A voice clone is a custom voice that replicates your own. It is automatically created when you generate a Personal Avatar, but it can also be used independently of the avatar. Our voice clones currently use ElevenLabs for creation. We announced this partnership here: Synthesia and ElevenLabs Partnership.
💡 If you have created an ElevenLabs Professional Voice Clones want to transfer them to Synthesia, you can read more about this process here: How to Transfer ElevenLabs PVC to Synthesia.

💬 FAQs
Why is my voice clone not playing with my personal avatar?
Why is my voice clone not playing with my personal avatar?
Ensure you have selected your personal avatar and your custom voice for your video scene.
Why is my accent not being captured in my voice clone?
Why is my accent not being captured in my voice clone?
In some cases, the ElevenLabs instant voice cloning that powers our in-app voice cloning and Personal Avatars cannot always preserve the accent of non-native English speakers, as ElevenLabs only has English accent data for US, UK, Australian, and Canadian English.
To ensure your clone maintains your accent, we recommend to produce a Professional Voice Clone with ElevenLabs (contact ElevenLabs directly for pricing).You can find out more information on the voice cloning process here.
Once purchased and trained, you are able to import the clone into Synthesia.
Importing voice clones from ElevenLabs is only available to our Enterprise Plan users.
If you would like discuss upgrading your plan, please contact our Synthesia Support team or use our upgrade guide.
Notes:
Creating a personal avatar automatically generates a voice clone. See the How do I create my Personal Avatar? article to learn more.
