The voice that answers your phone is the voice of your brand. When a caller picks up the line, that first greeting sets the tone for the entire interaction. A friendly, clear, and confident voice instils trust and communicates professionalism.

Before your AI agent ever speaks with a customer, you can now test its voice directly inside the Syllable Console. The new Voice Test feature lets you listen, adjust, and compare voices instantly — all without running a live session.

With Voice Preview, you can confirm your tone, pronunciation, and pacing before launch.

How it works

• Go to your Agent in the Syllable Console, click on "Agents", select the agent you'd like to hear and click "Preview"
• Start your test under "Test your agent", click "Start"
• Listen and adjust — instantly hear your agent's voice and listen to its tone, pronunciation and pacing
• Verify tool calls — watch the panel on the right hand side for tool usage and other technical information
• Perfect the voice — change the voice or adjust the talking speed under "Voices"

Voice Preview makes it easy to

• Preview voice quality without running full sessions
• Ensure pronunciation accuracy for brand names or complex terms
• Compare voice providers like Google Chirp, OpenAI, ElevenLabs
• Save time during onboarding and QA

Combined with Pronunciations and Voice Groups, Syllable offers you full control over how your agents sound in every language and across every channel.
