About this voice
A low voice for documentary work
The word low comes from our listening note, and the samples let you hear it. Word-level captions follow the read, so a documentary script arrives with subtitles that match each word.
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 per line.

FAQ
Questions about Edmund
Is Edmund the deepest voice on the site?
Our notes describe two voices as low, Edmund and Delaney. Play his documentary sample to hear the depth, or blend him under another voice for a lower floor.
How is Edmund different from Margaret?
Margaret is a house blend, two parts Imogen to one part Edmund. Edmund alone is the low British 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.
