What you are evaluating

Voice	Lester (XTTS local clone), wide-range stem `lester_vocals_stem.wav`, legacy sampling. No ElevenLabs, no credits spent.
Music bed	REWIND Zenhiser C-minor worship pad, low-passed and side-chain ducked under the voice at −28 LUFS.
Screens	Procedural green chalkboard, real RWS cards (≤5 on screen), chalk arrows / circles / brackets / handwritten keyword labels, white caption on a black bar.
Source	YouTube `6hTEvbKZUC8` — "THEM ATTACKING UR RELATIONSHIP BACKFIRED BIG TIME…" (auto-captions, cleaned).

Voice QA — every beat transcribed and checked

faster-whisper transcribed all 40 narration beats and scored each against its intended line (loop / runaway / silence / gibberish detection).

39 / 40 beats clean on the first pass (2.5% flag rate, the good-render benchmark).
One beat flagged: scene_003 ("Damn!") came out gibberish. Re-rendered through XTTS-Lester and slotted back in, frames preserved.
Lester is stochastic by nature, so this transcribe-and-fix QA runs on every render before it ships.
Re-timed for tight caption sync: every chalkboard frame is held for its beat's actual voice duration, so captions track the voice through the close (the renderer's default encode let them drift, leaving a frozen tail).
Known minor: the closing "the tower" was spoken lowercase and missed by card detection, so its caption shows but the card image does not. One-line fix (capitalize card names) for the full run.

The 2-minute script (read verbatim)

Hello, this is Chiron Intuition, and I'm here to do a reading for the collective. It's not going to resonate with everyone, but if it does, take what goes, and please leave what does not. We have the King of Wands energy. We have the Five of Wands. And we have the Devil. Damn! The King of Wands is fighting something, fighting some type of demon. They better fight that shit back. Hmmn, what's underneath this. Lord, this seem like a battle right here. What is going on? We have the Two of Cups. Not the Two of Cups. That could be like a controlling person with this Devil. And we got the Magician here. There is somebody putting magic over a relationship. We got the King of Pentacles. We got the Eight of Sword. Oh my goodness! And then we got the Star. Something here is going to be clear. It's going to shine very brightly. Something about Aquarius energy. Yeah, we got the Moon here! Somebody is playing games over another person relationship. They're about to find out that this King of Wands is not just any King of Wands. And we have the High Priestess energy. And we got the Tower. Oh, yes. Yes, I already know it's coming.

Edited per the standing rules: bleeps restored, the repeated "what is this energy?" filler swapped for varied clarifier beats, high-energy exclamations, slice-end outro suppressed (this is a mid-reading cut, not the real ending).

Screen reference

Cards are detected from the spoken reading and matched to the real 1909 Pamela Colman Smith deck; chalk annotations are the reader's own short phrases.

Why Lester, and the config used

Lester is the committed tarot voice. The wide-range stem is the right reference; the narrowed v3 clips are the documented glitch cause and were not used.
The early-June switch to ElevenLabs was a paid-account 401 (zero credits) on the cloud path, not a Lester failure. The local Lester route was never the thing that broke.
Render path: the chalkboard renderer's native --voice-backend xtts, which defaults to the Lester stem. Entirely local, zero spend.
