#The ElevenLabs model isn’t pronouncing names correctly. Even when it does, the pronunciation lacks

Here are the supported ways to fix name pronunciation and make it consistent in ElevenLabs:

  • Force the exact pronunciation in your script

    • Use SSML <phoneme> tags with CMU ARPAbet or IPA on supported models (English v1, Flash v2, Turbo v2). CMU tends to be more predictable. Phoneme tags are English‑only and apply per word.
  • Make pronunciations reusable and project‑wide

    • Create a Pronunciation Dictionary (alias rules or phoneme rules) and attach it to your project in Studio, or create/manage it via API. Then pass it at synthesis time via pronunciation_dictionary_locators. Phoneme rules require English and the Flash v2/Turbo v2/English v1 models; alias rules work everywhere.
  • Reduce variation/instability between takes

    • Increase the Stability setting for the voice; this reduces randomness between generations. Keep Style Exaggeration at 0, as higher values can make the model less stable.
  • Make runs more repeatable

    • Provide a seed in the Create speech request; the system will make a best‑effort to return deterministic audio for the same inputs (not guaranteed).
  • Script and model hygiene

    • Proofread text; misspellings are read literally and often cause mispronunciations. Match accent by choosing or cloning a voice with the desired accent.
  • Pacing controls (can affect stability)

    • SSML <break> is supported (except on Eleven V3 which uses [pause] tags). Use breaks sparingly—excessive breaks can introduce instability.
  • Long text tip

    • For long passages, quality can degrade over time; split into shorter sections to keep output consistent.

If you want, tell me the exact names causing trouble and which model/voice you’re using; I can suggest phoneme strings or a minimal Pronunciation Dictionary rule set.

Here are the official example names and snippets from ElevenLabs docs:

  • CMU Arpabet SSML example (name): <phoneme alphabet="cmu-arpabet" ph="M AE1 D IH0 S AH0 N">Madison</phoneme>. This appears in the Pronunciation > Phoneme Tags section of Best practices. (elevenlabs.io)

  • Alias example for a surname (used in a pronunciation dictionary when phonemes aren’t available for your model/language):
    <lexeme>
    <grapheme>Claughton</grapheme>
    <alias>Cloffton</alias>
    </lexeme>
    Shown under Alias Tags on the same Best practices page. (elevenlabs.io)

Notes (from official docs):

  • SSML <phoneme> tags are supported on Eleven English v1, Eleven Flash v2, and Eleven Turbo v2. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • Phoneme tags are English-only and apply per word; multi‑word names require one phoneme tag per word. (elevenlabs.io)
  • CMU Arpabet tends to be more predictable/consistent than IPA in current models. (help.elevenlabs.io)

If you need more examples, the docs also show a pronunciation-dictionary phoneme for “apple” (AE P AH L), which you can adapt to SSML if you prefer inline tags. (elevenlabs.io)

how to make the elevenlabs model be stability for every run.
AS it sometimes give different tone.
I want the tone to similar
