What makes Standard British
sound like itself
Each feature below is something the prompt has to encode, or something a careless prompt will accidentally undo.
- Non-rhotic
- Post-vocalic /r/ is not pronounced: car is [kɑː], water is [ˈwɔːtə]. This is the single feature that most reliably separates a British read from an American one, and it is why asking for warmth with an American reference can pull the accent back across the Atlantic mid-sentence.
- TRAP–BATH split
- bath, dance, chance and after take the long /ɑː/ rather than the /æ/ of General American. Scripts heavy in these words expose the accent quickly, which makes them useful for auditioning a candidate.
- No father–bother merger
- LOT stays a rounded short /ɒ/, distinct from PALM. American English merges these; the distinction is a strong tell in words like not, top and body.
Or design a
standard british voice
The library is a starting point, not a limit. Describe the voice you want and Voice Design generates it.
A British male voice, 40 to 55, for conversational: calm and crisp, with mid-low pitch, steady natural pacing, medium energy and warm rounded resonance. Ideal for reassuring walkthroughs, empathic de-escalation and complex IT support.
