Voices

Overview

ElevenLabs provides models for voice creation & customization. The platform supports a wide range of voice options, including voices from our extensive Voice Library, voice cloning, and generated voices created using text prompts.

Voice types

• Community: Voices shared by the community from the ElevenLabs Voice Library.
• Cloned: Custom voices created using Instant Voice Cloning or Professional Voice Cloning.
• Voice Design: Generated voices created with the Voice Design tool.

Community

The Voice Library contains over 10,000 voices shared by the ElevenLabs community. Use it to:

• Discover unique voices shared by the ElevenLabs community.
• Add voices to your personal collection.
• Share your own voice clones for cash rewards when other paid subscribers use it.

Cloned

Clone your own voice from 30-second samples with Instant Voice Cloning, or create hyper-realistic voices using Professional Voice Cloning.

• Instant Voice Cloning: Quickly clone a voice from short audio samples.
• Professional Voice Cloning: Generate professional-grade voice clones with extended training audio.

Voice-captcha technology is used to verify that Professional Voice Clones are created from your own voice samples.

Voice Design

With Voice Design, you can create entirely new voices by specifying attributes like age, gender, accent, and tone. Generated voices are ideal for:

• Realistic voices with nuanced characteristics.
• Creative character voices for games and storytelling.

Voice Design creates 3 voice previews. You just need to provide:

• A voice description between 20 and 1000 characters.
• Optional text to preview the voice, between 100 and 1000 characters.

Voice Design with Eleven v3

Using the Eleven v3 model, voices that are capable of a wide range of emotion can be designed via a prompt.

Using v3 gives the following benefits:

• More natural and versatile voice generation.
• Better control over voice characteristics.
• Audio tags supported in Preview generations.
• Backward compatibility with v2 models.

Voice Remixing

Voice Remixing allows you to transform voices you own by modifying their core attributes while maintaining their recognizable characteristics. You can adjust gender, accent, speaking style, pacing, and audio quality through natural language prompts. This feature is particularly useful for adapting voices to different contexts, creating character variations, or improving audio quality of existing voice profiles. Voice Remixing works with any cloned voice you personally own (Instant Voice Cloning or Professional Voice Cloning) or voices created through Voice Design.
