How can I add a new elevenlabs voice to make available in Vapi?
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 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 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.
