Round 1. Six candidate voices, same script. This is about picking a tone/direction, not the final render — we upgrade the winner to a studio voice later. Play them back-to-back and pick the feel that fits Cassie: warm, intelligent, a little wry.
You supplied a reference voice to clone — the ElevenLabs “The Sunshine Influencer” preview (bright, bubbly, uplifting young-adult female). These are zero-shot clones of that reference, made on fal (pay-per-use) so we can skip the $22/mo ElevenLabs subscription. First is the original reference so you can A/B; below are three clone takes saying Cassie’s script. Pick the closest — or tell me if it’s not close enough and we’ll stand up ElevenLabs for a studio-exact match.
🌟 CEO reference (target) — the voice we’re matching (ElevenLabs preview)
Clone 1 — F5-TTS — best identity match, most natural prosody
Clone 2 — Chatterbox (bright) — more expressive/energetic, higher exaggeration
Clone 3 — Chatterbox (natural) — steadier, less exaggerated read
Earlier rounds below (for reference)
You liked D — Bright & Energetic (Exuberant_Girl) for its cute, playful, energetic feel — but it reads a little English/British. Here are five fresh voices with the same cute/playful/energetic spirit but a normal American read. Same script, same pace (speed 0.85) so it's an apples-to-apples accent comparison. Pick the one that sounds most like Cassie: cute, playful, and clearly American.
US-1 Lively_Girl — bright & playful, young
US-2 Sweet_Girl — cute & sweet, upbeat
US-3 Playful_Girl — playful & fun
US-4 Lovely_Girl — bubbly & endearing
US-5 Friendly_Person — warm & playful, neutral American
Round 1 below (for reference)
You picked D — Bright & Energetic but wanted it a touch slower. Here's the original alongside two gently slowed versions — pick the pace that feels right. (Same voice, same script; only speed changes.)
Original — normal speed (1.0)
Slightly slower — speed 0.9
A bit more relaxed — speed 0.85
All six original candidates (for reference)
Approachable and personable, like a friend catching you up.
Composed newscaster poise; credible and clear.
Unhurried and reassuring; easy to listen to.
Upbeat and lively; high-energy welcome. (CEO's pick — see pacing A/B at top.)
Casual young-professional; natural and easygoing.
Grounded and self-assured; a touch wry and sharp.
fal-ai/minimax/speech-02-hd (text-to-speech). Placeholder voices for direction only — the locked voice will be re-rendered on a studio engine (ElevenLabs) once you pick a direction.
