Nasal Resonance __low suppresses the dimension: at the recommended 25% dose the measured Nasal Resonance score moves from a 0.14 baseline to 0.06 (a -0.08 shift). The dose-response is mostly ordered but noisy between doses. That reach is nearly free — the biggest hit is to genuineness (+0.01); across the board genuineness +0.01, burst-blend +0.17, speech quality +0.01. Emotionally it reads as Impatience and Irritability (r 0.40), Contempt (0.39) and Sourness (0.38), and it moves away from Longing, Infatuation and Awe. On other voice dimensions it co-moves most with Mask Resonance (0.59), Head Resonance (0.58) and Velocity Flux (0.51), while pulling down Vocal-burst blend, Cognitive Load and Perceived Gender. Practical call: merge __low at a light 25–50%; expect Impatience and Irritability and Mask Resonance to rise and genuineness to fall. If you don’t want Impatience and Irritability bleeding in, offset it with a prompt cue toward Longing to keep the nasal resonance shift without the side-effect.
