Understanding voice types: Audio guided vs Text guided
When selecting AI voices for your characters, you'll notice that each voice is labeled as either "Audio guided" or "Text guided". These labels indicate how the voice generates speech and what customization options are available.
Audio guided voices
Audio guided voices use your own voice recordings as reference to generate speech. This approach provides the most accurate and personalized results, especially for complex emotional delivery or specific character traits.
How to use Audio guided voices
Step 1: Select an audio guided voice
Choose a voice marked with "Audio guided" badge from the voice selection menu. These voices are specifically designed to work with your audio recordings.
Step 2: Open settings for each line
Each dialogue line has a settings button (⋯) on the right side. Click this button to access individual line settings where you can add audio references.
Step 3: Record your reference audio
In the line settings, find the Add audio reference button and record yourself speaking that line.
When you finish recording, click the "Trim" button to apply the audio reference. Speak at your desired pace, tone, and emotional intensity - the AI will match your delivery.
Step 4: Preview and adjust
Use the play button to preview how the AI voice sounds with your reference. Delete and record again if you'll need to achieve the perfect delivery for the character.
Text guided voices
Text guided voices analyze the text content and punctuation to generate natural-sounding speech. They're faster to set up and include built-in emotional awareness for common speech patterns.
How to use text guided voices
Step 1: Select a text guided voice
Choose a voice marked with "Text guided" badge. These voices use built-in AI understanding to interpret your text naturally.
Step 2: Open settings for each line
Each dialogue line has a settings button (⋯) on the right side. Click this button to access individual line settings where you can add audio references.
Step 3: Add speech instructions (optional)
For better control, add acting instructions in the Speech instructions field. Examples: "excitedly", "whispering", "angrily", "sadly".
Remember, you can always change voice types during your rehearsal process. Start with text-guided voices for quick setup, then switch to audio-guided if you need more precision for specific lines or characters.
