Any previously generated content will remain unaffected and can continue to be used without issue. If you need to edit or regenerate videos, we will automatically update them with the most suitable replacement voice. However, you can also manually select a different voice if you prefer. To choose a voice other than the recommended one, please follow the steps below.
How to Manually Replace a Voice:
Open your existing project containing the voice you want to change.
Navigate to the Script Box.
Click on the Avatar icon next to the script box.
Browse the available voices and select your preferred option.
The scene will automatically update with your chosen voice.
To apply the new voice across all scenes, select the Change all option when prompted.
💡 Did you know you also have the possibility of creating your own Personal Avatar? 💡
While some voices are being phased out, Synthesia offers a fantastic opportunity for you to create a personalized experience by developing your own Personal Avatar that both looks and sounds like you, a colleague or perhaps a senior stakeholder in your business. This can help enhance your content even further by adding a personal touch with your own likeness and voice.
