Voice Library

The Voice Library is a marketplace where our community can share Professional Voice Clones and earn rewards when others use them. Currently, only Professional Voice Clones can be shared. Instant Voice Clones and voices created with Voice Design are not shareable.

To access the Voice Library, click Voices in the sidebar and select Explore.

You can browse the Voice Library in several ways:

• Our Handpicked Collections highlight top voices across use cases, genres, and languages. These collections are updated regularly to include new standout voices.
• Use the search bar to find voices by name, keyword, or voice ID. You can also search by uploading or dragging and dropping an audio file. This will help you find the original voice, if available, along with similar voices.
• Use the filters to search by language and accent, gender, age and category. You can also use filters to search for voices with specific notice periods, that don’t have Live Moderation enabled, or to exclude voices with a custom rate.

You can play a sample for each voice by clicking it. If a voice has multiple previews for different languages, you can select the language you want to preview in the player at the bottom of the page.

You can use a voice directly from the Voice Library by using the Use voice button. This will open Text to Speech with the voice preselected. Once you use a voice, the notice period, if any, is saved for your account. This means that you will be able to continue using it for the duration of the notice period if it’s removed from the Voice Library in the future. 

To save a voice to your account so you can easily access it in the future, you can click the + button. Voices you’ve added to My Voices will become available for selection in all voice selection menus. You can also use a voice directly from My Voices by clicking the T button, which will open Text to Speech with the voice selected.

For more information, please visit our guide to the Voice Library.

Some voices in the Voice Library are only available to users with a paid subscription. If you’re on the free plan and you try to use one of these voices, you’ll see the message: “This voice is not available for free users.”

This is because these voices have a credit multiplier in place. Voices with credit multipliers are not available on the free plan, but they will become available if you upgrade to a paid subscription.

When you use a voice with a credit multiplier, the credit usage will be adjusted accordingly. For example, if a voice has a 2x multiplier, generating audio will cost twice as many credits as a voice on the standard rate.

For more details on custom rates and credit multipliers, you can refer to this article: What are custom rates and credit multipliers?

No. We only allow the sharing of professional cloned voices verified by a human. Instant Voice Clones, synthetic voices created using Voice Design, AI-generated or AI-enhanced voices cannot be shared in the Voice Library.

Users attempting to share voices generated with ElevenLabs or other AI tools into the library might be prohibited from sharing any voices in the future or suspended from the platform.

Engaging in fraudulent, predatory or abusive practices (like evading product guardrails including voice verification (e.g., CAPTCHA) is against our “Prohibited Use Policy” and might lead to a permanent ban of the user’s account.

To remove a voice that you have shared with the Voice Library, you first need to stop sharing the voice.  To do this, find the voice in the list of voices in My Voices, click More actions(three dots) then select Share voice to access the sharing settings.

Click the Publish to the Voice Library toggle to stop sharing your voice with the Voice Library.

If you did not agree a notice period when you shared the voice, you can delete the voice after you have disabled sharing. 

To do this, click More actions(three dots) then select Delete voice. Deleting a voice cannot be undone and you will be asked to confirm the deletion.

If you did agree a notice period, you will need to wait for this to expire before you can remove your voice. During the notice period, your voice can be used by anyone who had already saved it to My Voices, but it will no longer be visible in the Voice Library. 

Once you have activated the notice period, you will see a clock icon which you can hover over for confirmation.  Please be aware that if you share your voice with the Voice Library again in the future, by enabling the Discovery in Voice Library toggle, this will reset your notice period.

No, children’s voices or voices that sound child-like cannot be added to the Library. This policy applies to voices of minors as well as adult voices designed to mimic or sound like children.

We made this decision to align with our Prohibited Use Policy, which prioritizes safeguarding against any potential misuse of voices that could pose risks to children. Voices resembling children could be misused in harmful or exploitative ways, and this restriction helps ensure that our platform remains a safe and responsible space for creators and users alike.

For more information, please refer to our Prohibited Use Policy.

If you have further questions or need clarification, feel free to contact our support team.

You can usually hear our technology used all across the internet on social media, on YouTube, in marketing material, and sometimes you might want to know what voice is being used in this material. Luckily, we offer a tool just for this.

