Summary

Eleven v3 Audio Tags enhance AI speech by infusing it with emotional nuances such as tension, warmth, hesitation, and relief, making spoken content more relatable, dynamic, and human-like. This capability allows for context-aware performances where emotional context influences how a character reacts to situations, guiding the emotional state mid-delivery with bracketed cues like [sigh], [excited], or [tired]. These emotional tags help control pacing, tone, and atmosphere in narration, dialogue, and UI feedback, enabling creators to engage audiences without re-recording or rewriting. However, while Professional Voice Clones are not yet fully optimized for Eleven v3, Instant Voice Clones or designed voices are recommended for projects utilizing these features during the research preview stage.
