  • English - All English voices (US, UK, Australian, etc.)
  • Arabic - All Arabic voices (various dialects)

Gender Selection Considerations:
  • Match your brand personality and target audience
  • Consider cultural preferences in your market

  • No right answer - depends on use case and preference

Benefits:

Troubleshooting Voice Issues

Voice Sounds Robotic or Unnatural

Possible Causes:
  • Low-quality voice selected
  • Voice-text mismatch (Arabic voice speaking English)
  • Technical issues with provider
Solutions:
  1. Try a different voice from same provider
  2. Test voices from different providers
  3. Verify language matches voice language
  4. Check for provider outages in Live Call Logs

Voice is Too Fast or Too Slow

Solution: Voice speed is inherent to each voice selection. To adjust:
  1. Try a different voice with your preferred pace
  2. Adjust your prompt to use shorter/longer sentences
  3. For custom voices, re-clone with different sample audio pace
Voice speed/stability parameters are currently tied to voice selection. Future updates may include speed adjustment controls.

Voice Doesn’t Match Accent/Dialect Needed

Solution:
  1. Use Dialect Filter to find exact match
  2. If no exact match, choose closest available
  3. Consider custom voice cloning for specific accents
  4. Enable Language Dialect Switcher for better caller understanding

Voice Sounds Different in Production vs Preview

Possible Causes:
  • Preview audio is compressed
  • Actual synthesis uses different parameters
  • Network/audio quality differences
Solution:
  1. Always test via Test Agent feature (browser call or phone)
  2. Don’t rely solely on preview audio
  3. Test in production-like environment

Can’t Find Previously Used Voice

Solutions:
  1. Check Currently Used tab
  2. Use search with voice name

LLM Temperature & Model Settings

While not directly voice settings, LLM configuration affects speech patterns:

Temperature

Temperature controls response creativity and variability: Range: 0.0 - 1.0 Default: 0.2 Low Temperature (0.0 - 0.3):
  • More consistent, predictable responses
  • Follows script/guidelines closely
  • Less creative variation
  • Best for: Customer support, information delivery, compliance
Medium Temperature (0.4 - 0.7):
  • Balanced creativity and consistency
  • Natural variation in phrasing
  • Maintains guidelines while sounding natural
  • Best for: Sales, conversational agents
High Temperature (0.8 - 1.0):
  • More creative, varied responses
  • May deviate from script
  • More human-like unpredictability
  • Best for: Creative conversations, less structured interactions
GPT-5 family models require temperature = 1.0 (fixed). This is automatically enforced.
To adjust temperature:
  1. Open LLM Configuration section
  2. Adjust Temperature slider
  3. Save changes

LLM Model Selection

The LLM model affects response quality, speed, and voice-text alignment: Available Models:
  • GPT-5 Series - Most advanced, temperature fixed at 1.0
  • GPT-4.1 Series - Balanced quality and speed
  • Gemini Series - Google’s models
  • DeepMyst Optimized - Telephony-optimized models
DeepMyst optimized models are specifically tuned for voice conversations and may provide better results than standard models.

Voice + Prompt Synergy

Your voice selection and prompt should work together:

Matching Voice to Prompt Personality

If your prompt says “friendly and casual”:
  • ✓ Select conversational, warm voice
  • ✗ Don’t select formal narrator voice
If your prompt says “professional and authoritative”:
  • ✓ Select professional narrator or business voice
  • ✗ Don’t select casual, youthful voice
If your prompt says “empathetic and caring”:
  • ✓ Select warm, slower-paced voice
  • ✗ Don’t select fast, transactional voice

Voice Affects Perceived Personality

Even with identical prompts, different voices create different perceptions: Professional Female Voice:
  • Perceived as helpful, organized
  • Good for: Healthcare, education, customer service
Professional Male Voice:
  • Perceived as authoritative, knowledgeable
  • Good for: Finance, legal, technical support
Casual Female Voice:
  • Perceived as friendly, approachable
  • Good for: Retail, hospitality, lifestyle
Casual Male Voice:
  • Perceived as confident, casual
  • Good for: Sales, tech support, informal services
These are generalizations based on common perceptions, not universal truths. Always test with your specific audience.

Multi-Language Scenarios

Single Language Agents

Most agents operate in a single language:
  1. Select language: English or Arabic
  2. Choose voice in that language
  3. Write prompt in that language
  4. System messages appear in that language
Simple and straightforward.

Bilingual Callers

For callers who might speak either language: Option 1: Separate Agents
  • Create one English agent
  • Create one Arabic agent
  • Route calls based on caller’s language preference
Option 2: Language Dialect Switcher
  • Configure agent in primary language
  • Enable Language Dialect Switcher
  • Agent adapts to caller’s dialect within same language family
Single Prompt Agents cannot switch between entirely different languages (English ↔ Arabic) mid-call. For true multilingual support, create separate agents or use Flow Agent with language detection.

Voice Selection Checklist

Before finalizing your voice selection, verify:
  • Language matches - Voice language = agent language
  • Dialect is appropriate - Matches target market if applicable
  • Gender fits brand - Tested with target audience
  • Style matches use case - Conversational vs Narrator
  • Tone aligns with prompt - Voice personality matches written personality
  • Tested in real calls - Used Test Agent feature, not just preview
  • Clear audio quality - No distortion, artifacts, or robotic sound
  • Pace is appropriate - Not too fast or slow for use case
  • Team approval - Stakeholders reviewed and approved
  • A/B tested - If high-volume, compared 2-3 options
Use this checklist before launching your agent to production. Voice is often the first impression callers have of your brand.
