AI Narration for Courses: A Script Template

Course narration has different needs from a YouTube video: learners replay sections, content gets updated, and terms must be said the same way in every lesson. A consistent script structure makes AI narration easier to produce and much easier to fix later.

The lesson template

Write each lesson as short, separate sections. Each section becomes one segment in the studio, so changing a fact later means regenerating one segment, not the whole lesson.

1. Hook (1–2 sentences): why this lesson matters to the learner.
2. Objectives (1 sentence): “By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to…”.
3. Concept (3–6 short paragraphs): one idea per paragraph, each a separate segment.
4. Example (1 segment): a concrete case that applies the concept.
5. Check (1 segment): a question for the learner to think about, followed by a short pause.
6. Recap (2–3 sentences): the three points to remember.
7. Next step (1 sentence): what comes in the next lesson.

Keep a glossary of product names, acronyms and technical terms. Add each one as a pronunciation rule once, and every lesson says it the same way.

A short example

Hook: “Every week, customers ask the same three questions. In this lesson, you'll learn to answer them in under a minute.” Objectives: “By the end, you'll know where to find order status, how refunds work and when to escalate.” Recap: “Order status is in the dashboard. Refunds follow the policy. Escalate anything about payments.”

Voices for courses

• Pick one narrator for the whole course and keep the same speed.
• Use a calm or natural style at normal speed — learners need clarity more than energy.
• Use a second voice only for dialogues and scenarios, so learners can tell the roles apart.

Estimating credits

Narration runs at about 150 words, or 1,000 characters, a minute. A 10-minute lesson is around 10,000 characters, which is roughly 10,000 credits at about 1 credit per character. The studio shows the exact credit cost before you generate, and each plan on the pricing page shows about how many minutes of speech it covers.

Exporting

Download MP3 for most course platforms and video editors, or WAV on Creator plans and above if your tool prefers uncompressed audio. Name files by module and lesson (for example “M02-L03-refunds.mp3”) so updates are easy to swap in.

Tell learners it's AI

Add a line to the course introduction saying the narration is AI-generated. Commercial use — including paid courses — is included on MCV Labs paid plans, subject to the voice licence.
