How do I make a voice actually act an emotion instead of just reading the words?

Question

I want a line read softly, like someone telling a secret, not just the words spoken flat. What is the trick?

Write the direction in square brackets at the start of the sentence you want it to shape: [softly] It was never about the money. Gemini Flash is the engine that genuinely acts these cues; the others read them plainly, and the studio tells you which is which next to the engine picker. Keep one cue per beat, and try [pause] before your reveal. If you are not sure where cues belong, the Enhance button inserts tasteful ones you can edit.
