Sound like yourself on a good day

Voice notes, voice prompts and phone calls now come before most first dates. Record 20 seconds, see how your voice scores, and practice the parts that would make it warmer and clearer.

One voice rating is free every 30 days. For adults 18 and older.

Score, practice, rescore

1. Read a short passage aloud for 20 seconds. You get a 1 to 10 voice score and a score for each part of your voice.
2. SMVrater picks the parts that hold your score back and builds a seven-day plan of short drills, about six minutes a day.
3. Record again. A before-and-after card shows how far your score moved, and you can share it.

Where it helps

• Dating-app voice prompts and voice notes.
• The first phone or video call.
• Nerves: tension raises pitch and speeds you up, and both are trainable.

SMVrater also rates a photo and has a two-minute agreeableness questionnaire. Each one is separate and optional.

Questions

What makes a voice attractive on a date?

A relaxed pace, a clear tone and natural pitch movement. The cut-offs come from published research on which voice qualities listeners rate as attractive. It is a guide for comparing your own recordings over time, not a verdict.

Will other people see my score?

Only if you share it. Each result has a share card with the score numbers and nothing else.

Is it free?

One voice rating is free every 30 days with an account.

Your recording is not kept

The recording is measured on our own server and deleted as soon as the score is computed. No person listens to it. Only the score numbers are saved, for your progress chart. The score is an automated measurement of how your voice sounds, not a judgment of you, and the drills are ordinary voice practice, not speech therapy or medical advice.
