Slow down speech

How does one slow down the speech to make it sound more real? Our current agents talk so fast, its very obvious how fake it is.

@berz01 To slow down the speech of your voice agents, you can adjust the speech rate settings in your voice synthesis software. Most text-to-speech engines allow you to control the speed at which the voice speaks. You can look for a parameter often named
rate
,
speed
,
tempo
, or something similar, and set it to a lower value to slow down the speech. If you're using a specific API or software, I can provide more detailed instructions if you let me know which one it is. Would you like to share which voice synthesis tool or API you're currently using?
You can continue this conversation by mentioning me in the message.

I'm currently using Elevan Labs, a voice cloned voiceID ... not sure where to set that rate/speed/tempo as its not an adjustable field on the LLabs side. I see stability, similatiry, style exaggeration

@berz01 As of know there is no direct way to control the speed of voice but you can try out playing with existing options to create an effect by trial and error. For reference sharing an API schema of available options. Do let me know how it goes for you. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1336023375721791549/1336297099540561960/Screenshot_2025-02-04_at_4.57.22_PM.png?ex=67a34b27&is=67a1f9a7&hm=585106dbe74cf227034fa0ced9244faa470c34f2a9bb37b9d77baa8611f62307&
