you write down phonemes on a DAW, and it synthesizes the voice for you. you also put down vibrato or other modifiers like you would for most other instruments.

the audio is generated from a voicebank that is a database of prepared phonemes recorded from a voice actor. some packages come with multiple variants of voicebanks, like you could have a "soft" voice and a "vivid" voice.
