Turn a script into speech with Voice Generator
Voice Generator is the Nodespell Creative Tool for text-to-speech. You write a script, pick a speech model and a voice, and get back an audio file of the script being spoken. Voice Generator lists only speech models; for music or sound effects, use the other audio tools.

Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS settings
Section titled “Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS settings”Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS reads inline delivery tags in the prompt, such as [laughing], [whispering] or [short pause]. Style Instructions describe tone, pace and accent without being spoken. For dialogue, add Speakers entries whose Speaker Alias matches the line prefix in the script, for example Host:, and give each its own Voice. Language Code defaults to English (US).
What changes with the model?
Section titled “What changes with the model?”- Voices: every model has its own voice list; voices do not carry over when you switch.
- Languages: some models offer a language setting; check the model’s description for supported languages.
- Reference audio: a few models, such as Qwen3 TTS and Resemble AI Chatterbox, accept an audio sample to guide the voice.
- Multiple speakers: Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS supports multi-speaker scripts; most models read one voice.
When you switch models, Nodespell carries over the settings it can map and tells you which could not be carried over.
Where does the audio go?
Section titled “Where does the audio go?”Generate places the speech model node in the current graph level and runs it. The audio appears in Results in the Create form and stays in the node’s history; see Takes. Generated audio also appears under Generated and Audio in the Asset Manager, ready to use in Speak or the Timeline.
Common problems
Section titled “Common problems”- Words are mispronounced. Spell them phonetically in the script, or try another voice or model.
- The read sounds flat or erratic. On ElevenLabs TTS V3, lower Stability for more emotion or raise it for a steadier read.
- Long scripts drift between parts. Split the script and use Previous Text and Next Text so each part knows its neighbors.
