Any generated content can continue to be used without impact. If you need to edit or regenerate videos, we'll automatically update them with the most suitable replacement voice. However, you can also manually select a different voice if you prefer. If you wish to select a different voice than the recommended one, please follow the steps below:
How to Replace a Voice Manually:
To manually select a different voice, follow these steps:
Open your existing project containing the voice you want to change.
Navigate to the Script Box.
Select the Avatar Icon: Click on the avatar icon next to the script box.
Choose a New Voice: Browse the available voices and select your preferred option.
Update the Scene: The scene will automatically update with your chosen voice.
Change Voice for All Scenes: 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 personalised 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 could provide a greater opportunity to enhance your content even further and add personalisation using your own likeness and voice.
