Mudo voice-picking UX

Four ways to choose a host voice without browsing 95 cards

These are interaction patterns for the station builder. Each one uses the same Inworld voice catalog and preview audio, but makes the decision smaller: filter, match to station role, compare one at a time, or tune high-level traits.

1. Guided facets

Start with low-cognitive-load choices: gender, age group, and broad style. This is closest to your original idea and works well when users already have a voice profile in mind.

Good fallback UI

2. Station archetypes

Let the user choose the role the voice must play in the station. Instead of asking them to understand tags, Mudo translates station intent into a ranked shortlist.

Best for radio builders

3. One-at-a-time audition

A deck avoids the “listen to everything” problem. Users hear one candidate, keep or skip it, and end with a tiny comparison set.

Best on mobile

4. Trait mixer

Users set how the host should feel instead of selecting metadata. The system scores voices against transparent tag groups and explains why each voice appears.
