# Voice line

People and places / Character / Prompt blocks. Checked 2026-10-13.

The same voice in every generation of the film.

- Use when: Dialogue across several generations.
- Phrase: voice: from Ghent, dry and clipped when frustrated, quiet and level when serious; with a voice recording bound as the reference

- JSON: https://directorchair.ai/api/character/voice-line.json

## Watch out

- A voice recording as a reference keeps the voice stable across generations; text alone drifts. (practitioner; Rourke Heath (25 Sep 2026) via Director Chair field notes on video prompting)
