#When I learned that Voice Remixing was finally coming out, I thought "Great!", but now that I need

Short answer: No. ElevenLabs Voice Changer (speech‑to‑speech) preserves the source performance—including its language and accent—and maps it into the selected voice. It does not replace the accent with the target voice’s accent. If you record with an American accent and pick a British voice, you’ll get that voice speaking with your American accent.

What you can do today
- Preserve performance, change the voice: Use Voice Changer. It retains timing/emotion and supports parameters like style, stability, and optional background‑noise removal. Max input is ~5 minutes per clip; billing is 1,000 credits per minute. (elevenlabs.io)
- Change accent (but not from an existing WAV): Generate from text using a voice that already has the desired accent (via Voice Library or a clone trained in that accent). Accent is determined by the voice itself. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Voice Remixing (alpha): Lets you modify a voice you own (e.g., switch its accent, style, pacing) and create a new variant for future generations. It’s a voice‑profile editing tool, not a speech‑to‑speech accent swap for a specific recorded performance. (elevenlabs.io)
- If your goal is translation while keeping delivery: use Dubbing to move between languages while preserving emotion/timing. It’s not intended for changing accents within the same language. (elevenlabs.io)
Bottom line: There isn’t a supported workflow that takes a single WAV performance and outputs the same performance in a different accent via another voice. To get a different accent, you must synthesize from text with a voice that carries that accent (or a remixed/cloned variant), rather than convert the accent from the recorded performance.

Is this approach in development and have other users expressed a desire for such a practical feature?
Short answer: There’s no public documentation confirming that “speech‑to‑speech accent replacement while preserving the original performance” is in development.
Details:
- Current behavior: Voice Changer intentionally preserves the accent and language from your input audio; selecting a different output voice does not override the input accent. Example from the product guide: if you pick a British voice but record with an American accent, the result is that voice speaking with an American accent. (elevenlabs.io)
- Related capability: Voice Remixing (alpha) can change attributes such as accent, but it remixes a voice you own for text‑to‑speech. The docs do not describe applying Remixing to an uploaded performance to keep its exact timing/intonation while swapping to a different accent. (elevenlabs.io)
User demand/roadmap:
- I can’t verify from ElevenLabs’ official help center or blog that this exact workflow is planned or that user demand has been formally acknowledged in public materials. If you’d like to register interest, submit feedback to support or join Discord for alpha announcements. (help.elevenlabs.io)

How can I submit feedback, suggestions or a bug report? – ElevenLabs
I had taken notes of names of voices I liked a certain while ago but somehow in Explore none of them can be found now, why?
