How do I get the cigarette-rasp texture?

Pair a naturally raspy voice like Pulcherrima or Charon with [warm] and [sighs] tags. The [tired] tag adds the settled fatigue that completes the chain-smoker cadence.

Can the AI do a smoker's cough?

The model doesn't produce literal coughs, but [sighs] and [tired] pair with raspy voices to suggest the background cough without needing a physical effect. Edit in a separate cough SFX if you want it literal.

Best voices for a noir detective voiceover?

Charon and Iapetus carry the heaviest gravel-smoke rasp. Alnilam delivers colder Chandler-style detachment. For the female PI, Pulcherrima and Vindemiatrix are the classic smoky choices.

Can I use smoker voices for a period jazz-club scene?

Yes. Combine Pulcherrima with [warm] + [whispers] for the archetypal smoky lounge singer. Commercial rights are included on every paid plan.

How is this different from the husky voice generator?

Husky is soft and breathy — intimate romance energy. Smoker is dry and cigarette-worn — harder edges, more age on the voice, noir and lounge territory.
