Reference voice, expression and audio output
Use Smalto Voice in a browser to generate narration and dialogue. Reference recordings, emotion settings and listening checks each serve a different part of the process.
Reference audio for the voice
Upload a WAV or MP3 recording to guide the voice. Clear speech from one speaker makes it easier to judge the result. Avoid overlapping voices, prominent background music and obvious distortion.
Use a recording you own or have permission to use. File size limits follow the workspace's current upload instructions. See the reference audio guide.
Emotion and speaking speed
Choose emotion and adjust its intensity alongside speaking speed. Begin with a steady narration setting, then adjust expression for the passage. Review character dialogue and narration separately where their delivery differs.
Playback and WAV export
Listen to the complete generated audio before downloading it. Check pronunciation, pauses and pacing, then export WAV audio for further editing. Short passages help compare revisions before working on longer sections.
Narration and dialogue workflows
Story narration needs a clear, consistent delivery. Short-drama dialogue may need different voices or expressions for separate characters. Prepare each passage and its reference audio, then compare the result with the scene.
The getting started guide covers preparation, generation, playback and export. This page describes the voiceover workflow; the workspace uses its current interface labels.
