Edmund, a low British English male voice for documentary voiceover
Edmund is graded C on the published voice list, with a B target quality and 10 to 100 minutes of training audio, level with Rory at the top of the British males. Our note calls him a low British male that works for documentary voiceover. He is one part of Margaret, our house blend.

On the record
A C grade and a note that says low
The published list gives him a C from B-quality audio measured in minutes. It grades data, not depth; the word low comes from our listening note, not from the record.
Our note points him at documentary voiceover, and we used him as one part against two of Imogen in Margaret. Grant's and Imogen's pages both suggest him as a pairing for a lower floor.
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 Edmund
Is Edmund the deepest voice on the site?
Our notes describe two voices as low, Edmund and Delaney, and nothing else on the site measures depth; the published list grades training data only.
How is Edmund different from Margaret?
Margaret is a fixed house blend, two parts Imogen to one part Edmund. Edmund alone is the C-graded male; Margaret takes most of its timbre from Imogen.
Does blending Edmund under an American voice change the accent?
No. The primary sets pronunciation; Edmund only lends his timbre, so Grant with Edmund stays American.
Can I use Edmund in a documentary I sell?
Yes. Standard voice output carries commercial rights on every plan, without attribution or a watermark.
