Yes, the issue of voices randomly speeding up during playback can occur, especially with longer text generations. This is a known challenge and can be influenced by several factors. Here are some steps you can take to minimize or avoid this problem:

1. Break Text into Smaller Segments: Generating long sections of text at once can lead to speed inconsistencies. Try breaking your text into smaller chunks, ideally under 1000 characters, to maintain consistent pacing.

2. Use the Studio Feature: The Studio feature allows you to manage longer texts more effectively. You can regenerate specific sections where the issue occurs without redoing the entire project.

3. Check the Style Exaggeration Setting: If you are using the Style Exaggeration setting, set it to the default value of 0. Higher values can cause instability, including speed fluctuations.

4. Voice and Model Selection: Ensure you are using a stable voice model, such as Turbo V2 for English, which tends to provide more consistent results. If the issue persists, consider testing with different voices or models to see if the problem is voice-specific.

By following these steps, you should be able to reduce the occurrence of speed fluctuations. If the issue continues, you may want to provide more details about the voice, settings, and text used to help with further troubleshooting.

"Each of its 11 eyes had a different magical power: charm person, charm monster, sleep, telekinesis, petrification (“flesh to stone”), disintegration, fear, slow, cause serious wounds, death, and an anti-magic ray. In other words, even in its debut, the Beholder could charm your fighter, put your wizard to sleep, turn your cleric to stone, disintegrate the rogue, instill mind-numbing fear – or just outright kill with a death ray. Little wonder that Greyhawk noted a Beholder would usually attack on sight; only if faced with a particularly powerful party might it pause to negotiate (possibly accepting a bribe to spare the adventurers)."

In this paragraph it always reads "Each of its 11 eyes had a different magical power: charm person, charm monster, " super fact and the rest normal. In every regeneration

The issue you're experiencing, where certain portions of text are read at an unnaturally fast speed, can sometimes occur due to the complexity or formatting of the text. To address this, here are a few suggestions:

1. Break the Text into Shorter Sections: Splitting the paragraph into smaller chunks, ideally under 1,000 characters, can help maintain consistent speed and voice quality. This is especially useful for complex sentences or lists.

2. Regenerate Specific Sentences: Use the Projects feature in ElevenLabs Studio to regenerate only the problematic sentences or sections. This allows you to refine the output without redoing the entire script. Regenerating lines within the Projects studio does not consume credits, so you can experiment freely.

3. Simplify Formatting: If the text includes lists or punctuation-heavy sections (like the list of magical powers in your example), try reformatting it. For instance, you could break the list into separate sentences or use simpler punctuation.

4. Test with Different Voices or Settings: Occasionally, certain voices or speed settings may interact differently with specific text structures. You could try adjusting the voice or slightly tweaking the speed setting to see if it resolves the issue.

If the problem persists despite these adjustments, it may be worth reaching out to the ElevenLabs support team for further investigation.

When it's trying to read "Baldur’s Gate 2: Shadows of Amn" it cannot pronounce Amn right. Can I somehow put the pronounciation /ɔːm/ insead?
