Premium Tutorial

TL;DR; A walkthrough of producing a video with a Premium voice from start to finish. Takes about 15 minutes the first time. If you already know how the voice dialog works, this is just a matter of flipping Choose voice type to Premium before you confirm.

This page is a first-time walkthrough for anyone who wants to produce a video with a Premium voice. If you've already made a video with a Standard voice, the only difference is the voice type selector at the top of the voice dialog.

Before you start

You need:

• A PowerPoint deck (.pptx) with speaker notes. A short one is fine for a first try — five to ten slides.
• A Lupo account with Premium voices enabled. If you don't see the Premium option in the voice dialog, contact your admin or email help@lupo.ai.
• A few extra minutes of patience — Premium voices render more slowly than Standard ones.

Step 1 — Upload your PowerPoint

Go to lupo.ai/projects/slides and drop your .pptx on the upload area. Wait for the file to finish uploading.

This is the same flow as Create Video From PowerPoint. The difference is coming in the next step, at the voice dialog.

Step 2 — Switch the voice type to Premium

When the voice dialog opens, the first control is Choose voice type. It defaults to Standard. Click it and select Premium.

The Choose a voice dropdown immediately updates to show only Premium voices. Pick one. A few suggestions:

• For executive content, pick a voice with a calm, steady tone. Set speed to 0.9 or 1.0.
• For warmer training content, pick a friendlier Premium voice at 1.0.
• For marketing-adjacent material, pick the voice that sounds most conversational in the Premium list and leave speed at 1.0.

Step 3 — Set captions (optional)

If you want subtitles, pick them in the Subtitles (Captions) multi-select. Captions don't slow the render any further — they're done in parallel.

Step 4 — Leave advanced options alone

Unless you have a specific reason to change them, leave the Advanced section as-is. The Generate voice-over if no notes are found checkbox is safe to leave on; it just means Lupo will draft narration for empty slides instead of rendering them silent.

Step 5 — Confirm

Check that Your Email is the right address, add any additional emails if you want a colleague copied, and click Confirm.

Lupo kicks off the job and closes the dialog. You'll see a banner: "Video generation started. You'll receive an email once it's ready."

Step 6 — Wait (a little longer than usual)

Premium renders take longer than Standard. For a five-slide deck, expect roughly twice the wait time of a Standard render. For a longer deck, expect it to scale proportionally. The email will arrive when the video is ready — no need to keep the tab open.

Step 7 — Listen critically

When the video lands, watch the whole thing. Pay attention to:

• Pauses. Premium voices handle commas and paragraph breaks better — did it work on your longest sentences?
• Proper nouns. Product names, people's names, acronyms — did the Premium voice pronounce them any differently than Standard would have? Sometimes better, sometimes worse.
• Energy over time. Long training videos can get monotone on Standard voices. Does the Premium voice stay engaging across all slides?

If the answer to any of those is "no," you have two levers: rewrite the problem note (shorter sentences, phonetic spellings of tricky names) and try again, or switch to a different Premium voice.

Step 8 — Make it your default for that project

Once you find a Premium voice that fits a specific project (a course, a product line, a customer), stick with it for every video in that project. Consistency makes the overall body of work feel more professional than variety does.

When not to bother with Premium

Not every video needs a Premium voice. If your audience is internal, the content is routine SOPs, or you're producing at high volume, Standard voices are the right call. The time and minute cost of Premium only pays off on content where someone would notice a flat voice.

• Emotions — use sparingly with Premium voices for even better results.