If you go to the Voice Library and look to the right of the search bar, you will see a little button that allows you to upload a file to use as the search method. Click this button and upload the file you want to search.

The AI will then present you with the most similar voices or the exact matches if there is one.

It’s important to keep in mind when searching that you should only include the audio of the spoken voice and nothing else. If there’s any background noise, music, or anything else in the audio clip, you should remove it and only include the actual audio of the voice. If you don’t have any clean audio, you can use the Voice Isolator first to isolate the voice and then upload that to get a more accurate match.

Also, please keep in mind that this will only search the voices available in the public voice library and not any custom voices from other sources.

You can use audio or video files to search the Voice Library for similar voices. The original voice used will be shown if it exists in the Voice Library, otherwise you will get suggestions for similar voices.

To do this, either drag and drop an audio or video file anywhere on the Voice Library page, or click the upload icon to select a file to upload.

For the best results, please upload speech only, without background music or noise.  You can use our Voice Isolator to clean up the audio if required. 

Long clips are not required for the AI to find a match.

You can generate a custom preview for your Professional Voice Clone, and choose this to be the preview for your voice in the Voice Library. You can change the custom preview at any time from the sharing settings for your voice.

First, you will need to have generated some suitable audio from a text prompt between 70 and 150 characters long.

If you don’t already have any eligible generations, find your voice in My Voices, and use the T button to open Text to Speech with your voice selected. Enter text of your choice between 70-150 characters and click Generate speech. You can generate the audio using any of our models, including v3. 

When you have a generation you’re happy with, return to My Voices. Find your voice in the list, click More actions (three dots) then select Share voice to access the sharing settings.

In the Publish to the Voice Library settings, use the drop down selection for Custom voice preview to select your recently generated text. This will then be applied as the preview for your voice. Only audio that meets the criteria (length of 70-150 characters) will appear in the list.

Some voices in the Voice Library have a credit multiplier in place. This is because the voice’s owner set a custom rate for financial rewards when they shared their Professional Voice Clone with the Voice Library. Custom rates are a legacy feature that is no longer available for newly shared voices.

When you use a voice with a custom rate to generate audio, this will have a credit multiplier in effect, meaning that it will cost more credits to generate with this voice.

If a voice has a credit multiplier in place, this will be displayed as a tag in the Voice Library:

In Speech Synthesis, you will see a notification that the voice has a credit multiplier in place:

The credit multiplier that applies for generating audio is based on the custom rate chosen by the voice owner as well as the subscription plan of the user of the voice.

The notice period in the Voice Library is designed to give users advance warning if the owner of a voice they’ve saved, or used previously, decides to stop sharing their voice. This ensures a smooth transition for users who rely on that voice.

When a voice actor shares their voice to the Voice Library, they can set a notice period. If no notice period is set, their voice will be removed immediately if they decide to stop sharing it, and anyone who has saved the voice will immediately lose access.

The minimum notice period is 3 months, and the maximum is 2 years. Voice owners receive increased financial rewards for selecting a longer notice period.

If a voice actor sets a notice period, users who have previously used or saved the voice will receive both email and in-app notifications when the voice owner decides to stop sharing their voice. The voice will be immediately removed from the Voice Library but will remain available for the duration of the notice period for users who saved or used it previously.

If a voice is deleted during an active notice period, it cannot be saved again because it is no longer available in the Voice Library.

Once a notice period is active, users can see in the app when the voice will be disabled. For API users, you can see this when fetching the voice using the Get Voice endpoint by looking for disable_at_unix in the response. If the voice has not had its notice period active, this key will not exist or it will say null.

For larger operations, you can also set up a webhook notification for voice removal, ensuring you are informed as soon as a voice is removed. This can be very useful if you need to be informed as soon as the voice is removed, for example if you need to notify your customers.

You can set this up on your webhooks settings page for your account.

When users choose to share their Professional Voice Clone with the Voice Library, they can enable Live Moderation.  When this is enabled, we use tools to check whether requests to use that voice contain text that belongs to a number of prohibited categories. 

Please note that using a voice model with Live Moderation enabled may result in extra latency.

For full details, please see the Voice Library Addendum.
