Voice cloning & design
Make your own voices in the Voice Studio — clone one from a short recording, or design one from a sentence — then assign it to any character.
The Voice Studio is where you create custom voices and keep them in one place. There are two ways in: clone a voice from a short audio sample, or design a voice from a written description. Either way you end up with the same thing — a reusable voice in your My voices library that you can assign to any character.
Clone vs. design — pick by what you have. Got a recording? Clone it. Don't have one, but you can describe the voice you want? Design it. Same result: a custom voice that's yours.
Opening the Voice Studio
The Voice Studio lives in a character's voice settings. Open Advanced Settings → Voice Studio and tap Open Voice Studio (the wand icon). It also opens from the voice controls in a group chat.
Inside, you'll see your voice-clone credit balance, the two create actions — Clone a voice and Design a voice — and your My voices library.
Cloning from a sample
Cloning reproduces a real voice from a short recording.
- Open the Voice Studio and tap Clone a voice.
- Give it a name.
- Pick a provider — MiMo (free for a limited time) or MiniMax (1 voice-clone credit).
- Provide a voice sample: tap Record to capture one with your mic, or Upload an audio file. Aim for 10–30 seconds of clear speech (the minimum we accept is 5 seconds).
- Tap Create clone.
The sample is checked before it's accepted — recordings shorter than 5 seconds, or ones where we can't detect clear speech, are rejected with a prompt to try again. If your microphone is blocked, upload a file instead.
Record clean audio. One speaker, no background music or noise, a normal speaking pace. The clone is only ever as good as the sample.
Designing from a description
Designing invents a voice from a written prompt — no recording needed.
- Open the Voice Studio and tap Design a voice.
- Give it a name.
- Write a voice description, for example: "A warm, gentle young woman with a slight British accent."
- Tap Create voice.
Voice design runs on MiMo and is free for a limited time.
How creation works
When you submit, the voice starts in a Processing state and flips to Ready on its own once it's prepared — the My voices list updates automatically, so you don't need to refresh. A short preview clip is generated for each finished voice; tap the play button on any Ready voice to hear it. If something goes wrong, the voice shows Failed and you can delete it and try again.
| Provider | Clone | Design | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| MiMo | Yes | Yes | Free for a limited time. Cloning is zero-shot — no training wait. |
| MiniMax | Yes | No | Premium; cloning costs 1 voice-clone credit. Emotion-aware synthesis. |
Where you can use a custom voice
A finished voice behaves like any other voice in Reverie. Assign it to a character from the voice picker, and it's used whenever that character reads a message aloud, in voice mode and voice calls just the same.
A voice you make once can be assigned to any character — one you created or one you're chatting with — and you can preview, rename, and delete your voices from the My voices library at any time.
Assigning a clone to a character others use. If you set a cloned voice as a character's default, everyone who chats with that character will hear it by default. They can switch to another voice, but they can't add yours to their own library. Reverie asks you to confirm before sharing a voice this way.
Credits & limits
- Voice samples should be 10–30 seconds of clear speech; 5 seconds is the hard minimum.
- MiMo clone and design are free for a limited time. MiniMax cloning costs 1 voice-clone credit per voice.
- Voice-clone credits are separate from your regular chat credits. Annual plans include a few each renewal (Pro 1, Premium 2, Ultimate 3), or you can buy a single clone as a one-time purchase. Your balance and breakdown show at the top of the Voice Studio.
- Creating a voice is the action that spends a credit. Playing a voice afterward is billed as normal TTS — see Voice calls → Pricing.
Consent
Cloning a real voice means confirming you have the right to use it. Before you create a clone, Reverie asks you to confirm that you have permission for the voice in your sample. Clone voices you own or have explicit consent to use — not real people without their say-so.
Tips
- No recording? Design instead. A single descriptive sentence is often enough to land a voice that fits, and it's free right now.
- Clone on MiMo first. It's free for a limited time and there's no training wait, so it's the cheapest way to experiment before spending a MiniMax credit.
- Preview before you assign. Every Ready voice has a play button — listen first, then attach it to a character.
- Keep your library tidy. Rename voices something you'll recognise and delete the ones that didn't land. Failed attempts can be removed and retried.
