[Laughs], [sigh], what else work for nudging Bark to produce interesting sound effects?

[ksylvan]

What other non-verbal cues/clues are supported? I know at least [laughs], and [sighs] works but what other words are supported in brackets invoke different sounds?

The README lists these:

• [laughter]
• [laughs]
• [sighs]
• [music]
• [gasps]
• [clears throat]
• — or ... for hesitations
• ♪ for song lyrics
• CAPITALIZATION for emphasis of a word
• [MAN] and [WOMAN] to bias Bark toward male and female speakers, respectively

In the discussion of #190 is a list (produced by ChatGPT):

[whispers], [giggles], [snickers], [coughs], [groans], [yells], [gasps], [whimpers], [sobs], [murmurs],
[chuckles], [hums], [sneezes], [grunts], [shrieks], [hiccups], [stammers], [stutters], [grumbles], [snorts],
[howls], [moans], [guffaws], [sighs deeply], [laughs nervously], [cries], [sniffs], [smacks lips], [claps], [sings],
[yawns], [mumbles], [shushes], [exhales sharply], [snaps], [whistles], [crunches], [slurps], [smacks], [clicks], 
[clinks], [clatters], [sizzles], [rustles], [splashes], [claps], [taps], [thumps], [rumbles], [drums], [jingles], [jangles],
[pops], [bangs], [hisses], [scratches], [squeaks], [screeches], [buzzes], [swooshes], [swoops], [clangs],
[whirrs], [chirps], [beeps], [tick-tocks], [thuds], [swishes], [crackles], [fizzes], [humming].

And then we have other hints that sometimes work, like [upbeat music].

have you tried any of these and had any luck?
