Voice Changer (voice conversion) can carry over non‑speech elements like laughs, sighs, whispers and subtle emotional cues from your input recording. It preserves the performance (timing/pacing, tone, emotion) of the source audio in the converted voice. To change pace or emotion with VC, you change the way you perform in the input. (elevenlabs.io)
-
If you want to vary pace or emotion without re‑recording, use Text‑to‑Speech instead of VC:
- Eleven v3 supports inline audio tags (e.g., [laughs], [whispers], [sad], [pauses], [rushed]) to control emotion, delivery, and even pacing cues at the script level. (elevenlabs.io)
- You can also adjust overall playback speed with the Speed setting in TTS (UI and API). (elevenlabs.io)
So: VC reproduces what you perform (including laughs), while TTS (especially v3) lets you programmatically vary pace and emotion. (elevenlabs.io)

can eleven labs alpha add only voice elements like laughing or can also vary the pace or emotion of a sentence
Yes—Eleven v3 (Alpha) can do both.
- Add non‑verbal elements via audio tags, e.g., [laughs], [sighs], [whispers], as well as emotion tags like [sad], [angry], [happily]. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Vary pacing:
- Adjust the “speed” setting (0.7–1.2) in TTS (UI and API). (elevenlabs.io)
- Insert pauses with <break time="x.xs" />; audio tags can also influence pauses and pacing. (elevenlabs.io)
Notes:
- Audio‑tag behavior is voice/context dependent; not every tag will work the same across voices. (elevenlabs.io)
- If tags are spoken aloud, remove the guidance text in post. (elevenlabs.io)
For an overview of v3 (Alpha) capabilities and examples, see the official v3 pages. (elevenlabs.io)
