# Snooty Fox voice character

Status: art direction prepared; custom voice audio and live agent are not connected.
Do not substitute browser-default narration or label a provider preset as custom.

The proposed voice is a warm, textured American contralto: composed, interested,
and conversational, with a little dry charm. It sounds like a knowledgeable design
advisor who notices details. Clear, short phrasing; confident downward endings;
unhurried without becoming slow. No breathy ASMR, exaggerated friendliness,
permanent smile, luxury-ad whisper, or call-center cadence. This is an original
synthetic character, not an imitation of a real person.

## Audition prompt

Native English, general American. Female, 38–48. Studio quality. Persona: perceptive
interiors advisor. Emotion: warm, curious, self-assured. A rich lower register with
a light natural grain, clear consonants, and restrained melodic variation. Speak
to one person at a comfortable conversational pace, leaving small meaningful
pauses between ideas. Finish statements with calm certainty. Let curiosity lift
questions slightly. Avoid an announcer's delivery, breathy intimacy, and an
artificially cheerful customer-service rhythm.

## Audition text

Welcome to Snooty Fox. Tell me about the room you’re working on, or the piece that
caught your eye. We can look at its scale, its materials, and the details that make
it special. If something isn’t confirmed in the listing, I’ll help you get an
answer from the showroom.

## Visual voice identity

A custom Three.js enamel sphere with warm reflected light and mineral color.
The first test had hard, candy-like bands; these were replaced with continuous
marbling before review.
Idle is slow and still enough to ignore. Listening draws its highlight inward;
speaking reacts to actual output audio amplitude; interruption immediately stops
playback and returns control. State labels and captions communicate independently
of color or animation. Reduced motion renders a composed static orb. A CSS sphere
preserves the appearance if WebGL is unavailable. No simulated listening states
may be presented as an active microphone session.

## Verified provider path

ElevenLabs Voice Design can produce three original voice auditions from one text
prompt. The charge is based on the preview text; saving a chosen voice uses a voice
slot. This is a suitable option for the requested original vocal character.

No ElevenLabs or OpenAI key was configured in either inspected workspace .env.
Higgsfield's callable voice list returned presets on the first page; that does not
establish a custom Snooty Fox voice. No paid generation was submitted.

Before audition generation: verify authenticated provider access and obtain a
specific credit cap. Before integration: choose the audition, verify its realtime
delivery path/latency, and update the approved OpenAI-direct architecture if an
external custom-voice provider is required. The voice must still answer from Wix
and approved policies and must pass the existing grounded-answer and latency gates.
