Creating Guided Meditations That Actually Sound Peaceful
Vois TeamTLDR:Guided meditation audio needs extreme slowness (80-100 WPM), consistent calm energy, and professional quality. AI voices eliminate the challenges of maintaining zen-like composure through entire recordings. Focus on warm, low-pitched voices, generous pauses between phrases, and ambient silence rather than background music. Test with actual practitioners.
Frequently Asked Questions
What speaking pace works for guided meditation?
80-100 words per minute—significantly slower than normal speech (150 WPM). For body scan or deep relaxation content, go even slower. The goal is giving listeners time to actually follow instructions and experience what you're describing.
Should guided meditations have background music?
Not necessarily. Many practitioners prefer pure voice with silence between phrases. If you add music, keep it extremely subtle—barely audible. Music that's too present competes with the voice and can distract rather than enhance.
Can AI voices achieve the calm needed for meditation content?
Yes. Modern AI voices can produce consistently calm, measured delivery that's difficult for humans to maintain through long recordings. The key is selecting voices with natural warmth and setting the pace slower than you think necessary.
