Discover how to create truly vibrant AI voices using ElevenLabs TTS. With the right settings and techniques, you can produce warm, welcoming tones that convey versatility and friendliness in your projects.
How to Create a Warm and Welcoming TTS Voice
To create a TTS output that sounds warm and welcoming, you'll need to adjust the stability and similarity sliders to produce a versatile and vibrant tone. Here’s how you might modify your routine:
- Stability Slider: Set the stability slider to a moderate value, around 50-60. This ensures a smooth and velvety voice, maintaining a warm and welcoming quality.
- Similarity Slider: Set the similarity slider to a moderate to high value, around 60-70. This allows the voice to have enough variation to sound versatile and engaging while retaining a friendly tone.
Example Routine
In your adjusted ElevenLabs TTS routine for creating a warm and welcoming voice, you would proceed as follows:
- Stability Slider at 50-60: Setting the stability slider to 50-60 maintains smoothness in the speech, creating a warm and velvety tone.
- Similarity Slider at 60-70: Setting the similarity slider to 60-70 allows for some variation, incorporating vibrant and engaging inflections while keeping the voice welcoming.
Using the Exaggeration Slider
The exaggeration slider in ElevenLabs TTS can be helpful when trying to achieve a specific tone such as warm and welcoming. It allows you to amplify the expressiveness of the generated voice, making emotional tones more pronounced.
How the Exaggeration Slider Works
Exaggeration Slider: This slider adjusts the intensity of the expressiveness in the voice. At moderate values, the emotional cues in the speech are pronounced enough to create a vibrant and engaging tone.
For a Warm and Welcoming Tone
To make the voice sound more warm and welcoming, you can set the exaggeration slider to a moderate value. This will enhance the friendly and vibrant characteristics, making the voice sound more inviting and expressive.
Example Routine
- Stability Slider: Set to 50-60. This ensures a smooth and velvety quality to the voice.
- Similarity Slider: Set to 60-70. This allows for enough variation to sound versatile while maintaining a friendly tone.
- Exaggeration Slider: Set to a moderate value, around 50-60. This enhances the expressiveness, making the voice sound more vibrant and engaging.
