86 Voices. Hear Every One.

That's the whole casting pool. Every voice on this page plays right here, without an account, and every one is a voice the Voice Director can actually assign to a character in your book. They all read the same line, so you're comparing voices and not sentences.

Who's in your book?

The narrator

Showing 12 of 82

Every voice here can narrate except the four in the children's pool. The 46 rated for reading a book front to back come first.

The line under each name is how that voice reads on its own. Most of them reach further than that, which is why these lists run longer than the labels.

Narrow the read
It's quieter here than I expected. Have you been waiting long? I brought what you asked for — though I still don't understand why you needed it tonight. Every voice reads that line. Same words, same length, so what changes is the voice.

Narrator: The tavern fell silent as the stranger pushed through the door.
Elena: "You shouldn't be here. Not tonight."
Marcus: "I go where I please. And right now, I need answers."
Elena: "Answers cost something in this town."
Old Thomas: "Let him stay." The old man's voice carried from the corner. "I've been waiting for someone brave enough to ask."

Who the library covers

The rail counts who a voice can play. This counts how a voice reads on its own.

Where it's thin: eight voices read as mature or elder, and only one of those is a woman. Eighty of the 86 are American English, with four British RP readers and two transatlantic. All seven textured voices are men. We'd rather you know that now than after you upload.

These 86 are what's left. We listened to and scored 99 voice profiles, quarantined 11 that failed, and retired 23 more out of the pool. If you can hear it here, we can cast it.

Now hear them read your book.

Upload a chapter and the Voice Director reads your characters, then casts voices from this same pool. Your first chapter is free.
