Voice Studio

Voice Studio lets you choose how an AI character sounds. Each character has one active voice. This is the character's default voice across supported voice features in ImagiPortal.

The active voice is used for:

• Spoken messages in conversations
• Voice and video calls
• Voice previews in the Arena
• Other supported media that uses the character's speech

The creator manages the character's voice. Other users can hear the saved voice when they interact with a public AI companion, but they cannot change it.

Open Voice Studio

1. Open My Characters.
2. Select a character that you created.
3. Open the character's profile.
4. Select Voice Studio.

You can set a voice while the character is private and change it later when you want the character to sound different.

Check the active voice

The Active voice card shows the voice currently saved for the character. It can include:

• The voice source, such as a library voice
• The voice name
• When it was last updated
• A play button for hearing a sample

Play the sample before making a change. This gives you a quick way to compare the current voice with other choices.

If there is no active voice, choose one from the voice library. A character needs an active voice before it can be submitted for publication review.

Choose a voice from the library

The voice library contains a large collection of ready-to-use voices.

1. Open Library voices in Voice Studio.
2. Search by name, style, accent, or tone.
3. Use the play button to preview a voice.
4. Select the voice you want.
5. Select Apply library voice.
6. Check the Active voice card to confirm the change.

The library may use the character's gender information to show relevant voices. If the results do not fit the character, check the character profile information and try another search.

Choose a voice that fits the character

There is no single correct voice. Look for a voice that matches the character's identity and the experience you want to create.

Consider:

• Age and energy: youthful, mature, calm, or energetic
• Accent: whether a particular accent supports the character's background
• Tone: warm, serious, playful, mysterious, confident, or gentle
• Speaking pace: relaxed, quick, measured, or dramatic
• Use case: casual chats, long roleplay sessions, or live calls

Preview several voices with headphones if possible. After applying one, test it with a short spoken message and a call. A voice can sound suitable in a short sample but feel different during a longer conversation.

Voice and speech style are different

The voice controls the sound you hear. It includes qualities such as tone, accent, age, and vocal character.

The speech style guides how the character expresses itself. It can describe rhythm, pace, word choice, and speaking manner.

For example, a character may use a warm voice but speak in short, formal sentences. Another character may use the same type of voice but speak in a playful and relaxed way.

The two settings work together:

Change a voice later

To replace the active voice, return to Voice Studio, select another voice, and apply it. New spoken messages and future calls use the newly saved active voice.

Changing the active voice does not rewrite audio or video that was already generated. Existing media keeps the sound that was created at that time.

If a saved voice is no longer supported, ImagiPortal asks you to return to Voice Studio. Choose and apply another library voice before generating new audio or starting a call.

Voice and publication

Voice setup is optional when you first create a private character. It becomes required when you want to submit that character for publication.

Before submitting a character for review:

1. Make sure an active voice is saved.
2. Play the active sample.
3. Check that the voice and speech style fit the character.
4. Test a spoken message or call.

If the voice does not sound right

Try these steps:

1. Preview a few voices with different tones or accents.
2. Check whether the character's speech style matches the intended personality.
3. Apply the new voice and test it in a short conversation.
4. Test a live call before using it for a longer session.
5. If a voice is unavailable or archived, select a supported library voice.

Call volume, speaker output, and microphone selection are device settings. They do not change the character's active voice.
