Storybook pacing out of the box
The narrator preset asks for a warm, calm read with a measured pace and gentle pauses between sentences. Paragraph breaks breathe, questions lift and endings settle, so a story sounds told rather than recited.

Once upon a time, at the edge of a sleepy town, there stood a lighthouse that had forgotten how to shine. Every night, a small gray cat climbed its winding stairs, hoping to find the light again. Tonight, she finally would.
Use the Slower delivery for bedtime.
Every autumn, millions of monarch butterflies fly up to three thousand miles to forests they have never seen. No one shows them the way. So how do they find it?

Here's the problem with most to-do lists: they tell you what to do, but not when. In the next three minutes, we'll fix that with one simple habit, and you can start using it today.
Try Erinome or Iapetus for a crisp, clear explainer.
Chapter One. The letter arrived on a Tuesday, which was strange, because nothing interesting had ever happened to Nora Finch on a Tuesday. She turned it over twice, noticed there was no stamp, and opened it anyway.
On the night of March ninth, every light in the old Bellweather Hotel switched on at once. The building had been empty for eleven years. This is the story of who turned them on, and why.
Voice Enceladus with the Slower delivery.
Long before the kingdoms had names, the sky held two moons. When one fell into the sea, the tides changed, the old roads drowned and a new age began. You were born on the night it fell.
Voice Gacrux, Slower delivery, then Cave echo.
How it works
How to use the narrator voice generator
Four steps from script to narration track. Longer pieces are made clip by clip with the same settings. Generating needs a free account.
Step 1
Paste a section of your script
Each clip takes up to 1,000 billable characters, roughly a minute of English narration. Paste one paragraph or scene at a time, or press Use this above to start from a sample opening.
Step 2
Choose the storyteller
The narrator preset uses Achird, a friendly male voice with a warm, measured pace. Switch to Sulafat for a warm female storyteller or Charon for a documentary tone, then pick Calm or Slower to set the pace.
Step 3
Generate and listen back
Press Generate; the credit cost is shown on the button first. Clips are usually ready in 10 to 30 seconds, and a failed generation is refunded automatically. Check names and numbers before you move on.
Step 4
Download and build the track
Download each clip as a WAV and line them up in your editor. Keep the voice and delivery the same for every section so the whole narration sounds like one continuous read.
Quick reference
Pick a story narration voice for the job
Six common narration jobs with a starting setup for each, using the voice menu and deliveries in the tool card.
| Job | Voice | Delivery | Effect | Pacing tip |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bedtime story | Achird (preset) | Slower | Original | Short sentences, soft endings |
| Fairy tale for young kids | Vindemiatrix | Calm | Original | Repeat the key phrase |
| YouTube explainer | Erinome | As preset | Original | One idea per sentence |
| Nature documentary | Charon | Calm | Original | Pause before the question |
| Mystery or true-story podcast | Enceladus | Slower | Original | Dates and places up front |
| Game lore intro | Gacrux | Slower | Cave echo | End on the player |
All voices are in the voice menu (Achird: friendly, Vindemiatrix: gentle, Erinome: clear, Charon: informative, Enceladus: breathy, Gacrux: mature). Generate one test paragraph with two or three of them before you narrate the whole script.
Highlights
An AI narrator voice that keeps listeners with you
Narration is long-form listening, so the preset is tuned for warmth, clarity and pace rather than drama.
Thirty voices for every kind of story
Pick a gentle female voice for children's stories, an informative male voice for documentaries or a clear one for tutorials. The delivery chips adjust pace and energy without changing who is speaking.
Built for long scripts, one clip at a time
Each clip holds up to 1,000 billable characters, about a minute of English. Split a long script by paragraph and keep the same voice and delivery; then you can fix one line without redoing the whole chapter.
Clips saved and ready to edit
Every narration downloads as a 16-bit WAV that drops into any video or audio editor without converting. The originals stay in My voices, so you can download a section again while you edit.
How to write a script that narrates well
Write for the ear, not the page. Spoken sentences should be shorter than written ones, ideally one idea each, with the most important word near the end, where the voice naturally lands. Read your script aloud once before generating: wherever you run out of breath, the narrator will sound rushed too.
Punctuation sets the pace. A period gives a full stop, a comma a short breath and an ellipsis a lingering pause. A paragraph break is a good place for a longer beat, and a <long pause> tag marks a deliberate one, such as before a reveal. Spell out numbers, dates and abbreviations the way you want them said.
- Front-load context: open each section with who, where and when, so listeners never have to rewind.
- Numbers as words: write nineteen eighty-four or three thousand miles when the reading matters.
- Tags in moderation: <long pause>, <sigh> or <chuckle> can bring a story to life, but each counts as 20 billable characters.
- Check names: if a name is mispronounced, spell it phonetically and generate that section again.
Storyteller voice generator tips for YouTube, kids and audiobooks
YouTube and explainers: keep the delivery on As preset or Calm, cut long sentences in half and generate one section per scene, so the narration lines up with your cuts. Kids' stories: choose a gentle voice, the Slower delivery and plenty of repetition; young listeners love a line that keeps coming back.
Audiobooks and long reads: generate chapter by chapter in sections of about a minute, with identical settings, and listen to each one before moving on. Some audiobook stores have their own rules about AI narration, so check them before you publish. For trailers and intros with more punch, try the movie trailer voice generator, or get a rich, low read from the deep voice generator.

The quickest way to find out is to try it yourself. It only takes a minute.
You can try it once for free. Generating needs a free account, and after that each clip uses credits. The Generate button shows the cost before you press it, and failed generations are refunded automatically.
Yes, as a paid user. With an active subscription or purchased credits, you can use clips in monetized videos, courses, podcasts and audiobooks. Clips made with free trial credits are for personal, non-commercial use. Some platforms and stores have their own rules on AI narration and disclosure, so check them before you upload.
Each clip holds up to 1,000 billable characters, roughly a minute of English or about 330 Chinese characters. For longer pieces, generate section by section with the same voice and delivery and join the WAV files in your editor. You can make as many sections as your credits allow.
It depends on the story. Achird, the preset, is friendly and warm for most narration; Sulafat and Vindemiatrix are warm, gentle female voices for children's stories; Charon and Rasalgethi suit documentaries; Erinome and Iapetus are clear for tutorials. Generate one paragraph with two or three of them and compare.
Choose the Slower or Calm delivery for a relaxed read, then shape the timing with punctuation: periods for full stops, commas for breaths and ellipses for lingering pauses. Add <long pause> wherever you want a deliberate beat. Shorter sentences always sound less rushed.
Yes. Paste the script in the language you need and the narrator keeps its warm, measured delivery. Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters count as 3 billable characters each, so a clip holds about a third as many of them as English letters.
No. The narrator is an original AI voice. We don't clone famous narrators, actors or audiobook readers, and you shouldn't present a clip as one of them. Other original presets are in the AI voice generators.
A WAV file: 16-bit mono audio that any video editor, podcast tool or audiobook workflow can import. Every clip also stays in My voices, so you can download it again later.
