Sienna, a bright American English voice for hooks and promos
Sienna carries the published list's only target quality of A among the American English voices, with 10 to 100 hours of training audio and an overall A-. Our note: brighter than Maya, good for hooks and short promos.

Three samples, three registers
- A calm harbor line sits outside the use our note names; listen for whether the brightness suits it.
- The short-video hook is her home ground by our note; listen for clarity on the numbers and the opening word.
- Listen for whether the energy reads as enthusiasm or as push.
On the record
An A- with ten to a hundred hours behind it
Target quality measures how clean the reference audio was and how well its text matched; Sienna's is A. Her training band is 10 to 100 hours, the largest on the list; together they give the A-.
Our note places her next to Maya as the brighter of the two and points her at hooks and promos; keep hooks short.
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.
