About English in Voxmint
In English, the accent your audience expects matters more than any setting you change later. A British nature documentary, an Indian tech explainer and a Texas radio spot each need a different speaker. Imogen reads in a refined British RP, Harper is a clear General American assistant, Beau has a relaxed Southern drawl, and Chidi, Wanjiru and Thandi bring Nigerian, Kenyan and South African English to radio, news and training.
The accent comes from the voice; the spelling and vocabulary come from your script. Write “colour”, “queue” and “holiday” for a British voice, and “color”, “line” and “vacation” for an American one. Local words help too: Ruby’s sample says “G’day”, Beau’s says “y’all”, and Ellis tells you to “grab a brew”. That wording is a large part of why each one sounds at home.
Write dates and numbers the way your listeners say them, such as “the twelfth of March” for a UK audience and “March twelfth” for a US one. If an acronym should be read letter by letter, write “A P I”, or give the words in full. If a name or brand comes out wrong, adjust its spelling until it sounds right.
Punctuation is your direction. A comma gives a short breath, a full stop a longer pause, and a blank line between paragraphs adds room. Short sentences sound more natural than long ones: if you run out of breath reading a line aloud, so will the voice. Always test a paragraph of your real script, not just the sample.
For casting, start with the format. Hollis, Atlas and Hamish suit documentary narration; Imogen and June suit audiobooks and storytelling, and Ambrose is made for bedtime stories. Marlowe, Owen and Wanjiru read the news. Linus, Thandi and Ananya teach and explain, Sable and Siobhán host podcasts, and Kestrel cuts trailers. Each catalogue voice is the same speaker every time, so a whole series stays consistent. When no voice fits, such as a Welsh storyteller or a Midlands presenter, describe one in a sentence and voice design creates it.
Design a English voice
Describe the voice you want, for example:
A gravelly Welsh man in his sixties with a soft, musical lilt and a slow, kindly pace, like a storyteller by the fire in a village pub.
Voice design creates a new voice from that description, no recording needed.
Use cases
What people make with English voices
Documentaries and narration
Hollis’s deep, deliberate delivery, Callum’s Scottish warmth out on the hills and Hamish’s quiet New Zealand calm suit nature films, history and long-form narration.
Audiobooks and storytelling
Imogen reads literary fiction in polished British RP, while June and Ambrose bring the gentle, unhurried warmth of a grandparent telling a story.
Advertising and social video
Poppy’s bubbly London energy, Ruby’s sunny Australian cheer, Wren’s upbeat friendliness and Beau’s Texas charm cover product launches, travel spots and radio ads.
E-learning and explainers
Linus, Thandi, Ananya and Rafi explain patiently and clearly, in American-neutral, South African and Indian English, so learners hear a voice that sounds familiar.
Assistants, help lines and news
Harper’s reassuring General American voice fits virtual assistants and phone menus, and Marlowe, Owen and Wanjiru deliver news and corporate updates with even, professional pacing.
Questions
- British or American English: which should I use?
- Match your audience and keep the script consistent with the voice. Use Imogen, Ambrose or Poppy with British spelling for UK listeners, and Harper or Beau with American spelling for US listeners. For an international audience, a voice with no regional label, such as Atlas or Marlowe, is a safe default.
- Which English voice is best for audiobooks?
- Imogen is a literary audiobook narrator in British RP, and June and Ambrose suit children’s stories and gentle fiction. Test a full page of your book, because pacing over long passages is what really matters.
- Can I use more than one accent in the same project?
- Yes. Generate each section with the voice you want and combine the audio in your editor. Each catalogue voice is a fixed speaker, so every section from that voice sounds the same.
- Is there an English accent that is not in the catalogue?
- Many. For Welsh, Midlands, Jamaican or any other English, describe the speaker in the studio, including the accent, age and tone, and compare a few takes; accents without a ready-made voice vary more between takes. Save the description you like to reuse it.
- How do I fix a mispronounced name or acronym?
- Change the spelling in your script. Write a name the way it sounds, and spell an acronym out letter by letter, like “A P I”, if it should not be read as a word.
- Can I try the English voices for free?
- Yes. You can listen to every English voice and try your own script for free.
