Sora 2 Prompt Guide: 15 Prompts for Audio-Video (Copy-Paste)

Sora 2 generates synced audio along with video. These prompts describe sound as well as picture for the best results.

The audio-video formula

Subject + Action + Setting + Camera + Sound. Add a short line of dialogue or ambient cue.

Dialogue prompts

1. A barista says "here is your latte" with a warm smile, cafe ambiance, close-up.
2. A coach shouts "one more lap" across a track, wind and footsteps, wide shot.
3. A child whispers "look at the stars", quiet night, gentle crickets.

Action prompts

1. A drummer plays a fast fill, tight close-up, punchy drum audio.
2. Rain intensifies on a tin roof, static shot, layered rain sound.
3. A door creaks open into a busy office, tracking shot, office ambiance.

Ambient scene prompts

1. Waves lap a quiet beach at sunset, slow pan, soft surf sound.
2. A forest at dawn, birdsong, slow forward move, misty light.
3. A campfire crackles under stars, locked shot, warm fire audio.

Storyboard prompts

1. Shot 1: hero enters. Shot 2: close-up reaction. Shot 3: wide reveal.
2. Keep the same character across three shots in one location.
3. Match ambient sound across all shots for continuity.

Pro tips
