1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Use the audio tag [dramatic tone]. It’s documented as a common tag for guiding long‑form narration in Eleven v3. (elevenlabs.io)
Optional add-ons for a documentary feel: [serious tone], [reflective], and pacing tags like [pause] or [slows down]. (elevenlabs.io)
Note: Audio tags are supported in Eleven v3 (Alpha); use model ID eleven_v3 when generating. (help.elevenlabs.io)

How do audio tags work with Eleven v3 (Alpha)? – ElevenLabs
Create a list with all the tags allowed in TTS V3 .
Short answer: there is no fixed, exhaustive whitelist for Eleven v3 (TTS v3). v3 uses open‑ended “audio tags” in square brackets; the docs explicitly state the list is non‑exhaustive. Below are tags explicitly shown in ElevenLabs’ official docs/blog (you can combine them as needed).
Delivery and emotion
- [whispers], [shouts]; [sarcastic], [curious], [excited], [sad], [angry], [happily], [crying], [mischievously]. (elevenlabs.io)
Human reactions
- [laughs], [laughs harder], [starts laughing], [wheezing], [sighs], [exhales], [clears throat], [snorts]. (elevenlabs.io)
Pausing and pacing (v3‑specific)
- [pause], [short pause], [long pause]; pacing cues such as [rushed], [drawn out]. Additional pacing/hesitation tags shown in blog: [breathes], [continues after a beat], [slows down], [deliberate], [rapid-fire], [stammers], [repeats], [timidly], [emphasized], [stress on next word], [understated]. (help.elevenlabs.io)
Sound effects
- [gunshot], [applause], [clapping], [explosion], [swallows], [gulps]. (elevenlabs.io)
Character, accent, and special
- [strong X accent] (pattern), [sings], [woo], [fart], [pirate voice], [American accent], [British accent], [Southern US accent]. (elevenlabs.io)
Important usage notes
- Format: inline, lowercase tags in square brackets (e.g., [whispers]). (elevenlabs.io)
- v3 does not support SSML <break>; instead use the v3 audio/pause tags above. (elevenlabs.io)
- The tag set is open‑ended; docs encourage experimenting beyond these examples. (elevenlabs.io)
If you need confirmation of a specific tag beyond the above examples, say which one and I’ll verify whether it’s shown in the official docs/blog.

Give me more tag for slow tempo pace
Here are v3 audio tags that slow delivery/tempo:
- [slowly] — slows the overall delivery. (elevenlabs.io)
- [drawn out] — elongates delivery for a slower, stretched feel. (elevenlabs.io)
- [pause], [short pause], [long pause] — inserts natural pauses (exclusive to v3; use these instead of SSML <break/>). (help.elevenlabs.io)
Optional: you can also reduce the voice speed (e.g., set speed below 1.0 down to 0.7) for an overall slower pace via settings/API. (elevenlabs.io)

i need more tags to create more dramatic, dynamic, rich and contemplative tone for documentary
Below are Eleven v3 (Alpha) audio tags from the official docs/blog that work well for a dramatic, dynamic, rich, and contemplative documentary delivery. Use lowercase tags in square brackets inline with your script.
Dramatic
- [dramatic tone], [serious tone], [awe], [emphasized], [hesitates]; pacing tags: [pause], [short pause], [long pause]; delivery shifts: [whispers], [shouts]; also used in docs: [dramatically]. (elevenlabs.io)
Dynamic
- [excited], [rushed], [emphasized], [surprised], [appalled]; delivery changes: [whispers], [shouts]; expressive reactions: [laughs], [starts laughing], [laughs harder], [wheezing], [snorts]. (elevenlabs.io)
Rich (varied color and nuance)
- Tone/POV shaping: [matter-of-fact], [sarcastic tone], [wistful], [lighthearted], [reflective]; texture/softness: [continues softly], plus emphasis control with [emphasized]. (elevenlabs.io)
Contemplative
- Reflective cadence: [reflective], [thoughtful], [slows down]; quiet/non‑verbal cues: [sighs], [inhales deeply], [exhales sharply]; pauses: [pause], [short pause], [long pause]; hushed delivery: [whispers]. (elevenlabs.io)
Implementation notes
- Eleven v3 interprets audio tags inline; effectiveness varies by voice and training data. Experiment and combine tags; keep prompts >250 characters for stability. (elevenlabs.io)
- V3 does not use SSML <break>; use the pause tags above instead. Other models use SSML <break time="x.xs"> up to 3s. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Tags are formatted as lowercase in square brackets (e.g., [whispers] … [sighs]). (elevenlabs.io)

