Yes! Bark offers a range of accents, from British English to Australian, and even regional dialects. Just pick your preferred option during voice selection.
How does Bark handle emotional nuance in stories or scripts?
Bark’s AI analyzes context to adjust tone automatically. For example, it’ll soften its voice for a tender scene or add energy for an action-packed moment. You can also manually set the emotional tone for finer control.

While Bark focuses on speech synthesis, you can layer its audio with music or effects using third-party editing tools.
How does Bark ensure audio clarity in noisy environments?
The AI isolates speech patterns to minimize background interference, but for best results, use it in a quiet setting or pair it with noise-canceling software.
