Best practices for recording your voice

FAQs
Click a question below to learn more about your Legend's appearance.
What’s the difference between a custom avatar and a stock avatar?
A custom avatar creates a Legend based on your own photo and voice, so it looks and sounds more like you. A stock avatar lets you choose a ready-made character from a gallery instead of creating a digital version of yourself.
Stock avatars are a good option if you prefer not to use your own appearance, want a different character to represent your business or brand, or want a faster setup.
A stock avatar is ready to use right away, while a custom avatar can take up to 4 hours to generate.
Do I need professional equipment to record my voice?
Not at all. Clear, natural speech recorded on your device’s built-in microphone is usually enough. Try to avoid loud background noise for best results.
Do my Legend's voice calls with users get saved?
No, voice calls with your Legend are not saved or stored. However, each call is transcribed so users can review their conversation and continue chatting with your Legend through messages after the call.
