Welcome to the Next Era of Game Audio
Picture this: a virtual stadium lights up, the score is tied, the clock’s winding down—and then, “Here comes the shot… nothing but net!” Instantly, a voice captures the moment, reacting with the timing and energy of a live sportscaster. But this isn’t a pre-recorded line—it’s a custom-built, real-time text-to-speech (TTS) voice modeled after a professional commentator.
With ReadSpeaker, developers can now deliver dynamic, high-energy play-by-play commentary using B2B custom TTS voices for games, bringing immersive audio experiences to life, at scale. This isn’t synthetic for the sake of novelty. It’s responsive, professional-grade commentary designed to keep up with gameplay and powered by deep neural network (DNN) modeling.
What Are Custom TTS Voices for Games?
Custom TTS voices are advanced voice models derived from studio recordings performed by professional voice actors. They’re designed to be:
- Authentic: Built from real performances capturing tone, pacing, and emotion.
- Deep Neural Network-powered: Delivering lifelike real-time commentary and responsiveness.
- Ethically sourced and compensated: Voice actors are integral partners in the process.
These voice models generate play-by-play commentary, personalized callouts, and contextual audio—all in real time.
Inside the Experience: Fast, Flexible, and Personalized
Real-Time Game State Updates
As the game evolves, voice lines adapt with it. Whether it’s a substitution, a three-pointer, or a momentum shift, ReadSpeaker Custom Voices deliver seamless play-by-play that keeps pace with the action.
Personalized Callouts
Use dynamic text fields to create variable voice lines that incorporate player names, team tags, or stats. It’s audio that feels tailored—without requiring thousands of static recordings.
High-Energy, Broadcast-Ready Delivery
These aren’t robotic voices. Our voice models are trained on studio performances to replicate the pacing, tone, and emotion of real-life commentators using advanced DNN modeling techniques.

Voice Actors: Creative Partners, Not Replacements
At ReadSpeaker, we believe the future of game audio starts with talent, not technology. Every TTS voice we create is built in partnership with a professional voice actor, whose performance serves as the foundation for our models.
We don’t scrape data or replicate voices without permission. Instead, we build ethically and transparently:
- Original Studio Performances: We capture authentic tone, pacing, and expression from real sessions, giving our models their unique sound and personality.
- Fair Compensation and Licensing: Voice actors are contracted, fairly compensated, and maintain clear control over how their voices are used.
- Scalable Output Without Re-Recording: Developers can expand dialogue dynamically as gameplay evolves, without requiring the actor to return to the booth every time.
- Controlled Use: Our B2B-only platform ensures voice models are deployed only within agreed contexts, protecting the actor, the studio, and the brand.
This actor-first approach is at the heart of the ReadSpeaker VoiceLab, where we collaborate directly with game studios and voice professionals to create custom, long-term voice solutions tailored to gameplay and creative goals.

Why Developers Should Care
1. Players Expect Immersion
Modern players want environments that feel dynamic and alive. With responsive, real-time voice lines, live commentary from announcers brings emotional weight and excitement to every match, bringing a deeper sense of presence that visuals alone can’t deliver.
2. More Flexibility, Less Re-Recording
Instead of scripting and recording thousands of static lines, developers can rely on ReadSpeaker’s high-quality, natural-sounding TTS to expand scripts dynamically as games evolve, long after the original recording session ends.
3. Customization at Scale
Use dynamic text fields to personalize callouts with player names, match stats, or summaries, tailoring the experience to your game’s format, region, or audience without multiplying your production workload.
4. Stand Out in a Crowded Market
Games with dynamic voice don’t just look great—they sound competitive. And that’s what players remember. A unique voice experience becomes part of your brand identity, driving fan engagement.