David Frederick Attenborough is the voice as example, what kind of tags should I use in order to get that intonation, tonality, peace etc...
Short answer: pick a UK-accent voice, use Eleven v3 audio tags to control tone and pacing, and slow the speed slightly.
What to use
- Voice and model: choose a British-accent voice (Voice Library or Voice Design) and generate with model ID eleven_v3. Accent primarily comes from the voice itself. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Pace/pauses: in v3 use [pause], [short pause], [long pause] (SSML <break> isn’t supported by v3). You can also slow delivery with the speed setting (e.g., 0.8–0.9). (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Tone/intonation tags suited to Attenborough‑style narration: [whispers] for hushed delivery; [awe] and [dramatic tone] for wonder and gravitas; [curious] for inquisitive lines; [drawn out] to lengthen words; optionally steer accent with [British accent]. Effectiveness varies by voice. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- General guidance: v3 tags are inline in square brackets; tag responsiveness depends on the chosen voice; longer prompts are more consistent. (elevenlabs.io)
Example (drop into your script)
[British accent] [whispers] In the quiet of dusk, life holds its breath… [short pause] [awe] And then, with a [drawn out] gentle stir, the savannah awakens. [curious] What unseen forces guide this timeless rhythm? (help.elevenlabs.io)
Notes
- If you need stronger British delivery, start by selecting a UK voice rather than relying only on an accent tag. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Use v3 for audio tags; other models won’t recognize the v3‑specific pause tags. (help.elevenlabs.io)

im not create british accent but indonesia accent. how to deliver to david frederick attenborough?
Short answer: Use an Indonesian-native voice (or your own Indonesian PVC) for the accent, then steer the delivery toward a David Attenborough–style narration with Eleven v3’s audio tags and pacing controls. You can’t clone or impersonate David Attenborough’s real voice.
What to do
-
Pick an Indonesian voice
- Accent comes from the voice itself. Use a voice trained in Indonesian (Voice Library > filter by Language/Accent), or clone your own voice in Indonesian for best pronunciation. Default voices and Voice Design voices are English and may keep an English accent. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Indonesian is supported on Eleven v3, Multilingual v2, and Flash v2.5. Avoid English‑only models if you’re speaking Indonesian. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- On API, you can optionally set language_code (ISO 639‑1) to ensure proper normalization for short/ambiguous text. (help.elevenlabs.io)
-
Shape the “Attenborough‑like” delivery (not the voice)
- Use Eleven v3 (model_id=eleven_v3) and add audio tags in the script:
- Emotions/direction: [curious], [whispers] (also [shouts] when needed).
- Non‑verbal cues: [sighs], [clears throat], [laughs].
- Timing: [pause], [short pause], [long pause] for narrative cadence. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Slow the tempo with the Speed setting (e.g., < 1.0) in TTS/Studio/API. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Note: Eleven v3 is in public alpha and not for commercial/production use yet. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Use Eleven v3 (model_id=eleven_v3) and add audio tags in the script:
-
Compliance (important)
- You may not create a Professional Voice Clone of someone else (including public figures). Only the person themself can create a PVC and optionally share it with you. Don’t engage in deceptive impersonation. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- ElevenLabs also blocks certain “no‑go” political voices; general impersonation that could mislead/harm is prohibited. (help.elevenlabs.io)
If you want, describe the exact tone you’re after (e.g., “calm, contemplative, nature‑documentary narrator”) and I can draft a short Indonesian sample line annotated with the v3 tags for you.
