Design a Voice from Words
No sample, no actor. Write a description — “warm female narrator, mid-40s, unhurried, slightly husky” — and LeapFun generates a new voice that is yours to keep. Your first design is covered by the free tier.

How it works
- Describe the voiceAge, gender, accent, tone, pace and mood in plain language. Choose the preview language (44 available) so you can judge the result in the language you publish in.
- Generate and auditionLeapFun synthesises a candidate voice from your description. Listen, refine the description, generate again.
- Save to My VoicesA designed voice costs a flat 2,500 credits and is saved permanently. Use it in text to speech and Audiobook Studio like any other voice.
Why design a voice instead of picking one
- A new voice, saved to your account
Preset libraries are shared. A designed voice is generated from your description and saved to My Voices — built around your brief rather than picked from a list. Synthetic voices are not guaranteed to be unique.
- Actually free to try
Voice Design costs 2,500 credits per created voice. Sign-up gives you 3,000, so your first design fits inside the free tier — and the voice stays in your account.
- Same pipeline as everything else
Designed voices generate through the same streaming and loudness-mastering path as preset voices, and drop into Studio projects as narrators or characters. They generate on Leap Ultra, so every take can be directed with emotion tags and a director's note like any Ultra voice.
What you can control
- Age child · young adult · middle-aged · older
- Gender female · male · androgynous
- Accent e.g. American, British, Mandarin, regional
- Tone warm, crisp, husky, bright, authoritative
- Pace & energy unhurried to fast, calm to animated
- Mood friendly, serious, playful, intimate

Frequently asked questions
Is voice design free?
Your first voice is. Each designed voice costs a flat 2,500 credits and sign-up includes 3,000, so one design fits inside the free tier. Generating speech with the voice then uses credits at the Leap Ultra rate (1.5 credits per UTF-8 byte).
Do I own the designed voice?
It is saved to your account under My Voices and stays there for you to use. Commercial use of audio generated with it follows your plan: personal and evaluation on Free, commercial rights from Starter.
Can I edit a voice after generating it?
You can't tweak a saved voice in place, but you can refine the description and generate a new candidate until you're happy, then save that one.
Can I design a voice that sounds like a real person?
No. Voice Design is for original voices from a description. To reproduce a specific real voice you must use Voice Cloning with that person's consent.
Which languages does a designed voice speak?
A designed voice is multilingual: it generates on Leap Ultra and reads 130+ languages, detected from your script. The preview you hear while designing can be requested in 44 languages. Describe the accent you want, and steer each take with a director's note.
