# Single Speaker Mode

Single Speaker Mode generates audio from a continuous script delivered by one voice. It is the most straightforward mode in Speech Generation — configure your voice, accent, and style, write your script, and generate.

***

#### When to Use It

Single Speaker Mode is best for any content where one voice delivers the entire audio without interruption or dialogue:

* Video and presentation voiceovers
* Podcast narration and solo episode scripts
* Product walkthrough and demo audio
* Marketing and promotional announcements
* Instructional and training content
* Audiobook-style narration

***

#### Step-by-Step Configuration

* **Step 1 — Select Single Speaker Mode** Open the Speech Generation workspace and select **Single Speaker** from the mode selector.
* **Step 2 — Choose a Voice** Browse the voice library and click any voice to preview it. Select the one that best fits your content and audience. See Voices, Accents & Style → for a full breakdown of voice categories and filtering options.
* **Step 3 — Set Language and Accent** Write your script in the language you want the audio generated in — the output language automatically matches your input text. If your language has multiple regional dialects, select the appropriate accent to improve pronunciation accuracy and naturalness.
* **Step 4 — Add Style Instructions** Enter a style instruction in the **Style Prompt** field to guide the tone and delivery of the voice. This is optional but recommended for content that requires a specific emotional register.

**Examples:**

```
Warm and conversational, like speaking to a friend.
```

```
Professional and authoritative — clear and measured delivery.
```

```
Energetic and enthusiastic, high-energy marketing tone.
```

**Step 5 — Write Your Script** Enter or paste your script into the script input field.

* Maximum length: **4,000 characters**
* Write in any language — audio is generated in that language automatically
* Use proper punctuation to control pacing and natural pauses
* Break long paragraphs into shorter sections for more natural delivery
* Add exclamation marks and question marks where tone emphasis is needed

{% hint style="info" %}
Well-punctuated scripts consistently produce more natural-sounding audio. Treat punctuation as pacing instructions — a comma creates a brief pause, a full stop creates a longer one, and an exclamation mark adds emphasis.
{% endhint %}

**Step 6 — Select a Model**

| Model         | Best For                                             |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Flash TTS** | Draft generation, script testing, quick iterations   |
| **Pro TTS**   | Final production output, client delivery, publishing |

{% hint style="info" %}
Use Flash TTS to validate your voice, accent, style, and script before committing to Pro TTS for the final generation. This saves credits without compromising final output quality.
{% endhint %}

**Step 7 — Generate** Click **Generate**. The audio output appears below the configuration area once processing is complete.

***

#### Reviewing and Using Your Output

Once generated, you can:

* **Play** the audio to review it
* **Download** the file to your device
* **Share** via a shareable link
* **Regenerate** by adjusting your script, style, or model if the output needs refinement

All generated audio is automatically saved to the **Audio History panel** and to **Dashboard → History** for future access. See Managing Generated Audio → for full details.

***

#### Resetting

The **Reset** option clears all current configuration — voice, accent, style instructions, script, and model selection. Use this when starting a completely new generation to avoid carrying over previous settings.
