Try this feature

Open Voice Studio

Note: For a single voice and a short script, use Text to Speech instead.

Create a voice project

To start a project:

A new project named Untitled voice project opens in the editor. Click the name to rename it.
Add your lines with Paste a script, Dialogue template, or Add first line.

Naming the project and starting from the dialogue template

Note: Each line can be up to 3,000 characters. Split long lines into shorter ones.

💡 Tip: When you paste a script, write one line per row as “Name: line”. New names become new speakers, and each one gets a voice automatically.

Add speakers and set their voices

To set up your speakers:

Select a speaker under Speakers, then open the Speaker tab on the right.
Edit the Speaker name, and click Change voice to pick a different voice.
To add a speaker, click Add speaker. Enter a name, choose a label color, and select a voice. ElevenLabs voices are listed first, and your own voices are in My Voices.

The Speaker tab and the Add speaker window

Note: The number of speakers per project depends on your plan: 2 on Free, 5 on Personal, and 10 on Team and Enterprise.

Add an emotion tag to several lines at once

To tag many lines in one step:

Check the box next to each line you want to tag. Shift+click selects a range, and Select all selects every line.
Click Apply emotion tag and choose a tag, such as [calm] or [cheerful]. The tag is added to all selected lines.

💡 Tip: In the Project tab, Auto-suggest for all untagged lines adds a suggested tag based on punctuation. It only changes untagged lines whose voice supports emotion tags.

Adjust pauses and speed

To fine-tune the timing:

Click a line's gear icon (Line settings). Set its Emotion tag and a pause before or after the line.
Open the Project tab and choose a Speed. It applies to every voice.

Line settings with emotion tags and pauses, then the Speed menu in the Project tab

FAQ

Do I need an avatar to use Voice Studio?
No. Voice Studio makes audio only, with no avatar needed.

How is Voice Studio different from Text to Speech?
Text to Speech uses one voice and one script for a quick voiceover. Voice Studio is for multi-voice narration and dialogue projects.

How are credits charged?
Credits are charged for the actual length of the audio when an export finishes. Playing lines to preview them is free.

Can I try Voice Studio on the Free plan?
Yes. The Free plan includes a free trial that exports up to 1 minute of audio at a time, with no credits used.

Which plans include Voice Studio?
Voice Studio works with the Personal and Team credit plans and with Enterprise. If you are on an older Unlimited plan, Voice Studio asks you to switch to a credit plan first.

How long can each line be?
Each line can be up to 3,000 characters. If a line is longer, split it into shorter lines.

What file formats can I export?
MP3 or WAV. The whole project is exported as one audio file.
