Casting
How to choose an AI presenter
Casting is the one creative decision that changes how the whole video lands.
Shortlist three presenters whose voice and manner match your audience, test each with the same 30-word script, then keep the winner for every video so your brand stays recognisable.
The detail, in plain English
The gallery gives you 143 presenters with a preview clip each. Judging by the still portrait alone is the most common mistake — voice carries more of the impression than the face.
Consistency beats variety. One familiar presenter across a series does more for recall than a different face every time.
What to do, step by step
- 1Describe the listener firstA finance director and a first-time buyer expect very different energy. Write that down before you browse.
- 2Shortlist three, not thirtyPlay previews and keep the three that sound like the person your audience would take advice from.
- 3Test with the same scriptGive all three the identical 30 words. Differences in warmth and pace become obvious immediately.
The short version in a table
| Audience | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Senior buyers | Measured pace, low energy, formal dress |
| Consumers on social | Warm, quick, conversational |
| Internal teams | Familiar, relaxed, not sales-like |
| Non-UK markets | A voice that carries well in the target language |
A worked example
Worked example (illustration). A recruitment firm tests three presenters on the same 30-word intro, picks the calmest of the three for candidate emails, and uses a brighter presenter for its social clips.
What to watch out for
- Do not choose on the portrait alone — always play the preview.
- Swapping presenters mid-series resets any recognition you have built.
- The most energetic option is rarely right for a compliance or finance message.

Questions people ask
Do I need any video experience?
No, but a good ear helps. If you can tell whether a voicemail sounds friendly, you can cast a presenter.
How much does it cost?
Browsing and previewing presenters costs nothing. You only use allowance when you produce a finished video, and the free tier covers your first one.
Can I edit it afterwards?
You can change presenter and produce again at any time. The script stays put, so a re-cast is a one-click decision rather than a rewrite.
