Do this step by step

Gather a few one- to three-minute, high-quality audio recordings of your voice. You’ll upload these MP3, MP4, or WAV files to Brianshark to create a custom voice.

Create a custom voice

1. Navigate to the Content tab and select My Content.
2. Click Media Library on the top right.
3. Click the Custom Voices tab.
4. Click Create Custom Voice.
5. Enter a Name for the voice and optionally a Description.
6. In the Sharing section, choose whether to keep your voice Private or Shared so all authors can use it.

7. Drag and drop or click Browse to upload one or more voice samples. Max file size 10MB and no more than 25 files.

   Tip: For best results, use short samples of a single voice totaling one to three minutes. The AI mimics your tone, pacing, and background noise, so provide a clean, expressive sample.

8. Confirm your rights and consents to clone the voice.
9. Click Create.
10. To hear how your custom voice will sound, on the voice card, click Preview. Click Stop when done.
11. To adjust, edit, or delete the voice, click the three dot menu on the voice card and select your desired option.
    • Edit voice: Update the name, description, sharing setting, and voice samples. Click Save.
    • Voice settings: Use the sliders to adjust the stability, similarity, and speed of the voice. Click Preview to test your settings and Save when done.
    • Delete: Permanently delete the voice by clicking Delete on the pop-up to confirm.
