Create Character Voices

A wardrobe for voice work

Create character voices with AI, one role at a time

A character voice starts as a description: who is speaking, how old they sound, how fast they talk and what they want. This site is about turning that description into a voice with AI tools, refining it, and using it in videos, games and stories.

Our story How we write

On the rail

Voice types and what each one needs

Most characters fall into a handful of familiar roles. Knowing the role tells you which qualities to describe first.

  • Lead role

    Villain

    Pitch, pace and control. Menace usually comes from slow delivery and deliberate pauses more than from volume.

  • Holds the story

    Narrator

    Clarity and stamina. A narrator has to stay steady and easy to follow across long passages without flattening out.

  • Comic relief

    Sidekick

    Energy and timing. Higher pitch and quicker rhythm, with room to react to whoever is speaking alongside.

  • Guide

    Mentor

    Age and warmth. A slightly lower, unhurried voice that sounds like it has explained this before.

  • Non-human

    Creature

    Texture over words. Growls, rasps and breath matter more here, and so does how far the voice is processed.

  • Front of house

    Announcer

    Projection and polish. Bright, confident and evenly paced, built to cut through music and sound effects.

From the fitting room

From a description to a finished voice

Creating a character voice with AI follows the same three moves, whatever the tool.

  1. First

    Describe the voice

    Write down age, accent, pitch, pace and mood, then the role the character plays. A clear brief gets closer on the first attempt.

  2. Then

    Generate and refine

    Generate a few takes, keep what fits, and adjust one quality at a time until the voice sounds like the same person in every line.

  3. Finally

    Put it to work

    Export the lines for a video, a game or an audio story, and keep your settings so the character sounds the same next time.

Before it goes on stage

Checks before you use a generated voice

  • Usage terms

    Read what the tool allows for the voices it generates, especially for commercial projects, games and paid releases.

  • Consent for real voices

    Cloning or imitating a real person's voice needs their permission. A character voice should be its own creation.

  • Consistency across scenes

    Save the description and settings for each character, so a voice made in one session still matches the next.

  • Labelling

    Some platforms ask creators to say when audio is AI generated. Check the rules where your work will be published.
