The SundaySky platform enables you to use either a human (recorded) voice or an automated (text-to-speech) voice for your video.
While a recorded voice can provide a human touch, an automated voice has its own benefits, among them:
- The voice-over creation process is immediate.
- You are not dependent on any external resources. There is no need to find a suitable voice talent, coordinate recording sessions, review the recording, or have multiple iterations.
- Using an automated voice is completely free of charge.
- If you do need to make an edit, it can be done very quickly.
| Notes: | |
| 1. | By default, every new video is initiated with automated voice according to its type. For Owned Media videos, Sofia - Narrator is selected. For Paid Media videos, Sofia - Promotional is selected. |
| 2. | Before publishing your video, you'll need to choose the voice you want for the video. |
To add an automated voice:
| 1. |
Access the relevant video. |
| 2. |
Review all the scenes in the video and make sure that you are happy with the voice-over written for each scene. |
| 3. |
Select Voiceover in the sidebar. |
| 4. |
Browse through the collection of voices. |
| 5. |
As you browse, you can click the play button by the voice name to listen to a short sample. |
| 6. |
When you decide on the voice that you want to use, select the name and then click Done at the bottom of the page. |
If you have decided to use a recorded voice, you'll need to toggle the switch to Use recorded voice and then contact your SundaySky Project Manager to initiate the process.
