FAQs
What makes a good narrator voice?
A good narrator voice keeps an even pace over a long read, fits the tone of the story and says names clearly. Play Marian, Lauren and Edna on this page, then try your own script in the text-to-speech box above.
Which AI voice works for a documentary?
Marian and Nandi read with the steady weight a documentary needs. Play both against your opening line before you choose.
Is the AI narrator voice generator free?
Yes. You can try every voice on this page without an account, up to 500 characters per preview. A free Cartesia account includes text-to-speech credits for longer scripts.
Can I narrate an audiobook with an AI voice?
Yes. Generate each chapter in the Playground and download the audio, or send the text through the text-to-speech API for a long book. Use the same voice for every chapter so the book keeps one narrator.
Can I change how fast the narrator reads?
Yes. The Playground and API have speed and emotion controls, so you can slow down for a dense passage. They guide the delivery rather than set it exactly, so listen back to the result.
Can I narrate in my own voice?
Yes. Voice cloning makes a voice from a short recording, which you can then use as your narrator.
Can I use an AI narrator voice in a commercial project?
Yes. Cartesia's paid plans include a commercial-use license. Check pricing and the terms of service for the terms that apply to your project.
