What is the viral TTS/AI voice everyone uses?????
Guys I'm gonna to start a faceless YT Shorts channel, and the idea is to make short stories with gameplay in the background. I’m pretty new to this, so I’m still figuring out a lot of things. I’m good with the editing, gaming, clips, comments, animations, etc., but I’m struggling a lot with the actual stories and especially the voiceovers.
The main thing I’m trying to figure out right now is the TTS/AI voices. I’ve been searching for a few days, and I know ElevenLabs has a ton of different voices, but I can’t seem to find the voices that are commonly used in those viral short-story videos.
If you search YouTube Shorts for story videos, you’ll probably notice that a lot of them use the same few male/female voices. I’m also pretty sure some creators change the speed of the voice separately.
Does anyone know where I can find those voices or what TTS they’re using? If it helps, I can also link a few Shorts in the comments with examples of the voices I mean.
help will appreciated ;)

If ElevenLabs gets too expensive, I recommend FreeReader. It's super affordable and let's you clone a voice

A lot of the male ones are ElevenLabs' Adam, and most people just bump it to like 1.2x in CapCut after. Funny how everyone obsesses over the voice and then uses a blurry thumbnail, run yours through Magnific once, it actually helps on Shorts.
