Teacher/Didactic Style VoiceNet dimension guide

Speaking Stylecode vn_S_TECHslot 88
This dimension measures how much the voice sounds like a teacher explaining. 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.

Teacher/Didactic Style controls how much the voice sounds like a teacher explaining. The __high LoRA shifts it +0.25 at 125% (worst cost: burst-blend -0.30); the __low LoRA shifts it -0.08 at 25% (worst cost: speech quality -0.07). The __high direction is the stronger, more reliable knob here.

Merging Teacher/Didactic Style __high ramps the dimension: at the recommended 125% dose the measured Teacher/Didactic Style score moves from a 0.21 baseline to 0.47 (a +0.25 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 (-0.30); across the board genuineness +0.03, burst-blend -0.30, speech quality +0.05. Emotionally it reads as Concentration (r 0.62), Emotional Numbness (0.58) and Contemplation (0.51), and it moves away from Fear, Elation and Distress. On other voice dimensions it co-moves most with Valence (0.81), ASMR Style (0.81) and Velocity Flux (0.79), while pulling down Dramatic Style, Perceived Gender and Cognitive Load. Practical call: merge __high at 100–125%; expect Concentration and Valence to rise and burst-blend to fall. If you don’t want Concentration bleeding in, offset it with a prompt cue toward Fear to keep the teacher/didactic style shift without the side-effect.

Merging Teacher/Didactic Style __low pulls down the dimension: at the recommended 25% dose the measured Teacher/Didactic Style score moves from a 0.21 baseline to 0.14 (a -0.08 shift). The dose-response is mostly ordered but noisy between doses. That reach is a modest cost — the biggest hit is to speech quality (-0.07); across the board genuineness +0.00, burst-blend +0.03, speech quality -0.07. Emotionally it reads as Contemplation (r 0.52), Concentration (0.50) and Emotional Numbness (0.47), and it moves away from Fear, Elation and Fatigue/Exhaustion. On other voice dimensions it co-moves most with ASMR Style (0.77), Recording Quality (0.77) and Esthetics (0.68), while pulling down Volatility, Disfluency and Tension. Practical call: merge __low at a light 25–50%; expect Contemplation and ASMR Style to rise and speech quality to fall. If you don’t want Contemplation bleeding in, offset it with a prompt cue toward Fear to keep the teacher/didactic style shift without the side-effect.
