No sign-up needed

Start from a sample script:

115 / 500 characters

Free clips are up to 500 characters, with no sign-up and no watermark. Longer scripts, voice cloning and more voices are on the paid plans.

How it works

  1. Type or paste your script. Free clips are up to 500 characters.
  2. Leave the "Old man preset" ticked. It lowers the pitch by 10 Hz and slows the speed by 25 percent. Roger is preselected; Christopher and the British voice Thomas also work well.
  3. Press generate, listen, and download the MP3. Untick the preset to hear the normal voice.

What does this old man voice sound like?

It is a mature male voice that speaks slowly and a little lower, like a calm grandfather telling a story. It comes from a standard AI voice with the speed slowed down and the pitch lowered slightly.

It is not a shaky, raspy or crackly voice, and it does not sound like a real 80-year-old. It sounds older, slower and wiser than the normal voice.

Tips for a better elderly voice

  • Write in a storyteller style: "Come sit by me", "Long ago", "When I was your age".
  • Use commas and full stops often. Pauses make the voice sound more thoughtful.
  • Spell out years and numbers the way they should be said.
  • For a British wise elder, pick Thomas (English, UK) with the preset on.
  • Want it deeper? Try the deep voice generator. Want it jolly? Try the Santa voice generator.

Where an old man voice works well

  • Bedtime stories and kids' audiobooks told by a grandpa character.
  • Game characters: elders, wizards, shopkeepers and quest givers.
  • History, documentary and nostalgia videos.
  • Life-lesson and motivation reels.
  • Animations, short films and comedy sketches.

What this tool does and does not do

  • It reads your text in a slow, older male voice and gives you an MP3.
  • It does not add rasp, tremor or any audio effect, and it does not change a recording of your voice.
  • It does not copy any actor, celebrity or film character, and it is not for pretending to be a real person.

Frequently asked questions

Is the old man voice generator free?

Yes. The box is free with no sign-up and no watermark, up to 500 characters per clip, with an MP3 download. Longer scripts and more voices are on the paid plans.

How does the old man voice work?

The preset slows a mature AI voice by 25 percent and lowers its pitch by 10 Hz. The slower pace is what makes it sound older.

Can I change my own voice into an old man voice?

No. This is text to speech only. You type the words and the AI voice reads them; there is no upload or live voice changer.

Can I make it sound raspy or shaky?

No. The tool does not add effects. For a different feel, try another voice with the preset on, or add effects to the MP3 in an audio editor.

Does it work in other languages?

Yes. Pick any voice in the list and the preset is applied to it, so you can make an older-sounding voice in many languages.

Can I use it in audiobooks, YouTube videos or games?

Yes, you can download the MP3 and use it in your videos, stories and games. Check each platform's rules on labelling AI-generated audio.

Need more than a short clip?

The free box above is capped at 500 characters per clip. If you need longer scripts (up to 5,000 characters per generation), voice cloning or higher-quality voices, take a look at the plans. Nothing here is required to use the free tool.
