ElevenLabs v4 is ElevenLabs' newest text-to-speech model, and the voice Craze narrates with by default. It turns a script into a performed read in more than 90 languages, follows audio tags you write inline, and keeps a voice sounding like itself from the first line of a long script to the last.
Why Craze narrates with ElevenLabs v4
v4 replaced ElevenLabs V3 as Craze's default because it is better and cheaper. It reads the same catalog voices and your designed voices, takes the same delivery settings, and costs less per character.
More languages
v4 covers more than 90 languages, up from 70+ on V3. ElevenLabs reports the biggest gains in Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Mandarin and Cantonese, which helps when one video ships in several markets.
Direction you can stack
Audio tags like [excited], [whispers], [laughs] and [pause] go straight into the script, and v4 performs them. You can combine more than one tag on a line when a beat needs it, though one or two per beat still reads most naturally.
A voice that holds
Long narration used to drift: a voice could sound slightly different by the end of a ten-minute read. v4 holds a voice's identity over longer passages, so a documentary or tutorial sounds like one narrator throughout.
How to use ElevenLabs v4 in Craze
- Write or paste your script, or ask Craze to write it.
- Craze casts a voice that fits the genre, or you pick one from the catalog or your designed voices.
- Choose a delivery (expressive, natural or steady) and add audio tags where a line needs a specific reading.
- Craze generates the narration as one continuous take and places it on the timeline. If a line doesn't land, regenerate the narration with a different voice, delivery or tag.
