Capabilities

What you can build with HeyGen Voice

HeyGen Voice is HeyGen's in-house voice model, built for video rather than for a phone menu. Record once, then have every line delivered in your own voice, with the pacing and expression the shot calls for.

One recording, your whole voice

Sixty seconds of speech from any phone is enough to learn your timbre, accent and phrasing. Instant voices are usually ready within seconds; professional voices train on 20+ minutes of the same speaker for the finer detail.

Add expression without losing your voice

Expressiveness Boost is a separate layer trained on what listeners prefer and scored against your recording the whole way. It adds emphasis, rhythm and inflection while staying unmistakably you, and zero returns the base model.

Automatically reads the scene

A vision encoder and two scene captions tell the model the room, the mic distance and the delivery the picture calls for. Across 50 environments, from cathedral to beach, reviewers judged its ambient fit ahead of ElevenLabs v4, Cartesia Sonic 3.6 and Seedance 2.5.

Voice Clone and Full Clone

Voice Clone fits delivery to the script; Full Clone preserves the session you recorded. A similarity scale from 1 to 4 moves between them, so the same voice can sound conversational in one shot and exactly like your recording in the next.

Use cases

How creators and brands use HeyGen Voice

Build a voice once, then put it in every video, lesson and product surface. The voice stays yours while the delivery changes with the shot.

E-learning and training

Narrate courses in the instructor's own voice without re-recording every update. Correct one line and regenerate only that line, so a module refresh takes minutes instead of a studio booking.

Marketing and ads

Voice a campaign in your own voice and test five reads of the same script. Scene-aware delivery keeps the energy right whether the shot is a studio close-up or a street interview.

Voice inside your product

Generate one completed WAV per request, or stream audio parts over SSE as they are generated, with optional word timestamps for captions. Set a seed to keep delivery consistent across renders.

Localization

Keep one voice across markets instead of hiring a narrator per language. The same clone reads Spanish, German, French or Chinese with a native accent, so a localized course still sounds like the same teacher.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about HeyGen Voice.

What is HeyGen Voice?

HeyGen Voice is HeyGen's in-house voice model, built for video rather than for a phone menu. It learns one speaker's voice, then speaks your text in that voice. You can make a voice in one of two modes, instant or professional, and both speak through the same endpoints.

How fast is an instant voice clone ready?

Instant voices are usually ready within seconds. One recording is used, and its first 3 minutes are used. Instant voices are not retrained: to change one, create a new voice.

Instant vs professional voice clone: which should I use?

Instant takes one recording and adds expressiveness_boost. Professional trains from 1 to 10 recordings of the same speaker, 20+ minutes in total, and supports seed, speed, pitch_shift, pitch_variance, and break pauses. Poll a professional voice until its status is ACTIVE.

Can I generate completed and streaming speech?

Yes. Generate one completed WAV, or stream audio parts as they are generated, from any ACTIVE voice.

How are voices billed?

Instant voices are free to create during the preview and count toward the workspace's voice clone allowance. Each professional voice uses one purchased voice clone slot, which includes five pooled trainings per monthly billing period, initial training included, and failed trainings are free.

Which languages does HeyGen Voice speak?

The same recording reads Spanish, German, French, Chinese and more with a native accent, so one clone can carry a course, a campaign or a product into new markets without a new narrator.

Can I use HeyGen Voice commercially?

Yes. Speech generated with HeyGen Voice can be used for commercial work, including ads, courses, product narration and client deliverables, under your HeyGen commercial license. Only clone voices you own or have permission to use.

How does the voice catalog differ from HeyGen Voice?

The voice catalog is a separate surface with 300+ stock voices and designed voices. Catalog voices speak through Third Party Speech, which also runs on the HeyGen Voice engine; your HeyGen Voice clone IDs speak through Text to Speech.

Whatever you want to make, you can make it now

Start creating with HeyGen Voice and the rest of HeyGen's AI studio. No shoots and no crew: record 60 seconds of your voice and put it to work in minutes.
