About the Filipino language
Filipino, based on Tagalog, is the national language of the Philippines and is used together with English across the country. Everyday speech often mixes Filipino and English, known as Taglish.
Filipino is spoken by about 83 million people and belongs to the Austronesian, Philippine language family. On Speechma you can choose from 34 Filipino voices: 6 HD voices, 13 standard voices and 15 styled voices. Every voice has its own page with a real sample, so you can compare them before you start.
Which Filipino voice should you choose?
- For videos, audiobooks and ads: start with the 6 HD voices, such as Adam Filipino HD and Elliot Filipino HD. They have the richest, most natural sound.
- For long documents, lessons and phone messages: the 13 standard voices, such as Andrew Filipino and Ava Filipino, stay clear and consistent over long texts.
- For a specific character: the 15 styled voices are each made for one job, from audiobook, podcast, movie trailer, narration and youtube. Try Angelica and Bea.
