Try adding a fallback voice to your assistant's configuration to ensure calls continue if Sesame fails. Here's an example of how to set a fallback plan via the API:
Copy code
json
{
  "voice": {
    "provider": "sesame",
    "voiceId": "default",
    "fallbackPlan": {
      "voices": [
        { "provider": "azure", "voiceId": "andrew" }
      ]
    }
  }
}
Update your assistant with this configuration. If the Sesame voice still does not work, check your call logs for specific error codes or contact Vapi support with your call ID for further investigation.

Can you decrease the size of your firstMessage and give it a shot?

I changed it to less than 10 words but no response from botman
actually the regular voices work now, just not the cloned voice.
