Creating Distinct Character Voices for Audiobooks
Vois TeamTLDR:Create distinct character voices using voice blending, pacing variation, and consistent tagging. Document each character's voice settings for consistency across chapters.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many distinct voices can I use in an audiobook?
There's no technical limit, but listener comprehension matters. Most audiobooks work well with 4-8 clearly distinct character voices, plus a narrator voice. More voices risk confusion.
Should the narrator voice be different from character voices?
Yes. Keep narration in a neutral, consistent voice. Use distinct voices for dialogue only. This helps listeners track when they're hearing narration versus character speech.
