Free Choir and Vocal AU Libraries Worth Downloading

Voices that don’t speak — they resonate

There’s something timeless about the human voice. Even when detached from language, it carries meaning, tension, breath, and warmth. A single vocal tone can make a track feel cinematic, sacred, or uncomfortably intimate. It’s no surprise that some of the most iconic textures in modern composition come not from instruments, but from voices turned into instruments.

And for creators working in ambient, cinematic, electronic, or experimental music, free vocal libraries can open entire worlds of emotion — especially when they’re AU compatible and easy to layer, tweak, or reimagine.

Here’s a hand-picked selection of the most inspiring free choir and vocal libraries, chosen by the creators of ONE Instrument® and tested in our creative workflows.
