## Hear the difference

The same sentence, twice. Emma is Australian, Brittney American - listen to the vowel in "day" and "no", which glides further in the Australian line, and to the r at the end of a word, which the Australian voice drops and the American keeps.

All 6 run on the ElevenLabs tiers: Enhanced at 110 credits / 1,000 characters (≈ $0.23 per minute of speech) and Premium at 160 (≈ $0.33) for the most natural result. The Standard tier reads Australian English too at 50 credits, and for most languages it has native voices of its own. Every clip downloads as MP3.

## What an Australian audience hears

What a listener in Sydney or Melbourne recognises is General Australian: the broadcast register, without the broad drawl of the bush or the clipped cultivated accent of the fifties. All six voices speak it. The r at the end of a syllable disappears, so "car" and "here" end on a vowel; the vowel in "day" and "no" glides further than in either American or British English; and statements often rise at the end, the high-rising terminal that makes a sentence sound like a question to everyone else and like ordinary speech in Australia.

The accent matters where the listener decides whether this was made for them: a radio ad, an IVR a customer in Brisbane calls, a training module for Australian staff. An American voice reading Australian copy is perfectly clear and still lands as imported. Emma and Jess suit conversational and social reads, Paul corporate and product narration, Tom the easygoing explainer register, Steve podcasts and video narration in a professional mid-forties voice, Vivian character work. New Zealand is close enough that these voices read acceptably there, but a New Zealander will hear Australian, not local, which is what the New Zealand English page is for.

## Frequently asked questions

**Can I choose an Australian accent rather than a generic English voice?**

Yes - the six voices on this page are Australian, and each has a free sample you can play before spending anything. The American and British sets have their own pages.

**Is it General Australian or a broad accent?**

General Australian, the register used in broadcasting and corporate narration. Broad rural and cultivated accents are not offered as separate voices.

**Will it do for a New Zealand audience?**

It reads clearly there, but it does not pass as local: the vowels in "six" and "fish" are the giveaway New Zealanders hear immediately. For copy aimed at New Zealand, the New Zealand English page has five Kiwi voices.

**Which Australian voice should I pick?**

For conversational and social content, Emma or Jess. For corporate and product narration, Paul. For a relaxed explainer, Tom. For podcasts and video narration, Steve. For characters, Vivian. All six have free samples.

**How much does Australian English text to speech cost?**

The six voices on this page cost 110 credits per 1,000 characters on Enhanced or 160 on Premium. The Standard tier has five native Australian voices of its own at 50. All of it comes from a pay-as-you-go balance that starts at $5 and does not expire.
