Create an AI voice

Last updated: April 17, 2026

This article covers every method for creating a custom voice on Wondercraft. Use a custom voice when the library doesn't have the exact sound you need.

Overview of creation methods

Wondercraft gives you five ways to create a voice. Each lives in a different part of the editor, depending on whether you're starting from scratch or building on an existing voice.

Method	What it does	Where to find it
Clone	Replicates a real person's voice from an audio sample (90% accuracy)	Voice tab > Add your own voice > Clone
Import PVC	Imports a Professional Voice Clone created outside Wondercraft (99% accuracy in terms of emotion, tone, pace, accent, etc; needs ~40 minutes of clean audio)	Voice tab > Add your own voice > Import PVC
Design/Prompt	Builds a voice from scratch using written instructions	Voice tab > Add your own voice > Design Select an audio clip > Create new > Prompt
Speak like	Transfers the delivery style of one voice onto another	Select an audio clip > Create new > Speak like

Clone a voice

Open the Voice tab in the left panel.
Click Add your own voice at the top of the voice list.
Select Clone.
Upload an audio file or record yourself directly. Audio samples can be up to 5 minutes long and 50 MB. See below for audio recording best practices.
Follow the prompts to name your voice and confirm.

You can find voice clones under the Voice tab.

Import a Professional Voice Clone (PVC)

If you want a high quality voice clone that captures your tone, emotion, pace and accent perfectly, you should consider getting a Professional Voice Clone (PVC).

See 📄 Create a Professional Voice Clone (PVC) for details.

Open the Voice tab in the left panel.
Click Add your own voice.
Select Import PVC.
Follow the prompts to upload or connect your PVC file.

Generate an AI voice by prompting

You can create an AI voice in the style, tone, accent and pace you want from scratch.

Open the Voice tab in the left panel.
Click Add your own voice.
Select Design.
Describe the voice you want: accent, gender, age range, tone, pace, and personality traits. For example: "A warm British female voice in her 40s, calm and authoritative, with a measured pace."
Preview the generated voice and iterate on your description if needed.
Save the voice to your library.

Create a variation of an AI voice (different accent, tone etc)

Speak like copies the intonation, pace, and accent of one voice and applies it to another. Use it when you want Voice A to deliver content the way Voice B sounds - transferring a specific delivery style or accent to a different base voice.

Select a speech clip on the timeline.
Under the Voice section, click Create new.
Select Speak like.
Choose a reference voice whose style you want to transfer.
Preview the result and save.

Voice creation best practices

Do this when recording the audio sample for your AI voice clone

For the AI to capture your voice accurately, follow the best practices when recording your audio clip used on Wondercraft.

Pace	Speak at the pace you want the AI to mimic, and keep it consistently fast/slow throughout the audio clip.
Tone	You need to be extremely expressive. When the AI clones your voice, it dampens the expressivity. So you need to overdo it so that after the cloning process, it is at a good level. So try to cover all the spectrum between enthusiastic and sad and please over do it, to a funny level.
Quality	Clear, no noise of any kind. Use the best microphone you have to minimize any audio interference.
Length	Aim for 30 seconds of audio
File Type	MP3, M4A, WAV, AAC, FLAC
File Size	No more than 10MB
Volume	Try to record loudly. Aim for 18db so that it is equalised with Wondercraft voices.
Script language	Read a script in the language that your clone will be speaking. If your clone will be speaking French, record the audio clip in French.
