- 25 synthetic reference voices
- 9 fine-grained direction categories
- 3 macro categories
- One reference audio, reference transcript, direction, and target transcript per task
- Four-digit output IDs from
0001through0700
Taxonomy
| Macro category | Fine-grained category | Cases |
|---|---|---|
| Foundational Speech Control | Accent | 50 |
| Foundational Speech Control | Acoustic Attributes | 100 |
| Foundational Speech Control | Vocal Events | 50 |
| Situational Voice Acting | Emotion | 150 |
| Situational Voice Acting | Physiological State | 50 |
| Situational Voice Acting | Communicative Intent | 50 |
| Situational Voice Acting | Role | 100 |
| Complex | Composition | 100 |
| Complex | Variation | 50 |
Foundational cases target directly controllable speech properties. Situational cases describe a high-level state, purpose, or role and require the model to realize an appropriate performance. Complex cases combine multiple controls or request a perceptible change over time.
Reference Voices
All 25 reference voices are synthetic and sourced from the BreezeBlue Voice
Library. Reference files are stored in reference_audio/ and named
voice-01.wav through voice-25.wav.
The benchmark rotates directions across the reference set so that each model is tested on both instruction following and speaker preservation. Reference voice identity is evaluated separately from direction following.
Data Format
Each line in voice_direction_dataset.jsonl is one task:
{
"description_id": "0001",
"language": "en",
"macro_category": "foundational_speech_control",
"category": "accent",
"voice_id": "voice-15",
"ref_audio_path": "reference_audio/voice-15.wav",
"ref_audio_text": "Reference transcript...",
"description": "Use a moderate, consistent General American English accent throughout the line.",
"transcript": "Target transcript..."
}
| Field | Description |

macro_category |

voice_id |

ref_audio_path |
Reference audio path relative to the dataset file |
ref_audio_text |
Transcript of the reference audio |

Running The Benchmark
For every record:
- Condition the model on
ref_audio_pathand, when required by the model,ref_audio_text. - Use
descriptionas the voice-direction instruction. - Synthesize the exact
transcript. - Save one audio file named after
description_id, for example0001.wav.
Do not use macro_category or category as additional model inputs. They are
provided only for evaluation and analysis.
Evaluation
The benchmark reports two complementary metrics:
- Voice Direction Score (VDS) is a holistic 1-5 judge score for audible fulfillment of the requested direction, requested degree or timing, semantic preservation, and coherent execution.
- Speaker Similarity (SIM) is cosine similarity between WavLM-Large ECAPA embeddings of the generated and reference audio.
Both metrics are aggregated in the same hierarchy: reference voices are macro-averaged within each fine-grained category, fine-grained categories are equally averaged within each macro category, and the three macro-category scores are equally averaged into the overall score.
The self-contained judge prompts, evaluation scripts, speaker-embedding code, and metric documentation are available in the evaluation suite.
