I produced this audio using new Gemini 2.0 Flash Experimental model. You can see below my system prompt and the input prompt text which I wanted converted to audio using selected voice “venrir”.
I noticed the Gemini Flash didn’t adjusted to my instructions fully. I wanted slow paced, soft, hypnotic voice with longer pauses, but I got a very engaging speech with normal voice. I tried using … (three dots) to represent pause durations, but it seemed ignored.
Can someone recommend how to steer the voice in cusomized way as I wanted in my system prompt.

Hello, Josh. … …
Let’s begin our meditation aimed at fostering patience and inner peace. Find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed. Sit or lie down in a comfortable position, and gently close your eyes. … …
Start by taking three deep breaths. Inhale slowly through your nose… hold for a count of three… and exhale gently through your mouth. … … With each breath, feel your body relaxing more deeply. … …
Now, bring your awareness to the top of your head. Notice any tension, and as you exhale, allow it to release. … … Gradually move your attention down to your forehead, eyes, and jaw—letting go of any tightness. … … Continue this body scan, moving slowly down through your neck, shoulders, arms, chest, abdomen, pelvis, legs, and all the way to your feet. … … With each exhale, release any lingering stress. … …
Imagine standing beside a calm, clear lake surrounded by a peaceful forest. … … The surface of the lake is smooth, reflecting the sky above. … … This lake represents your mind at peace. … … When a thought or emotion arises—like a pebble thrown into the water—notice the ripples it creates, but watch as they gradually fade, returning the lake to its tranquil state. … …
Now, reflect on a recent situation where you felt anger or irritation. … … Observe it without judgment. … … Acknowledge your feelings and allow yourself to accept them fully. … … Say to yourself, “It’s okay to feel this way. I accept my emotions without resistance.” … …
Shift your focus to forgiveness. … … Visualize the person involved in the situation, even if that person is yourself. … … In your mind, express forgiveness by saying, “I forgive you, and I set us both free from this burden.” … …
Cultivate compassion by considering the challenges that others may be facing. … … Repeat silently, “May we all find peace, may we all be happy.” … …
Bring your attention back to your breath. … … Inhale patience… exhale frustration. … … Inhale self-control… exhale impulsivity. … … Feel a sense of calm and control enveloping you. … …
Take a moment to set a clear intention for yourself: “I choose to respond with patience and understanding.” … …
As we conclude this meditation, take three more deep breaths. … … Begin to wiggle your fingers and toes, bringing awareness back to your body. … … When you’re ready, gently open your eyes. … … Carry this sense of acceptance and compassion with you throughout your day, knowing that you have the tools within you to navigate any challenges that arise.
