How prompting works
Write the script the way you want it spoken: short sentences, clear punctuation, and phonetic spellings for tricky names. Try a few voices and settings. For music, describe genre, instruments, mood and vocals.
A word on consent
Only clone or imitate a voice when you have the speaker’s permission and the right to use it. Check the platform’s terms and the law where you live.
