New Text to Voice Design in ElevenLabs

ElevenLabs has introduced a new Voice Design feature that lets creators generate custom AI voices using text prompts, expanding the possibilities for audio content creation.

This tool enables ElevenLabs users to create specific character voices when they can't find a suitable match in the existing voice library, though the company notes that Professional Voice Clones remain their highest quality offering.

Here's a quick demo:

Key Capabilities

  • Generate three voice options from a single text prompt

  • Create both realistic voices and character-specific voices, from corporate professionals to fantasy creatures

  • Customize voices based on age, accent, gender, tone, and other attributes

  • Integrate with other ElevenLabs features like sound effects and music generation

The system works alongside ElevenLabs' existing tools, including their recently added AI-based sound effects feature that allows creators to generate soundscapes and instrumental pieces. The company has established a partnership with Shutterstock to ensure legal compliance for their audio generation capabilities.

Early this year, ElevenLabs was among 5 AI & AR companies selected for the 10th Disney Accelerator Program.

Final Take

This development represents a significant step forward for independent creators and small studios who need diverse voice options but lack access to professional voice talent. For film producers and game developers, it offers a practical solution for prototyping or creating placeholder dialogue, though it's worth noting that the technology is still experimental.

The tool's ability to generate custom voices could particularly benefit projects requiring unique character voices or specific demographic representations in their audio content.xx
