Use subgenre-specific tags rather than just "celtic". Each celtic subgenre has distinct characteristics. Irish Traditional sounds completely different from Celtic Rock. Add genre-defining instrumentation and production tags. Suno responds best to specific, well-chosen descriptors.
It depends on the subgenre. Irish Traditional typically uses different vocal approaches than Celtic Rock. Always specify male or female vocals plus a texture descriptor like smooth, raspy, powerful, or breathy. Without vocal direction, Suno picks randomly and results become inconsistent.
Yes. Add "instrumental" or "no vocals" to your style prompt along with your celtic tags. This works well for celtic since the genre has strong instrumental traditions. Focus on detailed instrumentation and production tags to guide the AI without vocal cues.
