Hi there, if I want the voice to speak | ElevenLabs | Page 1

Hello @merry blaze. The ElevenLabs AI voice models are primarily trained on audiobook content. Anything in the text the would cause an audiobook narrator to change how they are reading something will generally be reflected in the AI's performance.

So yes using a question mark will affect how a sentence is voiced by the AI. If you desire the strongest effect a lower stability may help. However, the default of 50% allows for a high level of expressiveness with most but not all voices. I'd guess in general like 80% of the voices on ElevenLabs are moderately expressive, very little if you max out stability but quite capable at lower stability values. Then like 10% of voices are rather monotone even at lower stabilities and the final 10% are particularly dynamic/expressive.

Each generation is random though and some generations, especially with higher stability might not say the question quite how you wanted. So play around with the voices and voice settings across multiple generations to get a good idea how everything works. But just be aware each generation, even when only testing, will consume characters from your monthly quota.
