We've made a big overhaul to the AI voiceover system.
More expressive & promptable voices
You can now prompt your voiceover lines using brackets to control tone, speed and pauses. For example:
"[fast] [excited] You better hurry, this deal won't last!"
"[Scared] That's sort of [pause] strange."
Voice quality is generally much improved in expressive mode as well, though the voices can have more variation. New projects will start out in Expressive mode by default, but you can easily switch voices back to Standard mode if you prefer the old system:
Tips:
- Voices must be set to expressive mode to use bracket prompts.
- Place brackets beforethe words you want them to affect:
("[laughs] That's funny!" --> Haha, that's funny. "That's funny [laughs]" --> "That's funny, haha"
Expanded language & accent support.
We've added thousands of new AI voices, cover a much wider variety of languages and regions, and made it easier to search for voices with particular regional accents.
Eleven Labs custom voices
You can now connect your Eleven Labs account (via API key) and create Kite videos with your own custom Eleven Labs voices. This was a much-requested feature—useful if you've cloned your own voice using Eleven Labs, or have custom voices you typically use with your brand.
You can connect your ElevenLabs account in the top right of the voice picker modal:
