Short answer: Yes—if you train a Professional Voice Clone (PVC) with samples that contain incorrect or non‑native pronunciations, the clone will tend to reproduce those characteristics. PVC “creates a near‑perfect clone of what it hears,” replicating the speaking style and even artifacts present in your training audio, so provide clean samples with the accent and pronunciations you want.

Details and tips:
PVC vs IVC: Instant Voice Cloning (IVC) does not fine‑tune a model; it approximates the voice from short samples and “won’t identically resemble the original upload.” It’s therefore less likely to mirror a one‑off mistake, but the accent/style of your samples still guides pronunciation.

To correct specific words, use a Pronunciation Dictionary or phoneme tags (supported for Turbo v2/Flash v2/English v1 as noted in the docs) in Studio or via API. (elevenlabs.io)
If the accent or tone isn’t what you want after cloning, the official guidance is to change the samples—there’s no post‑clone control for accent. (help.elevenlabs.io)
In general, the language is set by your text, while accent/pronunciation comes from the voice you clone; clone with the desired accent to give the model the right context. (help.elevenlabs.io)
