Hi, I am using ElevenLabs in my voice configuration when setting up my voice assistant but when I use their style of tone hints (using brackets like [excited]) I don't get the result I want. The call just reads that text as if the brackets did not exist. What is the workaround? Is this a supported feature? @User

Hi Shayan, Great question! Bracket-style tone cues like \[excited\] or \[sad\] aren’t supported in ElevenLabs on Vapi — the assistant will read them as text. To control tone, you can use: - Voice parameters like

style

,

stability

, and

similarityBoost

- SSML (optional) — enable SSML parsing and use tags like

<prosody>

for pitch, rate, and volume control So yes, tone control is fully supported — it just needs to be set through voice settings or SSML rather than text cues in brackets.

Ah I see. So we won't be able to use the eleven_v3 model, right? I'll try to find a way to work with the voice parameters as you recommended

No, not eleven_v3 yet. Let us know!
