How do I make a gravelly voice?

Use [growling] inline with [cold] or [warm]. Combine with [whispers] for close-mic whiskey texture. Voices like Achird, Fenrir, and Charon default to the grittiest rasp.

Which voices are naturally gravelly?

Achird for whiskey-rasp noir. Fenrir for bass-growl vigilante. Orus for Tom-Waits warmth. Charon for commanding trailer growl. All 550+ voices respond to [growling].

Can I make a Batman-style voice?

Yes. Combine [growling] with [cold] and [deep and loud shouting] in short phrases. Fenrir and Charon produce the closest forced-lower-register effect.

Will the gravel tag clip the audio?

No. Gemini 3.1 normalizes the output so rasp and growl textures stay clean at any volume. Ready for drop-in mixing.

Is this different from the deep voice generator?

Deep focuses on low register. Gravelly focuses on rough texture. A voice can be deep and smooth, or high-mid and gravelly. Use [growling] on any voice for texture; use deep voices for register.
