Tips and Tricks
Just like creating English audio in Studio, you can still use our popular tips and tricks to handcraft your audio.
Here are some suggestions:
-
Pronunciation: if a word doesn't sound quite right, try using a creative spelling in that specific language to guide the AI.
-
Examples:
- In Spanish, Naranja can be spelled nahranja.
- In French, Orange can be spelled oranj.
-
Examples:
- Emphasis: place a word or phrase in quotation marks ("") to draw extra attention to it.
-
Adding a pause: use punctuation to guide pacing.
- Commas (,) add subtle pauses in places where a voice actor would make a slight pause.
- Periods (.) create stronger pauses and downward inflection. They are best used to break a long sentence into two pieces.
- Ellipses (...) add extra breathing room.

Limitations
Some features in Studio currently have limited support for global languages:
- Respelling is optimized for English only and is not yet available for other languages.
- Search does not support Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Persian, or Turkish characters; clip and project titles in these languages may not appear in search results.
- The Replacement Library supports only Latin-based characters. This feature is unavailable for any languages that do not use a Latin alphabet.
- Closed captions are not yet supported for all global languages.
We're actively working to expand language features and improve support in future updates.
