About this voice
A note that says hooks
The second sample is a hook, the line her note names, so judge her delivery there first. Keep the hook to one sentence and put the number or the offer early so the first caption lands on it.
Our note puts her on hooks, alongside Sienna, whose note says brighter than Maya. Two voices for the same job give you a choice of color; play both on your script.
Length the engine likes. The published guidance puts the sweet spot at roughly 100 to 200 tokens, a few sentences per line.

FAQ
Questions about Aria
Aria or Sienna for a TikTok hook?
Both are noted for hooks, so the choice comes down to the color you want. Play the second sample of each on your own script.
What speed should a hook use?
Start at 1.0 and keep the hook to one sentence. A shorter line hits harder than a faster slider.
Will the captions keep up with a fast hook?
Yes. English voices report every word's timing during synthesis, so the SRT cues land on the spoken word even at speed.
Can I post an Aria voiceover commercially?
Yes. Standard voice output is licensed for commercial use on every plan, without a watermark or credit line.
