## Creating a voiceover

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Voice Generator">
    Log in to [app.mynexusai.com](https://app.mynexusai.com) and select **AI Voice Generator** from your dashboard. This tool requires a **Premium or Ultimate** plan.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your text">
    Paste or type the text you want to convert to speech. You can enter a short sentence or a full script — the generator handles both.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a voice">
    Browse the available voices and choose one that suits your project. Filter by **gender**, **accent** (e.g. American English, British English, Australian English), and **tone** (e.g. professional, warm, energetic).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set language and speaking speed">
    Choose your target **language** from the dropdown, then adjust the **speaking speed** — slow it down for clarity in instructional content, or increase the pace for fast-paced promotional material.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate and preview">
    Click **Generate** to produce your audio. Use the built-in player to preview the result before downloading.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Download your audio file">
    Once you are satisfied with the output, click **Download** to save your audio file in high-quality format, ready to use in your project.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Tips for natural-sounding output

<Accordion title="Use proper punctuation">
  The AI reads punctuation as pacing cues. Commas create brief pauses, full stops signal the end of a thought, and question marks adjust intonation accordingly. Missing punctuation leads to flat, run-on delivery — so treat your script as you would a written document.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Break long text into shorter segments">
  For lengthy scripts, split your content into logical paragraphs or sections and generate each one separately. This gives you more control over pacing and lets you re-generate individual sections without redoing the entire piece.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Avoid abbreviations and symbols">
  Spell out abbreviations (write *"Doctor"* instead of *"Dr"*) and numbers in full (write *"twenty-five"* instead of *"25"*) unless you want the AI to read the literal characters. Symbols like *&* or *%* may be read inconsistently depending on context.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Use emphasis strategically">
  Where your voice library supports SSML or emphasis tags, use them sparingly to stress key words. Overusing emphasis reduces its impact and can make the audio sound unnatural.
</Accordion>

<Note>
  AI Text-to-Speech requires a **Premium** ($25/mo) or **Ultimate** ($50/mo) plan. It is not available on the Free plan. [View pricing](https://app.mynexusai.com) to upgrade.
</Note>

<Tip>
  Need a unique, branded voice rather than a preset? Use **AI Voice Clone** (Ultimate plan) to create a custom voice model from an audio sample, then use it directly within Text-to-Speech.
