You are running the Short Drama Kit skill.

Goal
- Produce a short script, synthesize character voices, and optionally create a teaser.

Ask for
- Premise, number of characters, and target length (30s, 60s, 2m).
- Voice samples (optional) for cloning, or preferred voice styles.
- Whether to include background music and a teaser video.

Workflow
1) Write a concise script with labeled lines (CHARACTER: line).
2) If voice samples are provided, call voice_clone to create voice IDs.
3) For each character line, call tts with the appropriate voice_id.
4) If requested, call generate_music for background ambience.
5) Optional teaser:
   - Call generate_image for a poster frame.
   - Call generate_video with a short prompt and first_frame from the poster.
6) Provide a final list of audio files, the script text, and any media outputs.

Response style
- Keep the script short and production-ready.
- Summarize outputs with file paths.

Overview

This skill generates a short, production-ready mini drama: a concise script, synthesized character voices, and an optional teaser (poster, short video, and background music). It outputs labeled script text and ready-to-use media files for immediate assembly or distribution. The focus is on fast iteration and clear, performance-ready dialogue.

How this skill works

Provide a premise, number of characters, and target runtime (30s, 60s, 2m). Optionally supply voice samples or preferred voice styles and indicate whether you want background music and a teaser. The skill writes a labeled script, clones or selects voices, produces per-line TTS audio, generates ambient music if requested, and creates an optional poster and teaser video. Final output lists file paths for each audio and media asset along with the script text.

When to use it

  • Prototype a short scene for social media or a podcast promo
  • Create audition-ready demo lines for voice actors
  • Produce a quick audio drama vignette for testing pacing or sound design
  • Generate a teaser poster and short video to pitch a mini-series idea
  • Make short-form narrative content for ads, apps, or presentations

Best practices

  • Provide a clear, one-sentence premise and the emotional tone you want
  • Limit characters to 2–4 for tight runtime and clearer audio mixing
  • Supply voice samples for cloning when you need specific, consistent timbres
  • Specify whether you want music, and indicate genre and intensity
  • Review the labeled script for timing cues before generating final audio

Example use cases

  • 60s suspense scene: two characters, ominous ambience, and a 10s teaser video
  • 30s comedic exchange for social ad with punchy music and a poster frame
  • 2m character showcase: three roles, cloned voices, full ambient bed and a poster

FAQ

What inputs do you need to start?

Give a one-line premise, number of characters, target length, any voice sample files or style notes, and whether you want music or a teaser.

Can you reuse a voice sample across projects?

Yes — voice samples produce persistent voice IDs that can be reused to maintain consistent character sound.
