Want to add a dramatic monologue, a narrative intro, or just have a voice speak instead of sing in your Suno AI creation? Blending spoken word with music can create a unique and captivating listening experience. Here’s how you can guide the AI to speak specific lines.
Using Descriptive Tags
The most reliable method to make Suno AI perform spoken word is to use specific tags in your lyrics. By placing these instructions in brackets [] before the text, you tell the AI exactly how to perform that line.
Key Tags to Use:
[Spoken word][Narration][Spoken verse][Sprechgesang](a German term for a style that blends speaking and singing)
Example:
To create a song that opens with a spoken introduction, you would write your lyrics like this:
[Spoken word]
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to a story of sound and silence.
[Verse 1]
Now the music begins to play...
This directs the AI to speak the first line, setting a distinct tone before the sung verse begins.
The Parentheses Trick
Another method, though sometimes less consistent, is to enclose the desired spoken text in parentheses (). The community has observed that this can occasionally prompt the AI to treat the line as a spoken aside or thought.
Example:
(This is the part where everything changes.)
The beat drops and the world fades away.
Tips for Success
- Be Persistent: AI can be unpredictable. It might take a few generations for the AI to correctly interpret your request for spoken word. Don't be discouraged if the first attempt doesn't work perfectly.
- Combine Techniques: Try mixing different tags or using a tag followed by parentheses to increase your chances of success.
- Experiment: The beauty of Suno AI is in the experimentation. Play with different phrasing and tags to discover what works best for your creative vision.
