How to generate a hook

Tips for prompting

When prompting:

If using a female-sounding voice, ensure you prompt for a female-looking person
Ensure the audio and text prompt match - For instance, avoid pairing a female-sounding voice with a text description of a man or pairing a clean, noise-free synthetic audio voice with a text description of a person standing outside on a busy street.
The less likely the person’s appearance to exist in real life, the less likely you’ll receive a great output. For example, “A blue and pink haired woman wearing a cowboy hat, with 5 nose piercings, wearing a traditional Nigerian wedding dress, holding pizza, with clown makeup.”
Spelling matters. Ensure your spelling looks great before generating
