TL;DR

What did Bryan Guerra use ElevenLabs for?

A creator who makes software tutorials for courses and YouTube uses a professional voice clone in ElevenLabs so script changes can be typed and regenerated instead of re-recorded. They say they've been using the clone for a while and that for clear instructional videos and explainers "this quality is more than ready for production."

What they did

They recorded samples to build a professional voice clone, then generate narration in text-to-speech by picking their clone under My Voices. They keep stability and similarity around the middle for natural delivery and use emotion tags in brackets. When a script line changes, such as a sponsor's new discount code, they edit just that sentence and regenerate it rather than setting up the microphone again. They also show dubbing a finished video into other languages.

How it went

They say they've been using the clone for a while and that for clear instructional videos and explainers "this quality is more than ready for production."

Worth knowing

  • The clone is not always identical to a live read and loses some emotion. Only clone a voice you're legally authorized to use, never celebrities or clients without written permission.
  • Price check: ElevenLabs: free plan; Starter: US$6/month, or US$5/month on a yearly plan (US$60/year) (checked Nov 1, 2026).

Try it yourself

Paste this into a chatbot, then add your own details underneath.

Rewrite this tutorial voiceover script so it reads naturally out loud: short sentences, no parentheses, numbers written as spoken, and add [pause] where a viewer needs a second to follow the screen. Keep my wording where you can.
