Creating a voice from a description

Describe the voice

1. In Voice Studio, choose Create a voice.
2. Write a direction, the way you would brief a casting director. For example: low, unhurried, with a coastal edge; warm, but tired of being polite. The field grows as you type.
3. Choose Create voice.

Voice Studio creates three versions in place. Each version is a possible voice for the character, not a take.

Stop

Choose Stop while the versions are being created. If you stop, nothing is created and nothing is used.

Then

Add any version to Compare and audition it on a line. See Auditioning voices.

Writing a good direction

• Start with the essentials: register, age, accent, pace.
• Add one or two qualities: dry, breathy, precise.
• Say what the character is like under pressure, not only at rest.
