Veo 3.1 Audio Prompting Guide — Dialogue, Ambience & SFX
How to structure audio direction for Veo 3.1: dialogue, ambience, sound effects and audiovisual continuity, with model-specific prompt examples.
Audio direction structure
- Dialogue: who speaks, delivery and timing.
- Ambience: persistent environmental sound bed.
- SFX: sounds tied to visible actions.
- Music: mood and intensity rather than copyrighted song imitation.
- Continuity: avoid abrupt audio resets between connected beats.
Example
Visual: 8-second rainy-night street shot. A black sports car enters frame from the left and passes close to camera, realistic tire spray on wet asphalt, low tracking camera maintains the same side profile, neon reflections move across the bodywork, distant traffic and rain ambience, no visible text. Audio: steady rain ambience, low city traffic bed, realistic tire spray synchronized to wheel motion, no narration, no music unless explicitly requested.
GenVideoKit tracks Native audio as a capability for Veo 3.1 in the current model catalog. Exact audio modes and provider behavior can change; verify delivery requirements in the provider interface or API documentation.
