ElevenLabs V3 is a text-to-speech model that generates natural-sounding narration from scripts. With emotional control, 70+ languages, and over 10,000 voices in different styles and accents, you can add professional-quality voiceover to video without hiring talent or recording in a studio.

Why creators choose ElevenLabs V3

Narration is often the most time-consuming part of video production. Finding talent, recording, engineering, and revising can take weeks. ElevenLabs V3 generates natural-sounding voice in seconds, ready to layer with music and effects. The model handles everything from technical exposition to emotional storytelling.

Over 10,000 voices to choose from

The voice library includes voices in different ages, accents, and speaking styles. Browse native English speakers, Spanish narrators, Japanese voices, and accents from every region. Preview any voice before committing. Whether you need a friendly guide, a professional narrator, or a character voice, the library has options.

Emotional control with audio tags

Voices don't have to be flat and robotic. Use audio tags to specify emotion, pace, and tone. "Excited and energetic" sounds different from "contemplative and slow." The model adjusts delivery to match the emotion you specify. This is especially useful for documentaries or educational content where tone shifts the meaning of information.

70+ languages, with natural accents

Language switching is immediate and automatic. Write a script in English, Japanese, and Mandarin, and ElevenLabs V3 generates each section with native pronunciation and pacing. International creators can build content for global audiences without hiring multilingual talent.

Sounds human

ElevenLabs V3 handles natural pauses, emphasis, and phrasing. Sentences land with intention. Comma placement creates breath. Punctuation shapes the delivery. The result sounds like a human read it, not a machine. Complex scripts, dialogue, and emotional narration all land with authenticity.

How to use ElevenLabs V3 in Craze

Craze now narrates with ElevenLabs v4 by default, which reads the same voices for less. V3 stays available when you ask for it by name, for example to match narration you already made with it.

1. Write or paste your script into Craze. Include stage directions like (PAUSE) or (EXCITED) if you want to signal a change in tone or timing.
2. Pick a voice from the library, or tell Craze to suggest one. Preview the voice with a sample of your script.
3. Specify the tone or emotion if you want control beyond the voice's natural delivery. Craze generates the narration and places it on the timeline.
4. Layer music and effects, adjust the level, and review. If the pacing or tone doesn't land, regenerate with a different voice or adjust the emotional tags.

ElevenLabs V3 is designed to sound natural from the start. Most scripts generate on the first pass, ready to use immediately. If a take doesn't land, regenerating with a different voice or emotional tag is quick enough that you can experiment without workflow friction.

Narration is billed $0.106 per 1,000 characters, based on the length of your script. A 30-second script costs less than a 5-minute documentary voiceover. Use the cost calculator on this page for exact estimates before you generate.
