Eleven V4

ElevenLabs' Eleven v4 gives creators more ways to direct how generated speech is performed. Its launch article describes natural-language delivery instructions and inline audio tags for emotion, accents and sound effects. This gives a narrator or character a specified delivery alongside the words being spoken.

The company also says the model uses a scene's context when generating dialogue and preserves speaker identity across lines and regenerated passages. Those capabilities target a practical production problem: changing a performance without losing the character's recognizable voice. The announcement makes v4 available through ElevenCreative, ElevenAgents and the API.
