Selecting a voice.

The voice library typically includes a range of voices varying by gender, accent, age, and tone characteristics (warm, authoritative, energetic). Choose a voice matching the intended use case – a calm, warm voice for a meditation app differs meaningfully from an energetic, upbeat voice for an ad.

Inputting and formatting text.

Enter the script text to be voiced. Punctuation affects pacing – periods create pauses, commas create shorter pauses – so format the input script with intentional punctuation to guide natural-sounding delivery, not just for grammatical correctness.

Generating and reviewing.

Generate the clip and listen critically: does the pacing sound natural, is the emphasis appropriate for the content's meaning, and does the overall tone match the intended use? First attempts are a starting point, similar to other AI generation tools – refinement techniques are covered in the next course.

Assessing readiness.

A clip is ready when pacing, tone, and any pronunciation are correct for the intended use. A clip needing refinement might have pacing or emphasis issues (addressed in the next course); a clip needing a full restart usually has a fundamentally mismatched voice choice for the content.
