How to Prompt
Prompting for a Voice
For the best results with Voice Design:
- Be specific: The more details you provide in your prompt, the closer the result will match your vision
- Consider consistency: Think about how the voice will sound across different types of content
- Experiment: Don't be afraid to try different prompts if the first attempt doesn't yield exactly what you want
Important Voice Attributes
When crafting your voice prompt, focus on these key attributes for the best results:
| Attribute | Importance | Examples | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age | High | Young adult, middle-aged, elderly, teen | Helps establish the maturity and timbre of the voice |
| Accent | High | Australian, Indian, British, Southern American | Defines pronunciation patterns and speech rhythms |
| Gender | High | Male, female, androgynous, non-binary | Influences fundamental voice characteristics |
| Emotional Tone | Medium | Cheerful, serious, soothing, energetic | Sets the default emotional quality of the voice |
| Speaking Style | Medium | Conversational, formal, storytelling, authoritative | Defines how the voice naturally communicates |
