#how to set up accent for French?
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
To set up an accent for French, you need to use a voice that has been trained in French. The AI does not allow for selecting a specific language via a tag or marker. Instead, you write in the language you want the AI to speak. If you are using a voice that is not native to the language - for example, one of the pre-made voices since they are in English - the AI might have a slight English accent when speaking other languages.
To get the optimal results, it is recommended to clone a voice that speaks the original language with the correct accent. This is especially important when dealing with languages that are very similar and share a lot of common words. This ensures that the AI has the most information to understand which pronunciation and language it should choose.
For French, you can use the following voices from the Voice Library:
- Adam (Male, Deep, Narration, Canadian French)
- Antoni (Male, Well-rounded, Narration, Canadian French)
- Arnold (Male, Crisp, Narration, Canadian French)
- Bill (Male, Strong, documentary, Canadian French)
- George (Male, Raspy, Narration, Canadian French)
- Charlotte (Female, Seductive, Video games, Canadian French)
- Domi (Female, Strong, Narration, Canadian French)
- Dorothy (Female, Pleasant, Children’s stories, Canadian French)
- Serena (Female, Pleasant, Interactive, Canadian French)
- Sarah (Female, Soft, News, Canadian French)
Remember, the language is determined by the text, the accent and pronunciation is determined by the voice itself. It needs both of these contexts to function optimally.
