How to choose a male or female AI voice for text-to-speech

Sometimes the brief is simple: the project needs a male voice, or specifically a female voice, and everything else — language, quality tier — is secondary to getting that right first.

Filter by gender directly

The voice picker in the editor has a gender filter alongside language and quality tier, so you can narrow straight to every male or female voice in a given language instead of scrolling the full catalog. Combine it with the language filter to go straight to, say, every female Hindi voice or every male Standard-tier voice in English (India).

Sample before you commit

Every voice — regardless of gender, language, or tier — has a free sample you can play before signing in, and a free unlimited Draft using a device voice once you're in the editor. There's no cost to comparing two or three candidates side by side before picking one.

Consistency matters more than the individual voice

Once you've picked a voice for a project — a channel, a course, a recurring format — keep using that same voice across every piece of content in it. A listener notices a "narrator" changing gender or tone between episodes far more than they notice which specific voice was chosen in the first place.
