“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 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 Voice Emotion Control
Voice emotion control comes from inline tags typed straight into a script, not a settings panel: mark a line [whispering], [laughing] or [angry] and the generated audio delivers it that way, free on every plan including Free. Vocalization tags — [laugh] [breathe] [clear_throat] [cough] [sigh] [yawn] — add the small human sounds a script alone can't specify, and every one of them is stripped from the SRT file, so captions stay clean while the audio stays expressive.

Do emotion tags cost extra or need a higher plan?
No, all emotion, delivery and vocalization tags are free on every plan, including Free.
Will the tags show up in my exported captions?
No, every tag is stripped out of the SRT automatically, so viewers never see stage directions in the captions.
Can I combine an emotion tag with a vocalization tag on the same line?
Yes, layering something like [sad] with a [sigh] on the same line is supported and reads more naturally than either alone.
Is this the same as changing the pitch of the voice?
No, emotion tags shift delivery and expressiveness, not pitch — there's no pitch control at all, only Speed and Temperature sliders.
