It reads Thai with a foreign accent, since the voice is designed around English. For Thai copy, the roster's Thai voices are the right choice, and they read English terms inside Thai lines.

How is it different from Cookie?

Cookie reads warm and level, for a listener who needs help. Donut reads bright and forward, for a viewer deciding whether to keep watching.

Is it suitable for long video?

The energy is written for short form. Across a long tutorial it starts to feel relentless, and Toast holds that distance in the same band.

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the channel. Today we have something really fun to share.

The clip is a channel open. Listen to the lift on really fun, which is where the register lives.

Try it in the playground All voices

Donut reads English with the energy of a channel host who knows the first line decides everything. The register is warm, quick, and unmistakably built for video.

It is one of four English-first voices. Those voices are designed around English and carry a foreign accent when handed Thai, which is why the roster keeps the two groups apart.
