$22M earned by voice creators, doubling in 6 months

The ElevenLabs Voice Marketplace has revolutionized the economics of voice IP by allowing creators to earn ongoing income from their voice recordings, which can be used across various industries such as radio, audiobooks, gaming, and marketing. This platform, which has grown from $11 million in earnings in November 2025 to over $22 million six months later, enables voice creators to set their own licensing terms, manage usage, and retain control over their voice assets. The marketplace features a diverse catalog of voices in multiple languages and accents, providing an accessible and cost-effective solution for content creators worldwide. Notable stories include Brad Barlow, a radio host who successfully expanded his career through the platform, Jessica Anne Bogart, a voice actor who found new opportunities without traditional gatekeepers, and Simon Patrick, who used the platform to produce audiobooks, improving accessibility for dyslexic and partially sighted readers. The marketplace's success has prompted ElevenLabs to expand the model to music, with a focus on enhancing the infrastructure for voice creators through improved discovery, analytics, and consent tools.
