Method

How every voice is tested

No paid placements. The same process for every voice, including mine.

01

Same script

Every voice reads the same passages for each use case, so you’re comparing voices, not copy.

02

Same settings

Default model and settings unless noted, so what you hear is what you’ll get on day one.

03

Long-form check

A short demo can hide fatigue. Each pick is also run through a few minutes of narration.
