Tension VoiceNet dimension guide
Physical Productioncode vn_TENSslot 58
This dimension measures the perceived muscular tightness in throat, jaw and neck. 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.
Tension controls the perceived muscular tightness in throat, jaw and neck. The __high LoRA shifts it +0.58 at 125% (worst cost: burst-blend -0.32); 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 Tension __high drives the dimension: at the recommended 125% dose the measured Tension score moves from a 0.16 baseline to 0.74 (a +0.58 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 (-0.32); across the board genuineness -0.03, burst-blend -0.32, speech quality -0.29. Emotionally it reads as Anger (r 0.74), Sourness (0.65) and Triumph (0.65), and it moves away from Contemplation, Contentment and Affection. On other voice dimensions it co-moves most with Dramatic Style (0.96), Metallic Character (0.96) and Stance (0.95), while pulling down Warmth, Whisper-Talk Style and Teacher/Didactic Style. Practical call: merge __high at 100–125%; expect Anger and Dramatic Style to rise and burst-blend to fall. If you don’t want Anger bleeding in, offset it with a prompt cue toward Contemplation to keep the tension shift without the side-effect.

Merging Tension __low lowers the dimension: at the recommended 25% dose the measured Tension score moves from a 0.16 baseline to 0.09 (a -0.08 shift). The dose-response is noisy and non-monotonic — the merge is an unreliable knob here. That reach is nearly free — the biggest hit is to genuineness (-0.01); across the board genuineness -0.01, burst-blend +0.03, speech quality +0.09. Emotionally it reads as Jealousy & Envy (r 0.42), Fear (0.39) and Distress (0.23), and it moves away from Contentment, Contemplation and Concentration. On other voice dimensions it co-moves most with Dramatic Style (0.82), Stance (0.80) and Metallic Character (0.76), while pulling down Teacher/Didactic Style, Register and ASMR Style. Practical call: merge __low at a light 25–50%; expect Jealousy & Envy and Dramatic Style to rise and genuineness to fall. If you don’t want Jealousy & Envy bleeding in, offset it with a prompt cue toward Contentment to keep the tension shift without the side-effect.
