Turtle over the reef
Xander · Deep, serious documentary narrator
Beneath the warm shallows, a green sea turtle drifts over the reef. [pause] She has swum this coast for forty years, and every few summers she returns to the beach where she hatched. Small fish follow in her wake, picking at the algae on her shell. [pause] When the light fades, she will rise for one long breath of air, then sink back into the blue.

How do you make a narrator voice from text?
Paste your script into the narrator voice generator, pick a style such as documentary, audiobook, trailer or announcer, and press Generate speech. The style picks a narrator, the delivery and the music; change any of them before you generate. Then play the narration with its music and download it as MP3 or WAV, with or without the music.
Narration in three steps
Write the script, pick a style, listen and download.
Write or paste the script
Up to 30,000 characters (8,000 in Chinese, Japanese or Korean). Put [pause] where the narrator voice should stop for a second, and expression tags for a laugh or a sigh.
Pick a style
Documentary, fiction or nonfiction audiobook, folk tale, movie trailer, announcer, lesson or explainer. Each sets a narrator, a delivery and the music.
Listen and download
The narration plays with its music. Download MP3 or WAV with the music, the voice alone, or subtitles.
A narrator voice generator built around styles
Narration is more than a voice: a documentary, a trailer and a bedtime tale each need their own read and their own music.
A narration style in one click
Each style picks a narrator who suits it, the delivery and a music bed: a calm documentary voice over soft ambient music, a deep trailer voice over an orchestral score, a booming announcer over a bright groove. Every setting stays yours to change.
Music under the voice, mixed for you
The narrator voice generator lays the music well under the voice while it speaks, brings it up a little in the pauses, and fades it in and out. Soft keeps it 24 LU (loudness units, close to decibels) under the voice, strong 13 LU for trailers. The mix is made in your browser, so it costs no credits.
180+ narration voices
Narrator voices come first in the voice list: warm storytellers, measured documentary voices, British and American audiobook readers, Chinese narrators and more. Design a new narrator from a description, or clone your own voice for a series.
Movie trailer and announcer voices
Deep trailer voices read slow and heavy, [pause] leaves room between lines, and the trailer style adds a hit at the end of each line before a pause. The announcer style reads with big energy over a bright groove, for lineups, events and game shows.
The pace of every style, measured
We timed each sample on this page: the trailer reads about 110 words a minute, the explainer about 175 and the fiction audiobook about 200. Shorter sentences and more pauses make a read feel unhurried; [pause] adds a second of silence.
Names said right, files ready to use
Add names, brands and terms to the pronunciation list once, and every narration says them your way. Download MP3 or WAV with the music and SRT or VTT subtitles timed to it, or the voice alone with its own subtitles.
Narrator voice samples
Each script was written for this page and read by the narrator voice generator in its style and, where the style has music, mixed with it. Play one, switch to the voice alone, or open it in the studio with its settings.
Narrator voice guide: scripts, pace and music
How to write a script for a narrator
Narration is heard once, so write for the ear: short sentences, one idea each, and the most important words at the end of the sentence. Read it aloud yourself before you generate; anything you stumble on, the narrator will too.
- 1Write numbers, dates and abbreviations the way they should be said: “nineteen ninety-six,” “two thousand five.”
- 2Put [pause] between paragraphs and before a key line.
- 3Add names and technical terms to the pronunciation list.
- 4Pick the style, generate, and listen with the music before you download.
A trailer line works best under ten words. Give each one its own [pause].
Pace: how fast each style reads
We measured the samples on this page over the time the voice speaks, pauses left out: the movie trailer at about 110 words a minute, the announcer 127, the folk tale 152, the lesson 164, the explainer 174, the nonfiction audiobook 178, the documentary 179 and the fiction audiobook 198.
If a read feels quick, split long sentences and add [pause] between them. If it drags, cut words: a short script read well beats a long one read fast.
When to put music under a narration
Music sets the mood in the first second, which is why documentaries, trailers, explainers and sports intros use it. Audiobooks usually don’t: a whole chapter over music tires the ear, so the audiobook styles start with none.
Keep the music soft for anything people listen to closely, like lessons and documentaries, and strong for trailers and promos. The narrator voice generator always lowers the music while the voice speaks, so every word stays clear.
One narrator for a whole series
Listeners notice when a narrator changes. Whether it is a podcast series or an audiobook, keep one AI narrator voice: use the same voice for every episode or chapter, keep its delivery the same, and keep your pronunciation list, which applies to every run.
For a voice nobody else uses, design your own narrator from a description, or clone your own voice and narrate in it.
Trailer and announcer reads
A trailer is built from short lines with silence between them: a setting, a turn, a promise, the title. Write it that way and let the trailer style put a hit at the end of each line before a pause, up to eight in a narration.
An announcer read is the opposite: big energy, names called out, one rising line after another. Write the names the way the crowd should hear them, and put [pause] where the cheer goes.
Long narration and audiobook chapters
Each run reads up to 30,000 characters, about half an hour. For a book, generate one chapter at a time with the same narrator voice and delivery, and put each chapter’s title on its first line, like “Chapter Three”: the files you download are named after it.
