I'd like to clone my own voice and other's to use in Vapi, how can I do this without only using my Elevenlabs account?

To clarify your needs: Are you looking to use cloned voices in Vapi without requiring an ElevenLabs account at all, or do you want to use voices from other providers (like Sesame or a custom TTS) in addition to ElevenLabs? This will help me suggest the best approach for your use case.

I can help with that! The issue is that Vapi doesn’t natively support external voice cloning models besides ElevenLabs unless you connect a custom TTS API. Are you looking to integrate an open-source voice clone (like OpenVoice or XTTS) or a different paid provider?

Hi tandy, To set up a custom ElevenLabs voice with Vapi, you'll need an API subscription from ElevenLabs. Here’s a brief overview of the process: 1. **Subscribe to an API Plan**: Visit the [ElevenLabs pricing page](https://elevenlabs.io/pricing) and subscribe. 2. **Get Your API Key**: Go to the 'Profile + Keys' section on the ElevenLabs site to obtain your API key. 3. **Input API Key in Vapi**: Navigate to the [Vapi Provider Key section](https://dashboard.vapi.ai/keys) and add your ElevenLabs API key. 4. **Sync Voices**: Save the key, and your voice library will automatically sync. 5. **Use Your Voice**: After syncing, you can find your cloned voice in the "voices" tab in the assistants page and use it with your assistant. For detailed information, you can refer to the [ElevenLabs setup guide](https://docs.vapi.ai/customization/custom-voices/elevenlabs).
