About this voice
A promo voice and one third of Tessa
Short promotional scripts are her lane: offers, reminders and launches in a few sentences. Write the offer as its own line, add a pause tag before it and the captions follow her word by word.
In Tessa she is one part against two parts of Sienna, a recipe we kept for promo hooks. Choose Tessa when you want that blend ready-made, or lead with Piper and set your own share in the widget.
Length the engine likes. The published guidance puts the sweet spot at roughly 100 to 200 tokens, a few sentences per line.

FAQ
Questions about Piper
What kind of script suits Piper?
Short promotional scripts, by our note: offers, reminders and launches told in a few sentences. Put the offer on its own line so it stands out.
How is Piper different from Tessa?
Tessa is a house blend, two parts Sienna to one part Piper, so most of its timbre comes from Sienna. Piper alone gives you her own short-promo read.
What length suits Piper?
A few sentences per line, which is the length a promo runs anyway and the sweet spot in the published guidance.
Are Piper's captions word-timed?
Yes. Every English voice reports word timing during synthesis, so the SRT cues follow the read.
