Delaney, a soft-spoken, husky American English voice
Delaney is graded B- on the published list, with target quality B and 10 to 100 hours of training audio. Our notes call her delivery softer than the other American voices, low and throaty. She is the second voice in twenty of the thirty-five recipes we kept: our taste, not popularity.

On the record
A B- and a note that says soft, low, throaty
The list places her in the largest training band with a B target quality, the same footprint as Sienna and Imogen, and why she grades B- where most American voices grade C or D.
Our notes are about texture: a softer, lower delivery with a throaty edge. We kept blends with her under English, Japanese, Mandarin, and French primaries.
Length the engine likes. The published guidance puts the sweet spot at roughly 100 to 200 tokens, a few sentences; very short lines are the weak spot and very long ones can rush.

FAQ
Questions about Delaney
What does Delaney's B- grade measure?
The published list grades training audio: B target quality and a 10 to 100 hour band in her case. It does not grade timbre, which is what our notes describe.
Why is Delaney in so many of your recipes?
Because we liked what her texture did under other voices. That is our preference, not demand.
Does adding Delaney to a Mandarin voice change the accent?
No. The Mandarin primary decides every syllable; Delaney lends only timbre. Magnetic Mandarin is Meilin with Delaney at an even split.
Can I save a Delaney blend for later?
Yes. Save up to eight blends in this browser from the generator's advanced settings.
