How to generate your first voiceover

1. Describe your voice requirements. Select from 300+ pre-built voices or describe desired voice characteristics (age range, gender, accent, personality). Specify your target emotion (happy, neutral, calm, energetic), speaking pace (fast for urgency, slow for comprehension), and any vocal personality traits that match your content or brand identity.
2. Configure your settings. Input your text (up to 10,000 characters), select emotional tone, adjust speech speed and pitch if needed, set volume levels, and choose output audio format. You can test variations with different emotional expressions or speaking paces to see which best suits your project.
