When the voice drops in volume, starts to whisper, or starts to distort then this is most likely a stability issue or a voice issue. The prevalence is very dependent on the voice used, how wide the dynamic range is, if there is any low rumble, and in general just how well cloned it is and how good the original samples are.
For anything longer than a few hundred characters, it is highly recommended to use the Projects feature if you are encountering these types of issues. Not only will it be less prone to these issues, it will also allow you to regenerate specific paragraphs you are unhappy with, not the whole text.
You can find more information about troubleshooting such issues here and you can find the guidelines for voice cloning here.

would you recommend i do some noise reduction to my voice for cloning?
full iceBOT
AI-generated Answer for olivaque
Yes, I would recommend doing some noise reduction on your voice samples before using them for voice cloning. Here are a few key points on why noise reduction is important:
Noise-Free Recording
Ensure that the audio input doesn't have any interference, like background music or noise. The AI cloning works best with clean, uncluttered audio. Any background noise or artifacts in the samples will be replicated in the cloned voice.
Audio Pre-processing
Consider editing your audio beforehand if you're aiming for a specific sound you want the AI to output. For instance, if you want a polished output, pre-process your audio to remove any noise, room reverb, or other unwanted sounds. The cleaner the input, the cleaner the output will be.
Tips for Recording
- Record in an acoustically-treated room to reduce echoes and background noise
- Use a pop-filter to minimize plosives
- Position yourself at the proper distance from the microphone (about two fists away is recommended)
If you have existing samples with background noise, I'd highly recommend using a noise reduction tool to clean up the audio before uploading for cloning. This will help ensure the AI can focus solely on your voice and deliver the highest quality clone possible.

I tried to clone my script with the chapters but it didn't work eitehr
full iceBOT
AI-generated Answer for olivaque
Based on the provided information, it seems there could be a few potential reasons why cloning your script with chapters did not work:
Importing Issues
The import function tries its best to import files correctly, but there can be issues depending on how the book is formatted or if there are images present. A common problem is if each chapter starts with an image as the first letter, which can confuse the AI since it cannot extrapolate the letter. In such cases, you may need to manually add the letter to each chapter.
Additionally, if the text is imported as a single long paragraph instead of being split at line breaks, there might be an issue, and it may not work properly. The imported text should follow the same structure as the original book. If it doesn't, you may need to try copying and pasting the text or converting it to another format.
Glitches Between Paragraphs
On rare occasions, you might encounter glitches or sharp breaths between paragraphs when using Projects, which you might not experience with Speech Synthesis. This issue is relatively rare, but the team is actively working on resolving it. If you encounter this, you can try regenerating the last paragraph, as these issues tend to occur at the end of certain paragraphs.
If the provided information does not address your specific issue, please provide more details, and I'll try to assist further or suggest alternative solutions.

I still have the problem of my cloned files getting quieter after 30 secs, even while making a project with chapters.
full iceBOT
AI-generated Answer for olivaque
It seems like you are experiencing an issue where your cloned voice starts to get quieter or loses volume after around 30 seconds, even when using the Projects feature with chapters. This could be due to a stability issue or a problem with the voice itself.
Here are a few potential solutions you could try:
Check Voice Quality and Samples
The quality of the original voice samples used for cloning plays a crucial role in the stability and consistency of the output. If the samples were not optimal, it could lead to issues like volume drops or distortions during longer generations.
Ensure that you followed the guidelines for voice cloning, such as:
- Using high-quality audio recordings without background noise or interference
- Having a consistent tone, accent, and performance throughout the samples
- Providing enough sample audio (1-2 minutes for Instant Voice Cloning, 30-180 minutes for Professional Voice Cloning)
If the samples were suboptimal, consider recloning the voice with better quality samples.
Adjust Voice Settings
You can try adjusting the voice settings to see if it improves the stability and consistency of the output. In the "Voice Settings" tab, you can experiment with different settings like stability, clarity, and pitch.
However, keep in mind that each attempt to generate a voice will bring a different result, especially at lower stability settings.
Use Projects for Long-form Content
As mentioned in the documentation, the Projects feature is specifically designed for long-form content and may be better suited for handling longer generations compared to the Speech Synthesis feature.
Even with Projects, if you encounter issues with a particular section or paragraph, you can try regenerating that specific part instead of the entire text.
If the issue persists after trying these solutions, it's recommended to reach out to the ElevenLabs support team for further assistance, as they may be able to provide more specific guidance based on your use case and the voice samples you're working with.

I have a professional quality of my voice recording with over 2 hours long. The volume decreases even in project. Anything else you can do to fix it?
full iceBOT
AI-generated Answer for olivaque
Based on the provided information, it seems you are experiencing an issue where the volume of your professional voice clone decreases or becomes quieter, even when using the Projects feature. Here are some potential solutions:
- Check the audio samples used for cloning
The quality and consistency of the audio samples used for Professional Voice Cloning can significantly impact the output. Ensure that the 2+ hours of audio you provided is of high quality, recorded professionally without background noise, has consistent volume levels throughout, and follows the guidelines outlined in the documentation.
If the original audio samples have volume fluctuations or inconsistencies, the cloned voice may inherit those issues. In such cases, you may need to re-clone the voice with a new, more consistent set of audio samples.
-
Adjust Voice Settings
You can try adjusting the Voice Settings for your cloned voice. Look for settings related to volume, gain, or normalization, and experiment with different values to see if it helps maintain a consistent volume level throughout the generated audio. -
Use Projects and regenerate problematic sections
Since you mentioned that the issue persists even when using Projects, you can try regenerating the specific sections where the volume drops. The Projects feature allows you to regenerate individual paragraphs or sections without having to redo the entire text. -
Reach out to support
If you have tried the above steps and the issue persists, it's recommended to reach out to ElevenLabs support. They may be able to provide further assistance or investigate if there are any underlying issues with your specific voice clone.
The documentation mentions that stability issues or voice issues can sometimes cause volume drops, whispering, or distortion. If the problem persists after trying the suggested solutions, it's best to consult the ElevenLabs team for further troubleshooting or guidance.
