How to Make UNIQUE Voices with AI - NEW ElevenLabs Voice Design
Howto & Style
Introduction
In the world of AI-generated content, ElevenLabs has made a remarkable leap with their latest development: voice design. This feature allows users to create entirely new voice profiles just by typing a simple text prompt. This means that instead of sorting through their extensive library of voiced options, users can generate a voice that perfectly suits their needs, whether it's for a character in a show or a unique storytelling style.
What is ElevenLabs Voice Design?
Previously known for their realistic AI text-to-speech voices and an extensive library of professional voice actors, ElevenLabs now introduces a highly creative tool that enables voice generation without the need for a reference voice. Users can now craft their own unique voices in just a few seconds by simply providing a voice prompt— a short description of the voice they desire.
How Does It Work?
Using ElevenLabs Voice Design is simple:
- Navigate to Voices: Once on the ElevenLabs platform, go to the left toolbar and select "Voices."
- Add New Voice: Click on "My Voices" and then on "Add New Voice."
- Select Voice Design: Choose the option for voice design to enter the voice generation process.
- Fill Out Parameters: There are two text boxes:
- Voice Prompt: A description of the voice (minimum of 20 characters).
- Text to Preview: This text will be read aloud – at least 100 characters long and a maximum of 1,000 characters.
Once these boxes are filled, you click “Generate Voice,” and ElevenLabs produces three different voice options for you to select from.
Examples of Generated Voices
The creativity of this tool shines when you explore examples from their Twitter release. For instance:
- A Yeti character’s voice is created by prompting with “A large Yeti with a deep rumbling voice.”
- For a witch, the prompt might be: “The moon whispers secrets tonight; the stars have sounds.”
- An elegant, classical British voice could be prompted by: “Terribly sorry to be a bore, old Bean, but might one trouble you for a splash more tea?”
These unique voices can be designed to match the persona needed for shows, characters, or even influencers.
Cost and Usage
While this innovative tool comes at a cost, the only charge is based on the number of credits used for generating the voice previews. You are only charged once per voice generation, providing three options simultaneously.
Additional Features
The ElevenLabs platform also allows for customization in voice tone, pitch, and intonation. Users can adjust these settings to create consistent yet versatile voice representations. This feature is particularly beneficial for those crafting dynamic characters or narratives.
Crafting the Perfect Prompt
To make the most out of ElevenLabs Voice Design, including details such as age, accent, nationality, gender, tone, and pitch can help refine the generated voice. For cartoon characters, simpler prompts can work effectively without needing extensive details.
