Short-form story
Narration for a faceless story clip, built to land in under a minute.
“So my neighbour knocks on the door at eleven at night holding a ladder. Not asking for anything — just holding it. And he says, completely calmly: don't worry, this is about the cat. It was not about the cat.”
Phone greeting
IVR or voicemail line — the classic use for a consistent voice.
“Thank you for calling Northgate Supply. Our team is available Monday to Friday, eight until six. For an existing order, press one. For everything else, stay on the line and someone will be with you shortly.”
Product ad
Thirty seconds of ad copy, the hardest thing to read naturally.
“You already own the shoes. That's the annoying part. They're at the back of the cupboard, they still fit, and the only thing standing between you and Saturday morning is the fifteen minutes it takes to find them. We can't help with that. But everything after it, we can.”
About the Leo voice
Leo is friendly and upbeat without tipping into salesman — a premium male voice that stays warm across a long read. He works where Grace would be too weighty and the free voices too plain: marketing that wants to sound human, explanation that wants to sound welcoming.
The engine behind this voice
MiniMax speech-2.8 turbo is the premium tier: a commercial model with more character than the free engines and the widest language range here — sixteen, including Indonesian, Vietnamese, Turkish and Thai, none of which the free tier reaches. It takes up to 5,000 characters per request, adjusts from 0.75× to 1.5×, and returns MP3 or WAV. Longer text is split at sentence boundaries and joined back into one file.
Compare every engine and rate →What Leo costs
Leo is a premium voice, billed at 10 credits per 1,000 characters from a one-time credit pack. Credits never expire — there is no subscription and no monthly reset, so a pack bought for one project is still there for the next one.
A free account is required for paid voices, and every one of them previews before you spend anything. If the free tier does the job for your script, use it; the paid tiers exist for the cases where it audibly does not.
Best for
What Leo is good for
- Marketing and brand video that needs warmth rather than authority
- Onboarding, welcome and product-tour narration
- Explainers for a general audience
- Multilingual campaigns needing one consistent voice across languages
Limits
Where Leo is the wrong choice
Warmth without authority — for material that has to sound definitive rather than welcoming, Grace or the ultra voices carry it better.
If Leo is not quite right
- Grace — wise, storytelling — the same price as Leo, with a different character. Worth previewing back to back before you commit a whole script to either.
- Rachel — calm, professional, on the ultra tier. The step up is naturalness under close listening rather than a different personality — worth it for client work, usually not for a first draft.
- Poppy — british, bright, and free. If your script does not need what you are paying for here, this is where to check first.
