magix hub - txt to speech

spuddy13 wrote on 2/26/2025, 6:20 PM

me again

as i perfect my video edit skills

i listen to my audience and do what i am told 😁

my last film had so many txt entries my brother in law had sore eyes reading them

so he suggested i do a voiceover

i tried but i dislike my voice in my latest film

i used the txt to speech and its good but i could not stick with the choices and settings i have

i picked ryan, chat, 11% and 5%

can anyone recomend a male voice they have used and the setting they used to see if i can get a workable voice

better than current choice

its a great bit of software but to many options to choose from

i wanted as near to english uk - male voice if possible

any help appreciated

Hi Brian

The choice of voice is, IMHO, a personal preference, you can test the various voices using the play icon that appears when you hover the mouse over the language icons after clicking the dropdown (yellow arrow) see image below.

For my last use I used Liam (Canada) with default settings, I found it better than the UK male voices.
