------------------------------------------------------

Your agent's voice is often the first thing callers notice. It sets the tone before a single word of your prompt matters. A voice that fits your brand builds immediate trust — one that doesn't can undermine even the best conversation design.

## Finding the Right Voice

Click the Voice dropdown to open the picker. You'll see:

| Section            | What it does                                           |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Search**         | Find voices by name or characteristic                  |
| **Filters**        | Narrow by language, accent, age, gender, or model type |
| **Currently Used** | Your selected voice at the top                         |
| **All Voices**     | The full library to browse                             |

Take your time here. Filter by the language you need, then explore. Every voice has a personality — some are warm and reassuring, others confident and direct.

<Tip>
  **Always preview.** Click the ▶️ button next to any voice to hear a sample. Listen with your prompt in mind — does this voice sound like the agent you've written?
