ElevenLabs V3
ElevenLabs V3 is the expressive ElevenLabs model, capable of multi voice dialogue in a single generation. Reach for it when a script has more than one speaker or needs real emotional range.
Added July 2026. Included on every plan.
Why this one
What makes ElevenLabs V3 different
- Multiple voices in one renderA two or three hander comes back as one coherent take rather than as separate clips to assemble.
- Wider emotional rangeIt leans further into emotion than the classic model, which suits drama and character work.
- The same large voice libraryHundreds of voices to cast from, so a scene is cast rather than settled for.
- Per character pricingCost follows script length, so a scene is easy to budget.
- Good scene timingTurn taking between speakers lands with realistic gaps.
- MultilingualThe expressive model carries across languages too.

Technique
Prompt tips
- Write it as a scriptSpeaker labels and lines. The model is built for dialogue, so give it dialogue shaped input.
- Direct emotion in the line, not around itWord choice and punctuation carry more than a stage direction will.
- Cast deliberatelyTwo voices that contrast in pitch and pace read as two people; two similar voices read as one confused one.
- Keep scenes shortRender a scene at a time so a single bad line does not cost you the whole take.
- Use ellipses and dashes sparinglyHeavy punctuation produces heavy pauses. A comma is usually enough.
Mechanism
How ElevenLabs V3 works
You supply a script, optionally with more than one speaker, and the model renders the whole exchange in one pass so that timing and reactions between voices are generated together rather than edited together. Billing is per thousand characters of script, so a longer scene costs proportionally more.
