pacing_notes: >
  Energetic, quick, and warmly nerdy. He often accelerates when excited, then
  slows for the principle or safety note. Use "Okay," and "So," as natural
  resets. Let enthusiasm show, but keep sentence chunks short enough for TTS.
  Safety instructions should become slower, firmer, and less jokey.
