Part 1 What is the Most Realistic Sounding Text to Speech & How to Do It?
To start off, we’ve included this little second on need-to-know information regarding text-to-speech. Starting with:
01How did text to speech get popular?
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the text-to-speech function was developed to increase accessibility for those who have trouble reading on screen-text. Either as a result of visual impairment, are blindness. However, with its emergence came popular programs like Audible, which introduced even those without accessibility problems to its convenience for multi-tasking purposes.
02How to get the most realistic sounding text to speech?
There are several ways you can increase the natural sound of your text-to-speech:
● You can choose a tone that suits your taste.
● You can choose a voice gender that you are more comfortable with.
● And you can increase the speed of the text to reduce the awkward, and unnatural pauses that occur after each word.
In the end, though, the best way to get realistic speech is to find a tool that offers high-quality audio options. Which is what we’ll be introducing in the latter sections:
Part 2 How to Make Your Own Text to Speech Videos for YouTube
If you want to create your own anime text-to-speech for your YouTube videos (which is popular with a lot of YouTubers these days), the process is about the same no matter what text-to-speech option you end up choosing in the end. For our examples below, we will be using Natural Readers though, which is a FREE tool, making it a good choice for those who are just looking to try it out.
Step 1: Compose Your Text
The first step is to compose your text! You might prefer to do this on Google Docs or Word, but a lot of text-to-speech tools do offer you a way of composing your text along with them (like the online tool Natural Readers):
Step 2: Choose Voice / Reader
Next, it’s time to choose the reader that you want your text to be read by!

Step 3: Choose Reading Speed!

Most readers start off at 1X speed on average, but we personally recommend going for at least 1.25X - 1.5X for an instantly more natural-sounding text-to-speech anime characters.
Step 4: Choose Output Format
And finally, to finish us off, it’s time to choose what output format you want your text-to-speech audio to be! To keep this simple for uploading to YouTube, we recommend sticking with MP3, which most editors accept.
Part 3 How to Get More Voices for Text to Speech?
If you think that the available cartoon characters text-to-speech voices you have are not quite doing it for your project, then you can always explore alternative, third-party options! There are many of these available. Although, you’ll have to check with your text-to-speech reader or maker to make sure that it allows for such a feat:
01Method 1: Windows Text-to-Speech Voices

Next is the third-party resource, Screaming Bee , which offers a good variety of text-to-speech voices that you can try out as well!

The difference then lies in the fact that it is a one-time payment software that normally costs around $100. In this way, you can avoid long-term ongoing subscription plans.

Our topic for today’s article is on that exact same subject. Or, rather, more specifically, anime text-to-speech.
For those who want more than the usual robotic text-to-speech AI that you see in more professional software. Learn more about all this below, we’ve prepared an entire guide for you!
In this article
01 [What is the Most Realistic Sounding Text to Speech & How to Do It?](#Part 1)
02 [How to Make Your Own Text to Speech Videos for Youtube](#Part 2)
03 [How to Get More Voices for Text to Speech?](#Part 3)
04 [Top 5 Tips on Anime Text to Speech](#Part 4)
Part 1 What is the Most Realistic Sounding Text to Speech & How to Do It?
To start off, we’ve included this little second on need-to-know information regarding text-to-speech. Starting with:
01How did text to speech get popular?
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the text-to-speech function was developed to increase accessibility for those who have trouble reading on screen-text. Either as a result of visual impairment, are blindness. However, with its emergence came popular programs like Audible, which introduced even those without accessibility problems to its convenience for multi-tasking purposes.
02How to get the most realistic sounding text to speech?
There are several ways you can increase the natural sound of your text-to-speech:
● You can choose a tone that suits your taste.
● You can choose a voice gender that you are more comfortable with.
● And you can increase the speed of the text to reduce the awkward, and unnatural pauses that occur after each word.
In the end, though, the best way to get realistic speech is to find a tool that offers high-quality audio options. Which is what we’ll be introducing in the latter sections:
Part 2 How to Make Your Own Text to Speech Videos for YouTube
If you want to create your own anime text-to-speech for your YouTube videos (which is popular with a lot of YouTubers these days), the process is about the same no matter what text-to-speech option you end up choosing in the end. For our examples below, we will be using Natural Readers though, which is a FREE tool, making it a good choice for those who are just looking to try it out.
Step 1: Compose Your Text
The first step is to compose your text! You might prefer to do this on Google Docs or Word, but a lot of text-to-speech tools do offer you a way of composing your text along with them (like the online tool Natural Readers):
Step 2: Choose Voice / Reader
Next, it’s time to choose the reader that you want your text to be read by!
Usually, there are options for different types of accents and languages offered. So, if you want your text to speech to match that of your desired anime characters, you should play around with these options to get the right one.
Step 3: Choose Reading Speed!
Next, it’s time to choose your desired reading speed!
Most readers start off at 1X speed on average, but we personally recommend going for at least 1.25X - 1.5X for an instantly more natural-sounding text-to-speech anime characters.
Step 4: Choose Output Format
And finally, to finish us off, it’s time to choose what output format you want your text-to-speech audio to be! To keep this simple for uploading to YouTube, we recommend sticking with MP3, which most editors accept.
Part 3 How to Get More Voices for Text to Speech?
If you think that the available cartoon characters text-to-speech voices you have are not quite doing it for your project, then you can always explore alternative, third-party options! There are many of these available. Although, you’ll have to check with your text-to-speech reader or maker to make sure that it allows for such a feat:
01Method 1: Windows Text-to-Speech Voices
If you’re looking to change your computer’s text-to-speech voice, then the place to look for this is on ‘Control Panel > Speech’. There, not only can you choose from a variety of different voice options, but you can also change voice speed and voice pitch (how high or low the pitch is), which is a great way of getting a very specific kind of tone for your anime text-to-speech creations.
02Method 2: Third-Party Voices (Screaming Bee)
Next is the third-party resource, Screaming Bee , which offers a good variety of text-to-speech voices that you can try out as well! Using this method will, of course, require downloading and applying these voices for your chosen text-to-speech reader. For example, if you want to use the Windows reader, go to the Control Panel > Speech page for the option to apply it there.
03Method 3: Third-Party Voices (Cepstral Voices)
Another resource that you can check out is Cepstral Voices . Just like Screaming Bee, it offers a range of text-to-speech voices that you can try out to see which one suits your taste most. This includes text-to-speech cartoon characters and text-to-speech anime characters voices!
Part 4 Top 5 Tips on Anime Text to Speech
Now, onto some more anime text-to-speech options that you can try in order to make your text-to-speech script sound exactly like your favorite cartoon or anime characters! For this list, we’ve not only included a description of each reader but also why you might want to try it out:

Though a lot of people can consider a GIF as a short video, there are a few key differences between the two. The first one lies in the name extension. A GIF file is saved as .gif while a video can be saved into several formats like .mp4, .mov, and more.
A video contains visual information having good quality frames as well as sound while a GIF is a short animation that uses some specific information created from a sequence of frames. Moreover, a GIF does not have a sound and the size is also very small.
