Prompt use
Use "Gritty" in lyrics tags or style instructions to shape the vocal delivery. Section: Vocal Tone Tags.
When to use gritty
Use it near the front of the prompt when gritty should shape the overall feel.
Let it control one clear layer, then add vocal, arrangement, or structure detail around it.
Change only one layer at a time during testing so the results stay learnable.
gritty example prompt
Gritty alt-pop, close raspy lead vocal, tight verse groove, repeated hook phrase, dramatic final chorus, polished rough-edge mix
Gritty is strongest when the vocal needs texture and tension while the rest of the prompt still keeps structure readable.
