Understanding Voice Customization in MiniTTS
MiniTTS uses GPT-4o's advanced language understanding to interpret natural instructions about how you want your text to sound. Unlike traditional TTS systems that require specific technical parameters, you can simply describe the voice you want in plain language.
Basic Voice Instructions
To customize a voice, simply add your instructions in the "Voice customization" field. Here are some basic examples:
A deep male voice with a slight British accent
Professional female news anchor voice
Elderly man with a warm, grandfatherly tone
Customizing Accents and Dialects
GPT-4o can generate speech with a wide variety of accents and dialects. Simply specify the accent you want in your voice instructions.
Examples:
Australian accent, middle-aged woman
Southern American drawl, friendly male voice
Indian accent, professional and clear
Pro Tip
For more authentic accents, you can specify regional variations. For example, instead of just "British accent," try "Scottish Highland accent" or "London Cockney accent."
Adding Emotions and Mood
One of the most powerful aspects of MiniTTS is the ability to convey emotions in speech. You can specify the emotional tone to make your audio more engaging and appropriate for different contexts.
Emotional Style Examples:
Excited and enthusiastic female voice
Calm and reassuring male voice
Sad and reflective tone
Serious and authoritative news reader
Customizing for Content Types

Combining Multiple Characteristics
For more nuanced voices, combine multiple characteristics in your instructions:
"Middle-aged female with a slight French accent, speaking in a professional but warm tone, like a university professor who's passionate about her subject"
Character-Based Voice Design
You can create more memorable voices by referencing character archetypes:
"Voice like a wise old wizard character from fantasy films, speaking slowly and deliberately"
Best Practices for Voice Customization
- Be specific about the characteristics that matter most
- Test and iterate to refine the voice
- Consider your audience and content purpose
- For longer content, use consistent voice instructions
- Keep instructions concise but descriptive
