The Master Guide / 10 Voice and lip sync · Voice and Arabic dialects
Ten complete line scripts
Ten lines ready to run, written for this guide with invented brands. Each gives the canonical line, the engine text and the settings, with what to listen for.
Ten lines ready to run, written for this guide with invented brands. Each gives the canonical line, the engine text and the settings, with what to listen for.
Every script uses 48 kHz WAV output, Similarity at default, two generations, and the project's alias dictionary (see Voice and Arabic dialects → ElevenLabs settings, tags and pace, Do it yourself). In each engine card the tag comes first and the line follows; type them into one text box in that order. The line break after the tag only adds a short lead-in pause, which the trim removes; you may also type the tag and the line on one line.
A. Cairene, comedy commercial (a TV remote that keeps vanishing)
«مين اللي خد الريموت؟ أنا لسه حاطه هنا من دقيقة!»
[annoyed, half laughing]
مِين اللي خَد الرِّيموت؟ أنا لِسَّه حاطُّه هِنا مِن دِقيقَة!
Settings: language code ar; Stability 0.4, for comic range. The qāf in the word for "minute" stays as written; the voice should give the glottal stop. If it is read as a hard q, use rung a or b on that word only.
B. Cairene, price line (a meal deal from the invented chain "Forno")
The source copy writes the price in figures:
«الوجبة كلها ب ١٤٩ ج.م بس»
The canonical line writes it as said:
«الوجبة كلها بمية تسعة وأربعين جنيه بس.»
[bright, confident, smiling]
الوَجْبَة كُلَّها بِمِيَّة تِسْعَة وأَرْبِعين جِنيه بَس.
Settings: Stability 0.5. On the first pass, the number and the word for "pound" must transcribe exactly.
C. Saudi Najdi, family drama
«وش صار؟ ترى أمك تتصل عليك من الصبح.»
[quiet, worried, low voice]
وِش صار؟ تَرى أُمَّك تِتَّصِل عَلَيك مِن الصُّبْح.
Settings: Stability 0.45. A draft until the native Saudi reviewer passes it.
D. Saudi Hijazi, a seafront café commercial
«إيش رأيك نطلع الكورنيش دحين؟»
[playful, warm]
إيش رَأْيَك نِطْلَع الكورْنيش دَحِين؟
Settings: Stability 0.45. Cast a Jeddah voice: a Najdi voice here is a casting error, not a spelling error.
E. Gulf (Emirati), sport
«يلا يا عيال، الحين دورنا!»
[shouting over a crowd, fired up]
يَلَّا يا عْيال، الحين دَوْرْنا!
Settings: Stability 0.35, for range. A shout is exempt from the scene gain; check its true peak. The crowd under it comes from a real CC0 crowd recording, never a generated Arabic murmur (see Sound design and mix → Real recordings from Openverse (CC0)).
F. MSA, the opening of a stylised documentary
«من هنا، بدأ كل شيء.»
[calm, slow, low voice]
مِنْ هُنا، بَدَأَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ.
Settings: Stability 0.65, for steady narration. Case endings are marked because the line is MSA.
G. Cairene with a brand name (the invented skincare brand "Lunesse")
Here the client's script writes the brand in Arabic letters, so the canonical line does too. Where a script writes it in Latin letters, the canonical line keeps the Latin, and only the engine text moves it into Arabic script.
«جرّبي لونيس من النهارده.»
[warm, inviting, close to the mic]
جَرَّبي لونيس مِن النَّهارْدَه.
Client's spelling | Engine spelling | IPA | Client audio |
Lunesse | «لونيس» | /luːˈnɛs/ | none |
Settings: Stability 0.5.
H. Sa'idi, heritage drama (the likely fallback case)
«يا ولدي، النخلة دي ما بتنساش اللي سقاها.»
[slow, weathered, proud]
يا وَلَدي، النَّخْلَة دي ما بِتِنْساش اللي سَقاها.
Settings: Stability 0.45, on the three best Egyptian voices. The Sa'idi listener judges it. Listen for the qāf in "watered": a Sa'idi speaker says it as g, and an Egyptian voice may give the Cairene glottal stop instead. If no voice passes the English-quality bar, brief a native Sa'idi actor.
I. Levantine, a casual lifestyle line
«شو رأيك نطلب أكل هلّق؟»
[casual, friendly]
شو رَأْيَك نُطْلُب أَكِل هَلَّق؟
Settings: Stability 0.5; a Levantine voice found with the accent filter; a native Levantine reviewer.
J. English, dry comedy commercial
"Every house has one drawer of mystery cables. Ours is now… empty."
[dry, understated] Every house has one drawer of mystery cables. [slight smile] Ours is now… empty.
Settings: language code en; Stability 0.5. On-screen English lines then follow the English route (see Speaking shots and lip sync → English lines and Seedance's own voice).
