Tips for Natural AI Narration
Follow these guidelines to get the most natural-sounding results from AI narration.
Write Conversationally
AI reads exactly what you write. Write like you speak for natural results.
Use Short Sentences
Break up long sentences. Shorter sentences = clearer delivery.
Add Pause Tags
Use [pause] with Studio+ tier for natural pacing.
Spell Out Numbers
Write "twenty-five" instead of "25" for more natural pronunciation.
Choose the Right Tier
Studio+ for emotional control. Economy for volume. Studio for premium quality.
