## Keep it simple: best practices

* **Short prompts, clear tone.** “Friendly, helpful voice” works better than long descriptions.
* **Check the sample.** Preview audio in Tempo before you share it with users.
* **Mind the minutes.** ElevenLabs charges per generated second—trim silence to save credits.
