Authoritative Style VoiceNet dimension guide
Speaking Stylecode vn_S_AUTHslot 89
This dimension measures how authoritative and commanding the voice sounds. 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.
Authoritative Style controls how authoritative and commanding the voice sounds. The __high LoRA shifts it +0.63 at 125% (worst cost: burst-blend -0.46); the __low LoRA shifts it -0.01 at 25% (worst cost: burst-blend -0.08). The __high direction is the stronger, more reliable knob here.

Merging Authoritative Style __high drives the dimension: at the recommended 125% dose the measured Authoritative Style score moves from a 0.03 baseline to 0.66 (a +0.63 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 (-0.46); across the board genuineness -0.13, burst-blend -0.46, speech quality +0.02. Emotionally it reads as Triumph (r 0.76), Pride (0.62) and Anger (0.56), and it moves away from Contentment, Relief and Affection. On other voice dimensions it co-moves most with Attack (0.95), Metallic Character (0.94) and Arousal (0.93), while pulling down Vulnerability, Vocal-burst blend and Casual Style. Practical call: merge __high at 100–125%; expect Triumph and Attack to rise and burst-blend to fall. If you don’t want Triumph bleeding in, offset it with a prompt cue toward Contentment to keep the authoritative style shift without the side-effect.

Merging Authoritative Style __low damps the dimension: at the recommended 25% dose the measured Authoritative Style score moves from a 0.03 baseline to 0.02 (a -0.01 shift). The dose-response is noisy and non-monotonic — the merge is an unreliable knob here. That reach is a modest cost — the biggest hit is to burst-blend (-0.08); across the board genuineness +0.01, burst-blend -0.08, speech quality +0.02. Emotionally it reads as Bitterness (r 0.60), Contempt (0.58) and Pride (0.38), and it moves away from Affection, Relief and Contentment. On other voice dimensions it co-moves most with Attack (0.75), Tempo (0.66) and Stance (0.63), while pulling down Vulnerability, Vocal-burst blend and Cognitive Load. Practical call: merge __low at a light 25–50%; expect Bitterness and Attack to rise and burst-blend to fall. If you don’t want Bitterness bleeding in, offset it with a prompt cue toward Affection to keep the authoritative style shift without the side-effect.
