Hi!  Thanks for responding.  If I create an Avatar in Rise using, for example Deborah and download that video as an MP4 and integrate it into Storyline. I would like to have a "Deborah" voice available in Storyline so my avatar's voice matches the rest of my training. Right now I have to find the closest voice and which not only takes time, but is not spot on.  If the Deborah in Rise had a matching Deborah voice in Storyline, that would be wonderful. I am not sure if you have a list that I can look at to see what avatars in Rise have a matching voice in Storyline.

Hello TracyLendi-ed22​ 

Thanks for explaining your workflow! That helps clarify what you're trying to accomplish. I appreciate you sharing more details.

I can confirm that we do not have a list currently, but I will share your feedback with our product team. I do have one more question. Has needing to use a different voice ever changed how you design your courses or influenced whether you use AI avatars in the first place?

Thanks again for sharing your use case. The additional context you've provided is really valuable.

    Hi.  Yes, it does change the way I look at how I design my course.  If I have two voices, then I have to design my course with that in mind.  Meaning, I am not going to try and "fool" the user that it's the same person.  I need to then develop the course using a 2-narrator approach instead of an individual narrator. In it's simplest form, I may have the avatar, let's call him Bill, introducing the modules and he would bump to the 2nd narrator by saying something like, "We will have Jim talk a bit more in detail about this topic." This way the learner knows there are two narrators and I don't spend hours listening through various voices trying to find ones that are so similar that the different is undetectable.  Thanks.

      Hello TracyLendi-ed22, 

      Thanks for sharing that example. It’s helpful to understand that mismatched voices can change how you structure the course and create extra work to make the narration feel intentional.

      I’ve shared this additional context with our product team. We appreciate you taking the time to explain the impact on your workflow.

      Thanks again!

    Just want to second this use case. I have a Storyline video that utilizes an AI Avatar in specific slides. The other slides are narrated, and it would be helpful to be able to use the same voice for the slide narration so it appears to the user that one person is walking them through the course.
