“I sent it off to 5 people (including my husband) without any context and asked for their objective feedback. … not a single person questioned if it was truly me/my voice.”

About this tool
Everything you need to know about Design a Voice From a Description
Designing a voice from a description works backward from ordinary text to speech: instead of typing a script for a voice you already picked, you type a description of the voice itself — an unhurried older narrator with a slight rasp, for example — and the engine designs an original voice to match, returning preview takes reading a fixed demo line so you judge the voice, not the wording. The description must be written in English in plain ASCII; curly quotes and accented letters are folded automatically, but the words themselves need to stay in English.

FAQ
Design a Voice From a Description — FAQ
Something not covered here? Contact us · support@vocallab.ai
Do I type a script or a description of the voice?
A description of the voice only — its age, accent, pace and texture. The words it speaks in the preview are fixed in the free demo.
Can I write the description in another language?
No, the description has to be written in English in plain ASCII characters, though the resulting voice can still speak other languages.
What's the difference between this and generating speech from text?
Text to speech turns a script into audio using a voice you already picked; here the text describes the voice itself before anything is written for it to say.
What happens after I pick a take?
Name it and save it, and from then on it generates like any other voice in your library, with no need to redesign it.
