Suno prompt for Ballad
In a ballad the vocal is everything, which is why key matters most in this genre. If Suno takes the melody to notes you cannot reach, the song stops being useful: set the key and register before you generate.

Frequently asked questions
How do I stop Suno from putting the ballad too high?
Set the key (for example "in G major"), pick "low vocal register" and exclude "high-pitched vocals". Suno takes it as guidance, not as a rule: if it still goes up, generate another take or upload your own voice recorded in a key that suits you.
What is a Suno prompt?
It is the style description Suno uses to generate the song: comma-separated English tags with genre, mood, tempo, voice, instruments and sound. Suno weighs the first ones the most, which is why the generator puts genre and mood first.
How many characters does Suno’s style field accept?
In recent versions the style field accepts around 1,000 characters and in older ones about 200. The limit depends on the model you use and can change, so follow the counter on your screen. The generator has a compact 200-character mode.
Can I choose the key and chords in Suno?
You can specify them, and Suno takes them as guidance, not as a rule. The generator adds the key ("in A minor"), the vocal register and the progression with the real chords of that key, both in the style and at the top of the lyrics.
Suno puts my voice too high, what do I do?
Set the key you sing comfortably in, pick the low register and exclude "high-pitched vocals". If you upload your own recording, record it in that key. If it still raises the pitch, generate another take instead of forcing it in the mix.
