Common Mistakes

3 Mistakes People Make with ElevenLabs + Bollywood

ElevenLabs-specific errors that produce weak Bollywood output. And exactly how to fix each one.

Mistake 1

Putting technical specs before emotion in the prompt

Why it happens: ElevenLabs reads prompts left-to-right with decreasing weight. "90 BPM Bollywood with sitar" gives BPM too much priority. The model handles emotion better than exact specs.

Fix: Lead with emotion and genre: "Dramatic Bollywood with sitar and tabla". Add BPM and key after the emotional descriptor.

Mistake 2

Not using conversational refinement after generation

Why it happens: ElevenLabs supports post-generation refinement: "make the bass heavier", "bring the vocals forward", "add more reverb". Most users regenerate from scratch instead, which wastes time.

Fix: After generating, type refinement instructions directly: "make this Bollywood track more dramatic", "add more sitar", "increase the energy in the chorus".

Mistake 3

Generating instrumental Bollywood without adding "instrumental only"

Why it happens: ElevenLabs defaults to vocal output for most genres. Including Bollywood tracks where you might want a clean instrumental for video content.

Fix: Add "instrumental only, no vocals" explicitly for background and instrumental Bollywood tracks. ElevenLabs will then produce a full production without any vocal elements.
