Free Narrator Voice Generator

How it works

1. Paste your narration script. Free clips are up to 500 characters, so long scripts work best split into scenes.
2. Keep the "Calm narrator preset" ticked. It lowers the pitch by 8 Hz and slows the pace by 8 percent. Brian is preselected; Andrew, Christopher and Ava also narrate well.
3. Press generate, listen, and download the MP3. For a UK, Indian or Australian narrator, switch the language first.

What makes a good narrator voice?

A narrator voice is calm, clear and easy to follow for a long time. It does not rush, it pauses at the end of each idea, and it sounds warm rather than salesy. That is what this page is set up for.

Brian is preselected because he has a relaxed, friendly tone that suits long reads. The narrator preset makes him a little lower and a little slower, which gives a steady storytelling pace. If you want an older, deeper, more cinematic narrator, try Christopher or Guy with the preset on, or use the deep voice generator for a much lower sound.

Narrator voices in UK, Indian and Australian English

Open the language menu to change the accent of your narration. English (India) has Neerja and Prabhat, a natural choice for Indian YouTube channels, school projects and story videos. English (UK) has Sonia, Libby, Ryan and Thomas for a British documentary feel. English (Australia) has Natasha and William.

The narrator preset works on every voice, so you can keep the same calm pace whichever accent you choose.

Tips for voice over narration

• Write for the ear. Short sentences of 10 to 20 words are easier to follow than long ones.
• Use commas and full stops to control pauses. A full stop gives a longer breath than a comma.
• Start a new paragraph for each scene, then generate one clip per scene. It is easier to edit and re-do.
• Spell out numbers and tricky names the way they should be read, such as "nineteen eighty-four" instead of "1984".
• Listen once at normal speed before you download. If it feels rushed, add a comma or split the sentence.

Four narration styles and how to get them

Whatever the style, the narrator should sound like the same calm guide from start to finish. Pick one voice, test it on your hardest paragraph, and stick with it.

• Documentary: keep the preset on and write in the present tense, with short, factual sentences. "The herd moves north. The rains are late."
• Story narration: let the narrator set the scene, then use a new sentence for each event. Questions and short pauses build suspense.
• YouTube explainer: open with a question, then answer it step by step. Untick the preset if you want a slightly faster, brighter pace.
• Audiobook: generate one paragraph at a time and keep the same voice and preset for the whole book, so the narrator never changes.

What it does and does not do

• It reads your text in a calm narrator style and gives you an MP3 you can use in any video editor.
• It changes the voice, pitch and speed only. It does not add music, echo, reverb or sound effects. Add those in your video editor.
• It does not copy any real person or any narrator from a film, show or anime. The voices are standard AI voices.
