Italian AI voiceover

The Italian voices, with samples

Each sample reads the same line so you can compare them fairly.

From brief to Italian script without translating

Nothing you write gets translated. The director takes the facts in your brief, the shop, the offer, the closing line, and composes fresh Italian around them, both the narration and the text on screen. That distinction matters for tone: Italian marketing copy structured like English marketing copy reads stilted, and generation avoids the trap by writing natively. The it-IT locale is fixed once Italian is chosen, because premium voice names embed their locale. If you want a specific regional feel in wording, Roman or Milanese phrasing, put examples in the brief; accent, however, is standard Italian across all eight voices.

The cast sheet

Think of the eight voices as four duos. Puck and Laomedeia bring the fast bright read that suits aperitivo bars and product drops. Charon and Erinome speak like patient instructors, and tutorials are hard-wired to them; requesting an energetic tutorial voice simply gets overridden. Umbriel and Sulafat lean intimate, right for a trattoria's anniversary video or a client testimonial. Iapetus and Aoede stay level for corporate work. The director picks one duo and one gender for the video; you re-cast any scene later from its voice dialog, which also searches the full Google catalogue.

Vowels take time, and the timeline bends

Spoken Italian carries more syllables per idea than English, so scenes hosting Italian narration run longer, and the engine stretches each scene to fit its clip instead of clipping the voice. Under the dynamic pace a long line can flow past its scene's cut and finish over the next one, which sounds continuous rather than rushed. Manual levers per scene: a delay in seconds before the voice starts, speed steps from 0.85x up to 1.25x, and the text itself. The soundtrack requires no attention, dropping to 22 percent beneath every spoken stretch and rising back between them.

What the voice does with what you type

The read is literal. Ventinove euro is spoken as intended; 29 € makes the engine choose for you. Double consonants, the difference between pala and palla, are native ground for these voices, but non-Italian names need respelling by ear since no phonetic field exists, and an English brand often wants an extra vowel to sit right in an Italian mouth. Sentence punctuation cuts the caption cues and shapes intonation, an ellipsis buys a pause, and the em dash never appears in generated narration by rule, so avoid introducing one when editing lines yourself.

Captions in this script

Italian needs nothing beyond the accented vowels à, è, é, ì, ò and ù, all present in every catalogue font, so caption glyphs are safe in any look you pick. The word being spoken glows inside the dark pill while the remainder of the sentence waits dimmed, with timing lifted from the finished clip. Italian's musical phrasing tends toward long sentences, and the pill splits anything past 48 characters into a following cue; if a scene's caption flickers between cues too quickly, the narration line is the thing to shorten.
