How do I choose a voice on a text-to-speech model?
Select the TTS model in the Workspace and open the Voice dropdown in the parameters panel — ElevenLabs v3 offers 21 named voices with gender and accent shown, and the default is Bella (female, American); type the text in the prompt box and press Generate.
Where the text goes
Text-to-speech models have no picture prompt: the prompt box is the script. Write exactly what should be spoken; LUVI sends it as the model's text input. Aspect ratio and negative prompt are hidden because they do not apply.
Picking the voice
Below the prompt, the parameters panel shows a Voice dropdown. On ElevenLabs v3 it lists 21 voices by name with a gender icon and accent, for example Roger (male, American), Sarah (female, American), Charlie (male, Australian); the default is Bella (female, American). Behind each name LUVI sends the provider's own voice id, so what you hear is exactly the vendor's voice of that name.
Gemini TTS and MiniMax Speech expose their own voice lists in the same place; Grok Speech has a smaller set.
Price
Speech is billed on the length of the text:
| Model | Starting price |
|---|---|
| ElevenLabs v3 | 200 credits per 1,000 characters |
| Gemini 2.5 Flash TTS | 80 |
| Gemini 2.5 Pro TTS | 160 |
| Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS | 300 |
| MiniMax Speech | 96 |
| Grok Speech (xAI TTS) | 30 |
Billing is linear with no rounding to blocks, and the text is measured after trimming spaces. The estimate under the Generate button follows your script as you type.
After generating
The result is an audio file in your project with a player. Use it as the audio reference for a lip-sync model, download it, or send it to a teammate. Through the Claude connector, the audio plays inline in the chat.
Frequently asked
How much does speech cost?
ElevenLabs v3 starts at 200 credits per 1,000 characters and bills linearly, so 250 characters cost a quarter of that. Gemini 2.5 Flash TTS starts at 80, Grok Speech at 30.
Can I clone my own voice?
Not on LUVI today. Choose from the voices each model ships with.
Which languages work?
ElevenLabs v3 and Gemini TTS speak many languages from the text itself; write the text in the language you want spoken.
