How to Give Your Bot a Voice

Giving your bot a custom voice is an easy way to make it feel more personal, expressive, and aligned with your concept. Whether you want a fun, character-like voice or something that sounds more like you, adding a voice helps bring your bot to life in rooms, videos, and interactions. You can create a voice from scratch with a text prompt or clone a real voice you have permission to use.

Where to Add or Change a Bot's Voice

You can manage your bot's voice directly from its profile:

1. Open your Bot Profile.
2. Select Edit to customize your bot's settings.
3. Find the Voice section - this is where you can create, upload or assign a voice.

Option 1: Create a Voice Using a Text Prompt

If you want to design a voice from scratch:

1. Choose Create Voice.
2. Select the Text Prompt option.
3. Describe the style you want—e.g., “warm and friendly,” “dramatic narrator,” or “energetic high-pitched voice.” Remember - if you’ve already filled out your bot’s prompt, a suggested voice prompt will autopopulate.
4. Preview the generated voice.
5. Save it to apply to your bot.

Option 2: Clone a Voice

Voice cloning allows you to make a digital copy of someone's voice so your bot can talk in rooms or videos. Just remember - you should only use your own voice or one you have permission to use.

If you want to clone a voice:

1. Choose create voice.
2. Select the Clone Voice option. 
3. To "upload" a voice, tap Upload Video. Please note the video must be 8 seconds long with clear audio and no background noise. 
4. To "record" a voice, tap Record Audio. Please ensure when recording you are in a space with minimal background noise and record a minimum of 8 seconds.

5. For both options, select a clip of audio you would like to clone. Tap Clone. 

6. Preview the generated voice.
7. Save it to apply it to your bot.

When you're done creating your voice, hit Done at the top right corner to save. You can test the voice out in rooms or by creating a video.

Voice Library 

From the video editor, you can find the Voice Library that stores all the voices you've generated.

Responsible Use

Only create or clone voices you have permission to use. Do not upload someone else's voice without consent, and avoid prompts that violate Cantina's Community Guidelines, including hate speech or other abusive content. See Voice Creation Guidelines for specific prompting and cloning rules. Misuse may result in warnings or account restrictions.
