Calm, the popular meditation and sleep app, has launched an exciting new Sleep Story that is bound to captivate users. Titled “Once Upon a TikTok Tale,” this Sleep Story takes listeners on a dreamy journey through surreal locations inspired by popular TikTok trends. What sets this story apart is that it is narrated by the voice behind TikTok’s text-to-speech voice, Kat Callaghan.
Callaghan, a Canadian radio host and voiceover artist, is known for her peppy and robot-like voice on TikTok. In collaboration with Calm, she has created a unique Sleep Story that seamlessly transitions between her TikTok voice (nicknamed Jessie) and her normal, more soothing voice. As the story unfolds, Callaghan’s voice gradually slows down, creating a serene atmosphere that helps listeners drift off to sleep.
