Likely causes and fixes

• Your model may not support phoneme tags. Only Eleven English v1, Eleven Turbo v2, and Eleven Flash v2 honor SSML <phoneme>. Models like Multilingual v2 and Turbo v2.5 will silently ignore them. Switch to a supported model (e.g., model_id eleven_turbo_v2 / eleven_flash_v2 / eleven_monolingual_v1). (elevenlabs.io)

• Use the documented attribute and include stress marks. The docs show alphabet="cmu-arpabet" (or alphabet="ipa") and recommend CMU Arpabet with primary/secondary stress digits for multi‑syllable words. Example pattern:
  <phoneme alphabet="cmu-arpabet" ph="M AE1 D IH0 S AH0 N">Madison</phoneme>
  Apply the same pattern to Ariadyne with appropriate CMU phones and stress numbers. (elevenlabs.io)

• Phoneme tags work only per single word. Ensure only the target word is inside the tag (which you did), and keep other punctuation/words outside it. (elevenlabs.io)

If you must stay on a model that doesn’t support phonemes, use a pronunciation dictionary or alias rules (PLS) to force pronunciation; alias rules work across models, while phoneme rules in dictionaries are limited to Turbo v2 for agents. (elevenlabs.io)

Minimal corrected example (structure)
<speak>Thank you for calling <phoneme alphabet="cmu-arpabet" ph="...with stress digits...">Ariadyne</phoneme> Press.</speak>
Replace the ph="..." with the correct CMU Arpabet sequence (including stress digits). Docs recommend CMU for most consistent results. (elevenlabs.io, help.elevenlabs.io)

If you share which voice/model you’re using, I can point to the exact compatible option per the docs. (elevenlabs.io)

I've tried a few voices. This is the latest one I tried: Z3R5wn05IrDiVCyEkUrK

Thanks — the issue isn’t the voice, it’s the model. SSML phoneme tags are only parsed by these models: Eleven English v1, Eleven Turbo v2, and Eleven Flash v2. Other models will not apply the <phoneme> tag. If you don’t set model_id, the Text to Speech endpoints now default to eleven_multilingual_v2, which does not support phoneme tags — so the tag will appear to be ignored. (help.elevenlabs.io, elevenlabs.io)

What to do

• Set model_id explicitly to a supported model (e.g., eleven_turbo_v2, eleven_flash_v2, or eleven_monolingual_v1). Model IDs are listed in the docs. (help.elevenlabs.io)
• Use CMU Arpabet with alphabet="cmu-arpabet" (the documented value) or IPA. Phoneme tags work on single words, so wrap each word separately if needed. (elevenlabs.io)

Minimal example (replace voice_id with your Z3R5wn05IrDiVCyEkUrK):

• Endpoint and parameters are documented here. (elevenlabs.io)
  Text:
  Thank you for calling <phoneme alphabet="cmu-arpabet" ph="EH R IY AH D AY N">Ariadyne</phoneme> Press.
