Voice steering

Same line. Different direction.

Tell a voice how to say a line in plain English, in brackets at the start. Each line below is read twice by the same voice: once told to read it flat, once given a direction.

  • YouTube hook
    Sarah
    [say with hyped, high energy like a YouTube intro]

    Stop scrolling. In the next sixty seconds, I'm going to show you the trick that doubled my channel.

  • Bedtime story
    Luna
    [whisper very softly and slowly, barely above a breath, like a parent beside a sleeping child]

    Close your eyes, little one. breathe The moon is listening, and tonight it has a story just for you.

  • News anchor
    Rupert
    [say like a dramatic breaking-news anchor, urgent and authoritative, punching the key words]

    Good evening. Tonight, a small coastal town makes history as the first in the country to run entirely on solar power.

  • Emotional audiobook
    Wendy
    [say sadly with a trembling voice, holding back tears]

    She read the letter twice before she understood. sigh He wasn't coming home. Not this winter, not ever.

  • Sarcastic comedy
    Nate
    [say with thick, mocking sarcasm, stretching the words, fake-cheerful and exasperated]

    Oh, great. Another meeting that could have been an email. sigh Truly the highlight of my week.

  • Thriller villain
    Victor
    [say slowly in a menacing, low whisper]

    You thought you could hide from me? I have been watching you since the day you arrived in this city.

    Audiobook better than that "Other App"

    “VocalLab AI nailed the process, and the output is better. Way better. I love the ability to steer voices and ease of adding emotions/ sighs/ coughs.”

    I rarely leave reviews, but this one earned it

    “It's fast and dead simple to use: paste your text, pick a voice, done. No fuss, no learning curve.”

    This is the first!

    “I just redid a whole video worth of audio of my voice clone on Vocallab because it did it much better than Elevenlabs.”

    Excellent product and customer service

    “As a professor who records frequent online lectures, I’ve found Vocallab AI to be an incredible tool for my workflow. The voice quality is remarkably lifelike…”

    Bought it, used it, love it

    “I described the Dutch voice that I needed (did that part in English), selected Dutch, provided a demo text, and was presented with 3 options, of which 2 were to my liking.”

    I'm impressed.

    “I can upload a Word document, select automatic casting, click a button, and out comes a fully dramatised audiobook with different voices and performances.”

FAQ

Questions, answered

What is VocalLab?

VocalLab is an AI voice studio. You can turn text into speech with 260+ voices in 15+ languages, direct how each line is delivered, clone your own voice, design new voices, turn ebooks into multi-voice audiobooks, make two-host podcasts, dub videos and transcribe audio.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Sign up without a card and you get 60 points, about one minute of audio, plus one voice clone. That is enough to hear every voice and test your own.

How do points work?

One point is roughly one second of audio, about 17 characters of text. A 60-second voiceover uses around 60 points. Paid plans refill every billing cycle.

What is voice steering?

You put a direction in square brackets at the start of a line, like [whisper like a secret] or [say excitedly], and the voice performs it. Sound tags such as [laugh], [sigh] and [breathe] work on every plan. Written directions need the VocalLab Studio model, which comes with Pro.

Can I clone my own voice?

Yes. Record or upload a short, clean sample and your voice is ready in about a minute. The free plan includes one clone; paid plans let you clone as many times as you like.

Can I use the audio commercially?

Audio made on a paid plan comes with a commercial-use license for videos, ads, apps, courses and audiobooks. The free plan is for personal testing.

Which languages are supported?

English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Russian, Dutch, Polish, Hindi, Arabic and Hebrew, with native voices for each.

Can I cancel or get a refund?

You can cancel anytime from your billing page. New subscriptions have a 7-day money-back window, subject to our refund policy.

Your next voiceover is one line away.
