Introducing Voice Design v3

Discover Voice Design v3: create unique AI voices with ease. Describe your desired voice, get three instant options, and deploy for creators, businesses, and developers.

Voice Design v3

We're excited to announce Voice Design v3. The new release makes creating voices quicker, easier, and more intuitive than ever before. 

Voice Design v3 is ideal for creators, businesses, and developers who need specific voices for their project. All you have to do is describe your voice, instantly get three options, choose your favorite, and start using it right away.

Give it a try and see how easy voice creation can be.

Why Voice Design Matters

Voice Design v3

When we launched Voice Design, the goal was simple: let any creator generate a bespoke voice — no studio booking, no audio library deep dives. Version 3 takes that further, offering more control, faster iteration, and a smoother path from concept to final audio.

Projects often require dozens of voices: a calm narrator, an anxious side character, a few game NPCs, maybe even a talking raccoon. Searching for “something close enough” slows teams down. 

Voice Design v3 removes that friction. Type a description, generate three candidates, choose one, and move on — all while paying only for the characters in your prompt, not per sample.

What’s New in v3

  • Precision audio quality: Add terms like “perfect audio quality” (or any other grade) to your prompt — v3 will honor them. Want a tin-can radio effect instead? Just say so. You control the polish.
  • Smarter prompting engine: v3 handles nuanced cues like “middle-aged New Yorker with rising intonation and a half-smile” without introducing artifacts or losing clarity. Behind the scenes, we’ve expanded the latent space and retrained on broader accent data, making rare combinations sound natural.

Two design modes

  • Realistic Voice Design for lifelike performances. Example: “An Indian woman with a soft, calm delivery.”
  • Character Voice Design for anything from elves to elder gods.

One click, three voices

Hit Generate and v3 returns three distinct voices. Keep the one you like—it fills a voice slot—and discard the rest. No queue. No extra cost.

Design a voice in three steps

Background
Ah, aye, it's a bonnie day outside, isn't it? pause We used to sit by the loch when I was a lad, watch the sun dip below the hills. reflective Those were the days... simpler times, ye ken? chuckle I remember my gran always had a wee tale or two. She'd say, "Ye mind, laddie, that the old stones have stories to tell." gravelly Ach, the wisdom in the old ways, there's something to that. I think I'll have a wee sit down on the porch now, take in the view. quietly
  1. Pick a concept: What role does the voice play? Sketch a quick persona.
  2. Prompt with intent: Describe age, accent, tone, pacing, and audio quality in a single sentence. Example: “Perfect audio quality. Elderly male, thick Scottish accent, slow and reflective, gravelly timbre.”
  3. Save and deploy: Choose one of the three previews—it’s instantly usable in the ElevenLabs API or web studio.

No dropdown forests. No hidden levers. Just results.

Prompting Power Tips

Below you’ll find the attributes our research team sees most often in top‑quality results:

Attribute Why it matters Example keywords
Age Sets vocal texture and pitch child, teen, middle-aged, elderly
Accent/nationality Grounds the character in place thick Australian, light French, neutral American
Gender Guides resonance male, female, gender-neutral
Tone & emotion Drives delivery warm, assertive, anxious, joyful
Speed Controls pacing without editing fast, measured, languid
Guidance scale Balances creativity vs. prompt fidelity “guidance scale 10” (try 8–12 for accuracy, 3–5 for exploration)

For a full matrix, see the Prompting guide in docs.

A word on clarity

Les meilleurs prompts ressemblent à une conversation quotidienne : courts, précis et sans jargon. Ce principe reflète notre style d'écriture : si un mot peut être supprimé, supprimez-le.

Question fréquemment posée

Non. Les PVC restent la référence lorsque vous devez reproduire un artiste spécifique sous licence. Voice Design comble les lacunes lorsque cette voix exacte n'est pas dans notre bibliothèque ou lorsque vous travaillez sur un nouveau concept.

Seulement les caractères de votre texte de prévisualisation — même si nous générons trois échantillons en coulisses.
