Tips
Spelling, commas and the right form of address.
Keep umlauts and ß (ä, ö, ü, ß); writing ae/oe/ue works but sounds less certain.
German commas mark clauses — keep them, they're the voice's pause cues.
Choose du or Sie to match your audience; a YouTube script with Sie sounds stiff.
Write abbreviations out (z. B. → zum Beispiel) for a smoother read.
Very long compounds read fine, but a hyphen can help with invented ones (Kenerate-Stimmstudio).
For an English speaker with a German accent, describe it in Voice Design.
