Voice agent speaking speed
# support
a
Is there a way to set/control the speed at which the voice agent speaks? I'm using 11 labs for my voice.

@Aark Yes, you can control the speed at which the voice agent speaks. In the case of using 11 Labs for your voice, you would typically adjust the speaking rate through the voice synthesis parameters. This is often done by setting a "speed" or "rate" parameter in the API call that generates the speech. If you need to adjust the speaking rate for your VAPI voice agent, you would look for a setting related to speech rate in the configuration options. If you're not sure where to find this setting or how to adjust it, please let me know, and I can assist you further.
You can continue this conversation by mentioning me in the message.

I'm using the console. Can you please guide me where I can set the speaking speed of the voice agent?
s
as of now you cannot control directly but you can try with the settings available.
a
What do you mean "try with the settings available"? that's not clear 😓

I suggest trying to play with voice settings tab to see if helps.

Voice settings tab doesn't have a speed setting for 11Labs. Is there another way of getting the speed adjusted?
a
From my experience this might come down to the specific voice that is being used. And haven't seen any settings available on elevenlabs end to adjust this.

damn that sucks

I can share one of my custom voices with you. She sounds pretty slow and relaxed.

use ssml parsing for the voice control and dont forget to enable it using api.
also do checkout 11labs prompting guide

That’d be great, thank you!
