Ivy Text to Speech — AI Girl Voice Generator
Generate audio in Ivy TTS — the bright American child voice that played Bobby and Daisy across a decade of GoAnimate grounded videos, and lived inside thousands of IVONA-built apps before AWS rolled it into Polly as the Child Female narrator.
Reach for this voice when a script needs that specific 2010s GoAnimate kid cadence — Bobby tantrums, classroom scenes, school-presentation reads, storybook openings, cartoon child sidekicks. Modern neural synthesis preserves the timbre creators have recognised since the IVONA era.
Ivy at Three Pitches — Same Voice, Three Different Ages
Hold pitch 0 for the classic GoAnimate / Polly Bobby sound. Drop the pitch for a preteen storybook narrator. Push it up for a younger, brighter kindergarten energy.
"Hi! My name is Ivy. I am the classic American child text to speech voice from GoAnimate and IVONA."
The original sits at pitch 0 — clean, neutral American child TTS, exactly as GoAnimate and IVONA users remember. Drop to −5 with speed 0.95 for a preteen storybook narrator; push to +5 for a younger, brighter cartoon-sidekick energy. The voice keeps its kid timbre at every setting — no adult creep when you pitch down.
Where Creators Actually Use the Ivy Voice
Three scenes that are character-locked — not a generic kid TTS use case you could solve with any child voice.
Bobby & Daisy — GoAnimate Kid Roles
In the grounded-animation subgenre, she is the kid voice — Bobby protesting that he did not do anything wrong, Daisy tattling on her brother, the school assembly kid asking a question. Every grounded channel on YouTube paired this timbre with Joey's angry-dad delivery. Drop the line into the editor at pitch 0, generate, and the audio lands exactly the way 2010s GoAnimate viewers expect.
Bring Back the IVONA Reader Ivy Voice
IVONA Reader, MWS Reader, NEX TTS Reader — the desktop apps that introduced thousands of creators to this child voice in the early 2010s are mostly abandoned, broken on modern Windows, or stuck behind dead download links. The voice itself lived on, and that is what you hear here. Open SpeechGen, paste the text, press Convert — the same timbre your old IVONA install made famous, in a browser tab. No installer, no licence key, no Windows-7 compatibility shim.
Storybook & Bedtime Story Reads
Drop the pitch to −5 and she reads like the preteen narrator on a children's audiobook chapter — calm, paced, gentle. Parents recording bedtime channels, classroom teachers building read-along videos, and indie kids' podcast hosts use this setting when they want a kid voice that does not shout. Keep speed at 0.95 so each sentence lands.
Pro Tips: Get the Most Out of Ivy
Speed 1.0 Matters as Much as Pitch 0
The authentic Bobby timbre is a pitch and speed lock. Even a small speed bump to 1.05 nudges the read from "8-year-old protesting" toward "anxious chipmunk." Hold both at default whenever the script needs to sound like the IVONA / Polly recording grounded-channel viewers actually remember.
Lower Pitch for Preteen Narration
For storybook chapter reads, kids-podcast cold-opens, or any text that wants a slightly older child narrator, try pitch −3 to −5 with speed 0.95. She keeps her kid timbre but the delivery sounds 11-12 instead of 8-9 — perfect for "older sister reading aloud" scenes.
Punchline Beat for Grounded Tantrums
The Bobby protest rhythm lands best when each grievance is its own sentence, not a comma list. When you script a grounded-kid tantrum, break the rant into three short lines and a longer threat sentence — same delivery shape every GoAnimate channel uses, no manual SSML needed.
Pair Ivy With Joey for the Full Grounded Scene
The canonical GoAnimate dynamic is Joey (angry dad) plus Ivy (kid getting grounded). Script both lines in the same project — both at pitch 0 — and the audio drops straight into a grounded-animation scene with no further direction. See Joey Voice TTS for the matching adult side.

GoAnimate Bobby Reaction
pitch 0, speed 1.0 — classic Bobby getting groundedBut daddy, I do not want to go to my room! It is not fair! I did not do anything wrong! You always blame me for everything and you never listen. I am going to tell mom and she will say you are wrong.
Storybook Opening
pitch −3, speed 0.95 — bedtime narrationOnce upon a time, in a little house at the edge of the forest, there lived a girl named Lily. Every morning she opened her window and listened to the birds. One day, the birds had something very important to tell her.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — she was one of the most-used child voices on GoAnimate (later Vyond), routinely cast as Bobby, Daisy, and the rest of the kid roster in grounded-animation videos. The same timbre and cadence you remember from thousands of viral grounded videos on YouTube is what plays when you press Convert. The engine has been upgraded to clean neural synthesis, but the recognisable sound is preserved.
The character started life as an IVONA TTS voice in the late 2000s — the Child Female US English option. Amazon acquired IVONA in 2013 and rolled the model into AWS Polly as the Child Female voice. So when people search for "ivona ivy" or "polly ivy" — same character across different engine generations. The version on SpeechGen is the ivy ai voice running on a cleaner neural synthesis model.
Yes — that pairing is the canonical GoAnimate scene. Joey at pitch 0 plays the angry dad, the kid voice at pitch 0 plays Bobby. Script both lines in the same project, hit Convert, and the audio drops straight into a grounded-animation timeline. See Joey Voice TTS for the matching adult side.
Correct. The voice is fully AI-generated — no child actor was recorded. Output is licensed for commercial use (YouTube, animation, audiobooks, e-learning, kids apps) under the standard SpeechGen plan. The page imagery is cartoon illustration only, not photoreal AI — same safeguarding rule we apply across the child text to speech hub.
The Standard tier is half the cost per character of the premium voices, closest to the original IVONA / Polly sound creators recognise. Ivy plus is the PRO neural upgrade — richer expression, smoother phrasing, slightly more emotion. Same character, different engine tier. Full kid-voice gallery (Anny, Pixie, Abigail, Chloe and more) is on /en/child-tts/.
