## Overview

Voice choice changes trust and completion rates, so cloning is most useful when your team wants recognizable tone across launches.

## How it works

- Clean source audio is uploaded and processed into a reusable profile, which then appears anywhere voice can be selected in pathways and launchers.
- Preview clips let you verify cadence and clarity before production assignment, reducing rework across active campaigns.

## Use cases

- Founder-style outbound tone
- Location-specific receptionist voices

## Tips

- Good to know: cleaner recordings produce more stable pronunciation and fewer artifacts than long clips with room noise.

## Audio Sample

The sample stage exists to capture vocal identity accurately before the model is trained.

Run a send-call smoke test and compare intelligibility against your default voice.

- You record or upload clear speech, name the profile, and submit it for processing so the generated clone can be reused in production surfaces.
- A short preview confirms quality before assignment, which prevents mismatched tone from reaching live recipients.
- **Record vs Upload:** In-browser recording or file upload.
- **Voice name:** Label shown when picking the clone on pathways and launches.
- Good to know: stable microphone distance and low background noise improve identity match more than longer clip duration.
- Brand-matched receptionist voice
- Founder voice for outbound campaigns

## Next step

Assign the approved clone to a low-risk test pathway and validate with a real call.
