An AI voice generator with 38 voices, and yours.

Thirty-eight voices is a lot. The quickest way to choose is to ignore the names and use your ears. Here is a method that works.

1. 1

   Narrow it down by type

   Use the All, Female and Male filters in the Studio, or the accent filters on the standard voices page. Decide US or UK first, because that choice changes the feel the most.

   

2. 2

   Listen to three

   Play the sample of three voices in a row. Do not decide yet. Notice which one you can listen to for two minutes without getting tired of it.

3. 3

   Test it on your own words

   Samples are one sentence. Your script is not. Generate the first lines of your real script before you commit.

   

On the Clonylab home page, eight voices are shown doing a job each. These are examples, not rules. Any voice can read any script.

Names like Alloy, Echo, Fable, Onyx and Nova, and Aoede, Kore, Puck and Fenrir, also appear in other products. The Clonylab voices with those names are different voices, so do not expect them to sound the same.

The 38 voices come from two open voice engines, and you will see the difference in how they are labeled.

You do not need to care about the engine to use the voices. It is useful to know that “neutral” voices come from Piper, and that the Studio shows each voice’s download size, which differs by voice.

Standard voices are shared by everyone. A cloned voice is yours. Record about 10 seconds, confirm it is your voice, and the Studio adds it under Cloned, next to the standard voices. You can mix them in one script by using a voice tag, such as [Adam], to switch the speaker from that point on.

Read the whole flow on the voice clone online page. On the free plan you can clone up to 3 voices.

Add pauses and style tags to direct the reading. The AI voiceover generator page shows how.

Samples tell you how a voice sounds in a single sentence. These three auditions tell you how it behaves in your work.

On the free plan, use your 300 characters for the first two. Pro lets you run all three as often as you like.

You are not tied to one voice per file. Write a voice name in square brackets, and that voice speaks from there until you name another. That is how you make a short dialogue.

Both voices need to be available to you. The standard voices always are, and your cloned voices work too. The AI voiceover generator page explains more of the tags.

• Picking by name. The names mean nothing. Pick by ear.
• Deciding on one sentence. Test your own text.
• Mixing accents without meaning to. US and UK voices side by side can feel like a mistake.
• Ignoring the download. The Studio shows each voice’s size, and the first use downloads it.
• Forgetting your own voice. If your content should sound like you, a clone beats every premade voice.

And if you need the licence picture for business use, text to speech for commercial use covers it.

Voices show up in three places, and each one answers a different question.

The public page lets you decide before you sign up. The Studio is where you do the work.

Clonylab labels each voice as female, male or neutral. Female and male voices come from the Kokoro engine. Neutral voices come from the Piper engine, which does not tag a voice as female or male.

If you want a voice that does not lean either way, start with the neutral list. If you are not sure, press play on a few from each group.

• Hear them by accent: British text to speech and American text to speech.
• Direct a voice with the AI voiceover generator.
• Make a voice of your own on the voice clone online page.
