Voice Assignment
Assign voices to speakers, characters, and sections in your project for multi-narrator audiobooks and scripted content.
Voice assignment lets you map different voices to different parts of your project. Use any combination of built-in voices, cloned voices, and designed voices from the Lab.
Voice Sources
You can assign voices from any of these sources:
- Built-in voices from the TTS tab in Lab
- Cloned voices from the Clone tab in Lab
- Designed voices from the Design tab in Lab
- Community voices imported from Voice Search
Mix and match freely. For example, use a cloned narrator voice for prose and designed character voices for dialogue.
Assigning Voices
Voice assignment works at three levels:
Default Voice
Set a default voice for the entire project. This voice is used for all segments across all sections unless you override it. For single-narrator content, this may be the only voice you need.
Per-Segment Overrides
Override the default voice for any individual segment. Select the segment and choose a different voice from the voice dropdown. This is useful for segments that belong entirely to a different speaker or character.
Inline Voice Spans
For the most granular control, highlight a span of text within a segment and assign a different voice to just that selection. This lets you handle cases like:
- Quoted dialogue embedded in narration
- A character interrupting the narrator
- Multiple speakers within a single paragraph
The surrounding text keeps its current voice while the highlighted span uses the override voice.
Workflow Tips
- Save voices to your library in the Lab before starting a project so they are ready to assign
- Preview before bulk generation. Generate a few key segments first to make sure each voice sounds right in context before generating the full project
