Start by narrowing down your voice options to a shortlist. From there, test your top picks against a piece of your actual script — not just a generic sample — to hear how each one really performs.

Narrowing your options

1. In the Voices library, open the filter sidebar.
2. Filter by gender, style, accent, age, or characteristic (like Warm, Confident, Authoritative) to match the tone you're going for.
3. Click the play icon on a voice to preview its default sample.

Testing your top voices

1. Choose two or three voices from your filtered results.
2. Click on Use voice to create a section for each one.
3. Paste the same script excerpt into each section.
4. Click the play icon on each section to generate a take.

Playing back takes side by side, using the same excerpt, is the fastest way to tell which voice actually fits your content.

Picking your favorite

Once you've settled on a voice, click the heart icon to favorite it. Favorited voices are saved for quick reuse on future projects — see Favoriting a Voice for more.

FAQs

Q: Does testing voices use up my downloaded minutes? 

A: No. Generating a take to preview or compare voices doesn't count against your minute quota — only audio you actually download does, so audition as many voices as you'd like.
