Voice Delivery
Describe how a designed voice speaks: its pace, its emotion and a voice-acting style, such as Documentary Narrator. Nodaro adds it to Voice Design.
The Voice Delivery picker describes how a voice speaks: its pace, its emotion and its voice-acting style. You choose options such as Measured, Reassuring and Documentary Narrator, and Nodaro adds the description to the voice description of the Voice Design node you connect it to. The picker never calls a model, so it costs no credits.
When to use it
- Design a narrator for a documentary, an audiobook or a fairy tale.
- Give a character voice a clear attitude, such as Menacing, Sarcastic, Cheerful or Stoic.
- Match a format, such as a Podcaster, a Sportscaster, an Infomercial or an AI Assistant.
- Set the pace of speech, from Very Slow and Drawl to Rapid-fire and Frenetic.
How to use it
Add the picker
Open the node picker on the Audio tab and choose Creative Controls › Music & Voice › Voice Delivery.
Describe the delivery
Click the node and choose a Pace, an Emotion and an Archetype. Every part is optional.
Connect it
Drag from the picker's output to the Audio style input of a Voice Design node.
Run Voice Design
The description is added to the node's voice description when it runs.
Settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Pace | One speaking pace, such as Slow, Measured, Moderate, Punchy, Brisk or Rapid-fire. |
| Emotion | One emotional tone, such as Warm, Reassuring, Urgent, Excited, Wistful or Playful. |
| Archetype | One voice-acting style, such as Newscaster, Documentary Narrator, Audiobook Narrator, Radio DJ, Villain or Mentor. |
| Custom text (before) | Your own words, added before the description, for example pause, gather composure. |
| Custom text (after) | Your own words, added after the description, for example trail off. |
| Prompt hint | Full (default) adds the longer description. Compact adds only the short terms. See Full or Compact. |
A new node starts empty and adds nothing until you pick. The parts are built into one phrase in a fixed order: the pace and the archetype as a delivery style, then the emotion as a tone. Parts you leave empty are skipped.
To see the exact words the picker will add, switch the node to the Prompt or Both display mode. The settings panel shows the same text under Will inject into prompt.
Where the description goes
On Voice Design, the description is added to the voice description. The preview text that the voice speaks is never changed. Text to Audio makes sound effects, so it ignores voice pickers and shows a warning.
You can also connect the picker to a Text or Combine Text node to use the words in a longer text.
Every pace, emotion and archetype
Filter by part or search by name. The words under each name are the term the picker adds in Compact mode.

Tips
- Pair it with Voice Character. Voice Character sets the age, gender, language, accent and timbre. Voice Delivery adds the pace, the emotion and the style.
- Compare variations. Change one part, such as the emotion, run Voice Design again, and compare the previews.
- Hear the whole voice. The preview text of Voice Design must be 100 to 1,000 characters. Write enough to hear the voice across different sounds and sentences.
