If by “extended” you mean a slower, more drawn‑out delivery with longer pauses, you have three supported options:
Slow the voice with the Speed setting.
UI: Available in Text to Speech (Speech Synthesis), Studio, and Agents. Range 0.7 (slower) to 1.2 (faster). Extreme values can reduce quality. (help.elevenlabs.io)
Insert natural pauses.
For all models except Eleven V3: use SSML breaks like <break time="1.5s" />, up to 3s per pause, in Speech Synthesis and the API. Avoid overusing breaks to prevent artifacts. (help.elevenlabs.io)
For Eleven V3: use audio tags such as [pause], [short pause], and [long pause] instead of SSML breaks. (help.elevenlabs.io)
Direct pacing with Eleven V3 audio tags.
Use tags like [slows down], [pause], or narrative tags to control rhythm and delivery. Effectiveness can vary by voice. (elevenlabs.io)
API note: You can also set speed programmatically via the voice settings (speeddouble, default 1.0). (elevenlabs.io)
If by “extended” you meant something else (e.g., making a clip longer without changing pace), tell me which product/model you’re using and your goal.
