Voice Remix: Start from Any Voice, Make It Yours

You found a voice you like. But it's not quite right.

Maybe the narrator is perfect but you want them younger. The podcast host has the right energy but you need a British accent. The meditation guide is calming but you want it deeper.

Now you can fix that in one click.

Introducing Voice Remix

Every curated Pro voice now has a Remix button. Click it, and you jump to Max tier with the voice's design prompt pre-loaded โ€” ready to tweak.

The voice narrator_warm_male was created with:

"A warm, resonant male narrator in his late 40s with a deep baritone voice and measured, confident pacing"

Hit Remix, and that prompt appears in the Max editor. Change "late 40s" to "early 20s." Swap "baritone" for "tenor." Add "with a slight Irish accent." Generate.

You just designed a custom voice in 10 seconds, starting from something you already liked.

Start from a Voice

Don't know where to begin? The Max tier now has a "Start from a voice" dropdown โ€” 200+ curated voice prompts organized by category:

  • ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Podcast hosts
  • ๐Ÿ“– Narrators
  • ๐Ÿง˜ Meditation guides
  • ๐ŸŽฎ Gaming characters
  • ๐Ÿ‘ถ Kids content
  • ๐Ÿ“ฐ News anchors

There's even a ๐ŸŽฒ Surprise Me button that picks a random voice โ€” perfect for exploring.

How It Works

In the Voice Studio:

  1. Browse voices at leanvox.com/voices
  2. Find one you like โ†’ click ๐ŸŽต Remix
  3. Modify the prompt โ†’ Generate

Via API:

# Get curated voices with their design prompts
voices = client.voices.list(include_prompt=True)

# Start from a preset, modify it
prompt = voices[0].voice_instructions
custom = prompt.replace("measured pacing", "fast and energetic")

result = client.generate(
    text="Breaking news from the studio...",
    model="max",
    voice_instructions=custom
)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Why This Matters

Most TTS platforms give you a fixed catalog. Pick a voice, take it or leave it.

LeanVox gives you a starting point and a paintbrush. Every curated voice is a prompt you can remix into something new. The catalog isn't a ceiling โ€” it's a floor.
