Pro Tips: Get the Most Out of Brian
Match the Pitch to the Vibe
For audiobook narration drop to −3 to −5 pitch with speed 0.95 — adds gravitas without going cartoon. For GoAnimate-style comedy keep pitch at 0 — that's the iconic version. For absurd copypasta humor, push to +8.
Slow Down for Dramatic Reads
Brian's natural delivery is energetic. For news-anchor authority or documentary narration, drop speed to 0.9. Combined with pitch −5, this creates the classic BBC-Radio-4 effect — measured, resonant, comforting.
Use Punctuation as Direction
Brian respects commas (small pause), periods (medium), and ellipses (longer beat). Add <break time="500ms"/> for dramatic emphasis. The original IVONA Brian responded the same way — modern Brian inherits that timing.
Add Sound Effects
Brian sounds even more authoritative paired with the right ambient — door knocks, applause, news jingles. Click the sound icon in the toolbar and browse the built-in library.
Open the editor and try inserting a sound between sentences.
Background Music
For audiobook chapters, layer a soft cinematic track at 20–35% volume. For Twitch donation alerts, skip music entirely — Brian alone hits harder. The music library has 100+ ambient tracks.
