Choosing Voices

ElevenLabs offers hundreds of pre-made voices:

• Voice Library — Community-shared voices across demographics, accents, and styles
• Default voices — High-quality voices curated by ElevenLabs
• Your cloned voices — Custom voices you've created

Filter by: gender, age, accent, use case (narration, conversational, news, etc.)

Controlling Output

Stability — How consistent the voice stays:

• Low stability = more expressive, variable (good for storytelling)
• High stability = more consistent, predictable (good for narration)

Similarity Boost — How closely it matches the original voice:

• Higher = more accurate to the original
• Lower = more natural-sounding but less precise

Style Exaggeration — Amplifies the voice's emotional characteristics

Speaker Boost — Enhances clarity and presence

Text Formatting Tips

• Use punctuation for natural pauses: commas, periods, ellipses
• CAPITALIZE for emphasis (use sparingly)
• Add "..." for dramatic pauses
• Use paragraph breaks for breathing pauses
• Spell out numbers and abbreviations for consistent pronunciation
• Add pronunciation guides in parentheses for unusual words

Output Formats

• MP3 (default, good for most uses)
• PCM/WAV (uncompressed, professional quality)
• Various sample rates: 22kHz, 44.1kHz (high quality)
