How to Create a Professional AI Voice from Text | How to AI #5

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Access Gemini AI

1. Go to Google's Gemini Platform

Step 2: Define Your Voice Persona Goal

1. Clearly identify the kind of voice you need (e.g., professional, enthusiastic, deep, sharp).
2. The goal is to generate a detailed "Voice Persona" that will act as a high-quality prompt for an AI audio generation tool.
3. Although Gemini will do it itself, but if you want a better prompt, specify in detail each elements of a voice:
   • Voice
   • Tone
   • Character
   • Feature

Step 3: Generate the Voice Prompt with Gemini

1. Based on the persona defiled, paste the following prompt into Gemini.
2. You can adjust the persona details (tone, features) as needed.
3. This is the prompt that we used:

   Create a voice persona for an audio generation tool. The person should have the following elements: the type of voice, the tone of it, the delivery, the dialect, the features. I want the voice of a very enthusiastic broadcaster who is very, very happy introducing someone on the panel. and I want it to be an American accent and this is needed for an intro to a YouTube video. Give the response in plain text.

Step 4: Generate the AI Voiceover

1. Copy the detailed "Voice Persona" that Gemini generates.
2. Go to OpenAI's OpenAI FM, a free AI audio generation tool by OpenAI.
3. In the AI audio tool, paste the Gemini-generated persona prompt and then paste your script content. We used the following script in the video:

   Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the monthly, State of AI video, by This Week in AI.

4. Generate the audio and review the results.

Troubleshooting

Issue #1: The generated voice sounds robotic or lacks the required emotion (e.g., enthusiasm).
Solution: Return to Gemini and refine your original prompt. Add more specific, emotive adjectives for the tone, such as "high energy," "dramatic pacing," or "powerful projection," to force a more dynamic response.

Issue #2: The AI audio tool mentioned in the video (OpenAI FM) cannot be found.
Solution: Search for alternative, popular AI voice generation tools like ElevenLabs, Microsoft Azure Text-to-Speech, or others, and follow a similar process of applying the detailed voice persona prompt.
