Frequently
asked questions
What is AI voice design?
AI voice design starts with a written description of the voice you have in mind. Details such as texture, age, accent, pacing and emotion help express your creative direction.
Where do I start designing a voice?
Write a short description in the prompt above or choose one of the example characters. Your prompt then continues to the voice studio.
When is a custom voice prompt useful?
Use one when an existing voice does not quite express your character or project. A clear prompt helps you articulate what is missing before you explore a new direction.
What types of voices can I describe?
You can describe realistic narrators and expressive fictional characters alike, from a gentle storyteller to a quick-witted explorer. Be specific about how the voice should feel and speak.
How can I write a better voice prompt?
Begin with the speaker’s role, then add a few precise traits: vocal texture, accent if relevant, pace and emotional intention. A short, coherent description is a useful starting point.
