Eleven v3: emotional text to speech with audio tags

Eleven v3 performs your text instead of just reading it: it whispers, laughs, sighs and changes mood exactly where you put a tag. Use it for dialogue, stories and scenes where emotion matters.

What Eleven v3 can do

v3 is the ElevenLabs version most tuned for emotion. A tag in square brackets changes the delivery right from where it stands: “[whispers] Quiet, he’s asleep” comes out as a whisper, [laughs] adds a laugh, [sighs] a sigh. That makes v3 great for dialogue, bedtime stories, audio drama and short skits for social videos.

  • Emotions with tags. [whispers], [laughs], [sighs], [excited], [sad], [angry], [sarcastic] from the “Audio tags” menu in the text box.
  • Lively dialogue. Lines with different moods in one text.
  • Delivery control. Lower Stability gives more acting, higher Stability a calmer read.
  • Fifteen voices. Hank the storyteller, upbeat Callum, husky Laura and more.

Need a steady read with no surprises? Use Eleven v4.
