The PUCK GOLD voice booth
Every announcer is a Chatterbox / Qwen voice profile generated locally with Voicebox on a single Mac. No third-party API. Drop a script, run npm run voice:gen, ship the MP3.
Deep, broadcast-grade public-address announcer. Confident, theatrical without overselling. The voice of every PUCK GOLD arena.
Warm, conversational podcast host. Measured cadence with light dry humor. Reads articles like an episode intro — not a robot.
Fast, breathless play-by-play caller with a Miami late-night radio energy. Latin-jazz rhythm. Drops Spanish phrases on big plays. Lives for breakaways.
Calm, intelligent, NPR-clean delivery from the climate-controlled press box. Speaks like a meteorologist who loves the game. Big moments rendered with quiet awe.
Southern-radio drawl from a wood-paneled press box. Steady, story-driven. Treats every game like a freight train pulling out of the station.
DC go-go bassline energy. Punchy, crew-call cadence. Trades off with a beat. Turns every goal into a block party.
