At the end of the afternoon, the tram climbs slowly up the hill, and golden light settles on the rooftops of Alfama. In the distance, I can hear fado.

About Portuguese in Voxmint
Brazilian and European Portuguese share a written language but sound very different, so the catalogue keeps them apart. Beatriz speaks the confident, upbeat Portuguese of São Paulo, the voice of Brazilian advertising. Thiago is laid-back and conversational with a carioca accent from Rio, ideal for podcasts and social video. Inês reads European Portuguese from Lisbon with the elegance of an audiobook narrator, and Tomás is a calm, resonant general-purpose voice.
The accent comes from the voice; the wording comes from your script. Write the way your audience writes: “ônibus”, “celular” and “você” for Brazil; “autocarro”, “telemóvel” and the continuous “estou a fazer” for Portugal. Inês’s sample above uses that European construction, and it is part of what makes her sound like Lisbon rather than Rio.
Keep the accents and the tilde in your text. Words like “não”, “ação” and “português” depend on them for their nasal vowels, and a script without diacritics is harder to read correctly. Numbers, dates and currency are safest written as you want them spoken, such as “quinze de março” rather than 15/03, and amounts spelled out, like “vinte reais”, in a voice-over, because formats differ between the two countries.
Short sentences and commas give the most natural pacing. Brazilian Portuguese in particular sounds rushed when a long paragraph is a single sentence, so splitting it improves the read more than any setting. For casual content, spoken forms like “a gente” and “pra” sound more natural than their formal equivalents.
Casting is simple once you know your audience. For Brazil, Beatriz sells and Thiago chats; together they make a natural two-host format for podcasts and promos. For Portugal, Inês narrates and Tomás presents. If you need a voice from another region, such as the Nordeste, Minas Gerais or Porto, describe the speaker in the studio, including the city and the tone you want, and keep the take that sounds right to a local ear.

Questions
- Brazilian or European Portuguese: which should I use?
- Use the one your audience speaks. Brazil is by far the larger audience, but listeners in Portugal notice a Brazilian accent immediately, so choose Inês or design a Lisbon voice for them.
- Do I need to keep accents and the tilde?
- Yes. Diacritics tell the voice which vowels are nasal or open, so a correctly spelled script reads noticeably better.
- Can I create an accent from another region?
- Yes. Describe the speaker in the studio, for example a voice from Recife or Porto, and compare a few takes. Accents without a ready-made voice can vary more between takes.
- Can I clone a Portuguese voice?
- Yes. Upload or record a few seconds of clear speech in your own voice, or in a voice you have permission to use, and new lines will be spoken in that timbre. Adding the clip’s transcript gives the closest match.
- Does it handle informal Brazilian speech?
- Yes. Write the way people talk, with “a gente”, “pra” and “tá”, and the voices follow that casual register; Thiago’s sample above is written exactly that way.
- How do I make European Portuguese sound right?
- Use Portuguese spelling and grammar: “estou a fazer” rather than “estou fazendo”, and vocabulary like “pequeno-almoço”. The wording matters as much as the voice.
