The performance is often the easy part — any writer or director can read a line with exactly the emphasis and emotion the scene needs. The expensive part is getting that same delivery in the right voice: booking sessions for every character, re-recording for every script change, and waiting on availability while content deadlines don't wait at all.

Layer's Voice Changer separates the performance from the voice. Record speech in any voice — your own included — and convert it to a target voice while preserving the content, timing, and pacing of the original read. The direction, the beats, the comedic pause: all of it survives. Only the voice changes, which means one actor's read can become any character in your game.

## Key Capabilities

**Performance-Preserving Conversion**
The converted output keeps the original read's content, timing, and pacing intact. What you performed is what the character delivers — in their voice, not yours.

**One Actor, Full Cast**
A single performer can voice an entire scene. Record every character's lines in one session, then convert each read to its character — no scheduling a session per role.

**Works with Cloned Voices**
Convert into custom voices built with Layer's Voice Cloning, so converted dialogue matches your established characters exactly rather than approximately.

**Powered by Leading Models**
Layer's audio features are powered by leading models including ElevenLabs, inside a platform of 149+ AI models across image, video, 3D, and audio.

**Enterprise-Grade Protection**
Recordings stay yours. Customer data is never used to train foundation models, with SOC 2 Type II, SSO/SCIM, and role-based access for studio teams.

## How It Works

**Record the read**
Capture the line with the delivery you want — any voice, any mic, anywhere. The performance is what matters; the voice is about to change.

**Pick the target voice**
Choose the character voice the line belongs to, including custom voices you've cloned or designed on Layer.

**Convert and ship**
Layer converts the recording into the target voice with the original timing and pacing preserved. Review, iterate if needed, and drop it into your game.

## Built for Game Production

**Dialogue at Scale**
RPGs and narrative games carry thousands of lines across dozens of characters. Voice conversion lets a small team produce directed, performance-quality dialogue for the full cast.

**Live-Ops Speed**
When an event script lands a week before launch, record the lines in-house and convert them to established character voices the same day — no session booking in the critical path.

**Directed Performances**
Directors get exact control over delivery by performing the line themselves, instead of iterating through takes to describe the pacing they're hearing in their head.

**Placeholder to Final**
Scratch VO recorded during development converts into real character voices, so playtests and vertical slices sound shippable long before final casting decisions.

Trusted by 300+ game studios and entertainment brands including Zynga, SciPlay, Huuuge Games, and Machine Zone, Layer turns any good read into every character's voice.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What does the Voice Changer do?

It converts recorded speech into a target voice while preserving the content, timing, and pacing of the original read — the performance stays, the voice changes.

### How is this different from text-to-speech?

Text-to-speech generates delivery from text, while the Voice Changer starts from a real human performance. You keep the actor's emphasis, emotion, and rhythm and only swap the voice.

### Can one person record dialogue for multiple characters?

Yes — that's the core workflow. A writer or director records every line themselves, then converts each read into the appropriate character's voice.

### What voices can I convert speech into?

Convert into voices available on Layer, including custom voices you've created with Voice Cloning — so converted reads match your established characters exactly.

### Is my audio used to train foundation models?

No. Customer data is never used to train foundation models, and Layer is SOC 2 Type II certified with SSO/SCIM and role-based access.
