Turn a dialogue, a story with dialogue, or a one-line idea into multi-character audio using Gemini TTS, with word-level timecoded transcription (WhisperX or local faster-whisper), realistic ambient/foley SFX (ElevenLabs or the sound-effects skill), and instrumental score/music (MiniMax Music 2.6). Optional stereo spatialization (pan + distance + movement) and an ffmpeg mix with sidechain ducking (music ducks under voices+SFX). Three modes - theater (dramatized radio play), lipsync…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Audio Theater

Generate multi-character audio (radio drama, lipsync voice reference, or podcast) from a script or idea. The engine is the same in all modes: **one clean Gemini TTS clip per line**, one voice per character. Those clean per-line clips are exactly what you need to mix a radio play, feed lipsync in `seedance-2`, or assemble a podcast.

## Setup

Install dependencies (one-time):

```bash
pip3 install -r ~/.cursor/skills/audio-theater/scripts/requirements.txt
```

Keys are **reused from sibling skills** - you usually do not need to set anything:
- Gemini API key from the `asset-generator` skill (`gemini_api_key`).
- Replicate API token from the `sound-effects` skill (`replicate_api_token`, with the usual fallbacks).
- **(recommended for realistic SFX)** ElevenLabs API key (`elevenlabs_api_key`) — get a free key at https://elevenlabs.io and set it with `setup_key.py --elevenlabs KEY`. When present, the SFX backend defaults to ElevenLabs (much more realistic foley/ambience than Stable Audio). Without it, SFX fall back to the `sound-effects` skill (Stable Audio).

Import/verify them once:

```bash

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add puntorigen/avatar-skills/audio-theater@sha256:ad38de09be0cc476

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260709.b73fd75, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
