Child-like voices are not allowed on the platform due to legal, privacy, and security considerations. ElevenLabs prohibits the cloning of voices for individuals under the age of 18 and does not support the creation of child-like voices. This policy ensures compliance with their Terms of Service and Prohibited Use Policy, which require users to be at least 18 years old. Additionally, these measures are in place to address concerns related to the ethical use of voice cloning technology.

ElevenLabs does not support the creation of child-like voices due to compliance with legal and privacy considerations. However, adult voice actors, particularly women, can portray child characters, which might give the effect you're looking for. You can explore the Voice Library for available options that might suit your needs.

Creating child-like voices, including those of teenagers, is not supported on our platform due to legal and privacy considerations. Our Terms of Service require users to be at least 18 years old, and we do not allow the cloning of voices that resemble those of minors. While adult voice actors, particularly women, may portray child characters, direct creation or cloning of child-like voices is not possible. If you have further questions or need assistance with different voice options, feel free to ask.

But even if make them sound like children or teenagers, mostly Audacity, it sounds too artifical and chipmunky.

To create a voice that sounds more like a child or teenager without it sounding artificial or "chipmunky," you can try using an adult voice from the ElevenLabs library and then carefully adjust the pitch and tone using external audio editing software like Audacity. The key is to make subtle changes to avoid distortion.

You can experiment with pitch shifting, formant adjustments, and other audio effects to achieve a more natural result. It may take some trial and error to find the right balance, but this approach can help refine the voice to better suit your needs.

To create voices that sound younger, you can experiment with tools like ElevenLabs' Voice Settings, which allow adjustments to stability and similarity sliders. Lowering stability can introduce more variation, while increasing similarity can help refine the voice closer to your desired tone. Additionally, using external audio editing software like Audacity can help modify pitch and tone, though it may require careful adjustments to avoid unnatural or "chipmunky" effects.

For more natural results, consider using expressive and varied original samples when cloning voices. This ensures a broader emotional range and can help achieve a more realistic output. If external tools still feel artificial, experimenting with different settings or software might help refine the results further.

But with adult voices, they will not sound like teenagers. AT ALL.
