20 American English AI voices. Male and female options. Generate natural-sounding speech for free.
American English is the most-requested language for text-to-speech globally. With roughly 240 million native speakers in the United States and several hundred million more who use it as a second language for business, software, and media consumption, it powers the bulk of the world's voiceover, e-learning, and AI assistant content. EasyVoice ships 20 American English voices on the Kokoro engine — the broadest catalog we offer for any single locale — covering 11 female and 9 male timbres ranging from warm and conversational (af_heart, af_bella) to authoritative and broadcast-style (am_michael, am_onyx). All 20 voices are tuned for the General American accent — the rhotic, regionally neutral baseline used by US national news anchors, YouTubers, and most LA-based voice talent — so the output reads as 'standard American' rather than tied to a specific city. We see American English used most heavily for YouTube narration, online course modules, podcast intros, IVR phone trees, app onboarding flows, and accessibility read-aloud features. The combination of 20 voices, a 5,000-character/day free tier, and the $9.99/mo unlimited Pro plan makes EasyVoice the cheapest production-grade option for creators churning out daily American English content where ElevenLabs' per-character billing punishes high-volume scripts.
EasyVoice's American English voices target General American (GenAm) — the accent associated with national broadcast media, the upper Midwest baseline, and most professionally trained US voice actors. GenAm is rhotic (the 'r' in 'car' is pronounced), uses the cot-caught merger that's now common across most of the western US, and avoids the regional markers of New York (non-rhotic, raised /ɔ/), Boston (dropped 'r', broad 'a'), Southern American (monophthongal /aɪ/, drawled vowels), or African American Vernacular English. Within the GenAm bucket, our voices vary by warmth and pitch rather than by region: af_aoede and af_bella sit in a brighter, more expressive register suited to lifestyle and creator content; am_michael and am_eric land lower and more measured for documentary, training, and corporate narration; am_santa and am_puck lean character-forward for game and animation work. We do not currently ship distinct Southern, New York, Boston, AAVE, or Chicano English voices — buyers needing those specific regional accents typically pair EasyVoice with a specialist provider for the regional cuts.

What teams typically build with American English voices on EasyVoice.
20 American English voices — 11 female and 9 male — all tuned for the General American accent. That makes American English our largest voice catalog by a wide margin, and 6 of the 10 voices on the free tier are American English.
Native-sounding General American. The Kokoro models are trained on American English speech directly — they are not the same model speaking with an American accent. Listeners typically can't distinguish the output from a US-based human voice actor in casual content.
Yes. Both the free tier and Pro plan permit commercial use under EasyVoice's terms of service, including monetized YouTube videos, paid courses, client-billed marketing assets, and SaaS products. There is no separate commercial license fee.
ElevenLabs' American English voices are slightly more emotive and support voice cloning, but billing scales with characters — heavy users pay $22–$99/mo. Google Cloud TTS WaveNet voices are robotic by comparison and require GCP setup. EasyVoice is $9.99/mo flat for unlimited characters and ships 20 ready-to-use voices with no provisioning step.
Pro accounts can generate scripts of effectively any length — long-form narration is split into chunks server-side and stitched seamlessly. The free tier resets 5,000 characters per day, which covers roughly a 35-minute narration script.
Not currently. All 20 voices are General American. Regional and dialectal English voices are tracked on our roadmap but aren't available today — for those specific cuts, pair EasyVoice with a regional-specialist provider.
