ElevenLabs voice sounds rushed — no natural pauses between sentences in Vapi
Hi everyone,
I’m using an ElevenLabs voice with my Vapi assistant. The issue I’m running into is that the speech comes out rushed — it goes straight from one sentence to the next with almost no pause. Even when punctuation is there (periods, commas, ellipses), the delivery doesn’t respect it and sounds robotic.
On the ElevenLabs platform, the same voice has natural pacing with pauses, but inside Vapi it loses that and feels too tight. I’ve tried adjusting all the available voice settings, but the problem persists.
Has anyone else experienced this issue with ElevenLabs voices in Vapi? How did you solve it?
