@Vapi @User

@Chiriac_Alex I'm here to assist you! If you're experiencing issues with spontaneous changes in emotion and tonality in the ElevenLabs voice, there are a few things you can try: 1. **Voice Tuning**: Adjust the settings for the voice to better control the emotional output and tonality. This might involve tweaking parameters like pitch, speed, and intonation. 2. **Script Annotations**: Use annotations in your script to guide the voice's emotional tone at specific points. This can help maintain consistency throughout the speech. 3. **Feedback to ElevenLabs**: If the issue persists, consider providing feedback to ElevenLabs. They may offer solutions or updates to improve the voice consistency. If you need further assistance with VAPI or have specific questions about implementing these solutions, please let me know!
c
I already tried the first and second one
v
@Chiriac_Alex I understand that you've already tried adjusting the voice settings and using script annotations. Since those steps haven't resolved the issue, the next best step would be to provide feedback directly to ElevenLabs. They may have additional insights or updates that can help address the spontaneous changes in emotion and tonality. If you're using VAPI and need assistance with integrating ElevenLabs or any other specific features, please let me know how I can assist you further!

Can you give me examples in annotations in my script?
v
@Chiriac_Alex Certainly! Annotations in your script can help control the emotion and tonality of the voice. Here are a few examples of how you might annotate your script for a voice API like ElevenLabs: 1. **Emphasis**: To emphasize a word or phrase, you might use tags like
<emph>
around the text.
Copy code
I couldn't believe what I was <emph>hearing</emph>.
2. **Pitch**: To adjust the pitch, you might use tags like
<pitch>
with attributes to specify the level.
Copy code
She spoke in a <pitch level="high">high-pitched</pitch> voice.
3. **Speed**: To change the speaking rate, you might use
<prosody>
tags with a
rate
attribute.
Copy code
He spoke <prosody rate="slow">more slowly</prosody> to emphasize his point.
4. **Pause**: To insert a pause, you might use the
<break>
tag with a
time
attribute.
Copy code
Please wait<break time="500ms"/>. I will be right back.
5. **Volume**: To adjust the volume, you might use
<prosody>
tags with a
volume
attribute.
Copy code
She whispered, <prosody volume="soft">"Be very quiet."</prosody>
6. **Mood**: If the API supports mood annotations, you might specify the desired mood for a sentence.
Copy code
<mood value="happy">It's a wonderful day!</mood>
Please note that the exact syntax for annotations can vary depending on the voice API you're using. You should consult the documentation for ElevenLabs or your specific voice API to ensure you're using the correct format for annotations. If you need help with VAPI-specific annotations or functions, feel free to ask!

Hey @Chiriac_Alex To help track down this issue, could you share: - The call ID - When exactly this happened (the timestamp) - What response you expected to get - What response you actually got instead This would really help me figure out what went wrong!
c
call id 6a047c8f-7b44-48c1-8e13-a232aa3d16d6 0:23 ,I wanted the voice to talk normal,he changed the tonality for nothing @Shubham Bajaj
s
@Chiriac_Alex can you try once more by setting the voice properties to the following, and then let me know how it goes??
Copy code
stability to 0.5
optimizeStreamingLatency to 3 
similarityBoost to 0.7
c
and the style?
s
style property is used to set the voice speed so left upto you, if you know
0
is correct then keep using it else I suggest use default speed for it, by not setting it.
c
Still the voice is changing when it talks
and the style doesnt change big things in speed
s
call id please.
c
4c04e6a7-fe3c-4da6-929f-c8b79b291920
it changes after the first message
@Shubham Bajaj
s
Which tone is correct here the first message one or after the first message?
c
the one after
s
@Chiriac_Alex I checked with the team, and it looks like your first message is cached, which is why you’re getting a cached response and a different voice. Try using a different first message and see if that works. After a few calls, you can go back to using the same message. FYI: This cache isn’t managed by voice provider, so we can’t do anything about it.
