ElevenLabs Voice Design V3 is a voice generation model that creates custom synthetic voices from text descriptions. Instead of browsing a library of thousands of voices, you describe the exact voice you need, and the model generates a voice preview to audition. Use it for character voices, narrators with specific traits, or any voice that doesn't exist in the library.

Why creators choose Voice Design V3

Every project has a unique voice. Sometimes that voice doesn't exist in the library. Voice Design V3 lets you create it in seconds.

Describe exactly what you need

You don't browse through thousands of voices hoping to find the right one. Describe the character or narrator voice you want (age, accent, emotion, speaking style, timbre) and Voice Design V3 generates it. Regenerate with a revised description to try another.

Higher quality and expressive range

Voice Design V3 was rebuilt with improved quality and broader emotional control. Generated voices are production-ready and compatible with ElevenLabs v4's audio tags for emotional delivery.

Works across 70+ languages with local accents

Generate voices with specific regional accents or dialect. A Brooklyn accent, a Scottish voice, a Singaporean English speaker: the model understands and generates with precision.

Reusable voices

Once you generate a voice you like, save it and use it for any narration or dialogue. Generate once, use forever. Multiple projects can share the same custom voice.

Voice remixing

To change a design, update your description and generate another preview.

How to use Voice Design V3 in Craze

Voice Design V3 lets you create custom voices quickly. The workflow is fast.

1. Write a detailed description of the voice you want. Think about age, gender, accent, emotion, and speaking style. "A young, enthusiastic tech entrepreneur with a slight New York accent" or "A wise, measured elder speaking slowly and thoughtfully."
2. Tell Craze to generate a voice using Voice Design V3. The model creates a preview based on your description.
3. Audition the preview. Regenerate with a refined description if it does not fit.
4. Use that voice for any narration or text-to-speech. Once created, the voice is saved and reusable across your project.

Voice Design V3 is designed for creative freedom. Describe a voice, audition it, and move forward. Iteration is fast and cheap.
