Open in studio →What it can do
- ✓Text-to-speech: natural Russian speech, a set of ready-made voices, control of emotion (joy, sadness, calm) and speed.
- ✓Music from a description: tracks with vocals and structure (verse, chorus) from lyrics.
- ✓Voice cloning: upload a sample of 10 to 30 seconds and get your own voice for voiceovers.
- ✓Voice design: creating a new voice from a text description.
How to write a prompt
For speech: paste the text with punctuation, pick a voice and an emotion. For music: describe the genre and mood and attach the song lyrics marked up with [Verse]/[Chorus]. For a clone: a clean voice sample without background music.
A prompt that works
Voiceover: "Today I will show how to build a video from a single photo.", male voice, calm, neutral emotion
Avoid this
“sing a song”
Neither the lyrics, nor the genre, nor the mood is set. Attach the lyrics and describe the style, otherwise the result is random.
Examples
Russian voiceover
Voice the text with a female voice and warm intonation, medium pace
Track with vocals
Pop ballad, female vocals, slow tempo. [Verse] … [Chorus] …
