# Voices and voice cloning

> Find a voice by language and accent, clone your own voice from a recording, or design a new voice from a description.

Every text-to-speech voice comes from the voice list: about 2,000 ready-made voices, plus the voices you add yourself. Your own voices work across Easy-Peasy.AI, for example in [talking videos](/docs/videos/talking-videos) and the [Video Agent](/docs/videos/video-agent).

## Choose a voice

On [AI Text to Speech](/docs/audio/text-to-speech), click **Change voice**.

</Frame>

* **Search voices...** finds voices by name, language, accent, or description.
* **Language** and **Accent** narrow the list, for example English with a Singaporean accent.
* **Audio tags** shows only voices that can act out [audio tags](/docs/audio/text-to-speech#audio-tags).
* The play button plays a sample. The star marks a favourite; favourites come first in this browser.

Click a voice to choose it, then click **Select Voice**. Your own voices appear first in the list.

Two badges to know:

* **Audio tags**: the voice acts out tags like `[laughs]`. Up to 5,000 characters per generation.
* **Saver**: uses one character for every 10 you convert. It always makes MP3 and ignores Turbo and Advanced Settings.

## Your own voices

Add voices three ways:

| Option                 | How it works                                                    | Plans                                      |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| **Instant** clone      | Copies a voice from a short recording in seconds                | All                                        |
| **Professional** clone | Captures more of the speaker's character from a clean recording | Unlimited 50 and higher, Teams, Enterprise |
| **Design a Voice**     | Creates a new voice from a written description                  | All                                        |

All three count toward your plan's custom voices, from 1 on the Free plan. See [Audio plans and limits](/docs/audio/limits). Creating a voice doesn't use characters.

<Warning>
  Only clone your own voice, or a voice you have permission to use.
</Warning>

## Instant clone

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Clone Your Voice">
    On AI Text to Speech, click **Clone Your Voice**. **Instant** is selected.

    <Frame>
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/easy-peasyai/9Brw5At2juy5r5tl/images/audio/clone-instant.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=9Brw5At2juy5r5tl&q=85&s=bb2e83f7e831172e7e3c1d95ba1dd02f" alt="Clone Your Voice with Instant selected: guidance to use one speaker, over 1 minute, with no background noise; Upload Sample Recording; and Or Record New Audio with a microphone button" width="500" data-path="images/audio/clone-instant.webp" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a recording">
    Upload an audio or video file of up to 10 MB, or click the microphone and record up to 3 minutes. Use one speaker, more than a minute of speech, and no background noise or music.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name it and save">
    Enter a **Voice Name** and click **Add Voice**. The voice is ready to use right away.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Professional clone

A Professional clone sounds closer to the speaker, especially their rhythm and expression.

</Frame>

1. Click **Clone Your Voice** and choose **Professional**.
2. Upload an MP3, M4A, or WAV file, or record. The recording must be 10 seconds to 5 minutes long. If it's longer, drag the highlighted window to choose which part to use.
3. Optionally type **What does the recording say?**: the recording is checked against it, which catches silent or unclear samples before the clone is made.
4. Name the voice and save it.

Professional clones:

* Can't be deleted by you. Contact support to remove one.
* Can't be used in the Voice Changer. Make an Instant clone of the same recording for that.
* Ignore **Stability** and **Clarity**, and don't offer Turbo.
* Are removed if your subscription ends.

## Design a voice

Describe the voice you want, and you get three versions to choose from.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Describe the voice">
    Click **Design a Voice** and write a **Description** of 10 to 1,000 characters: age, gender, accent, tone, pace, and the job it's for. **Try an example** fills in a sample, and **Best practices** has tips.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Generate voice">
    After up to 30 seconds, you get three versions. Play each one.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick one and save it">
    Select your favourite, enter a **Voice Name**, and click **Save voice**.

## Delete a voice

In the voice list, click the trash icon on one of your voices. Deleting frees a place for a new custom voice. Professional clones can't be deleted this way.
