Character voices are part of a game's identity — and one of the hardest things to keep consistent. Actors have limited availability, live-ops needs new lines every month, and localized or last-minute content often ships with a voice that's almost, but not quite, the character players know. Every mismatch chips away at the world you've built.

Layer's Voice Cloning trains a custom voice from audio samples, so new lines are generated in exactly the voice your character already has. Upload samples through Reference Sets and Layer builds a voice you can use across all content. No samples? Voice Design creates a voice from a written description instead — describe the character, get the voice.

## Key Capabilities

**Sample-Based Voice Cloning**
Train a custom voice from audio recordings via Reference Sets. The result captures the character of the source voice, ready to speak any new line you write.

**Voice Design from Description**
Create an original voice from words alone — "a gravelly, weary sea captain" or "a bright, fast-talking shopkeeper." Ideal for new characters with no recorded reference at all.

**Consistency Across All Content**
Once a voice exists on Layer, every generation uses it identically. Story dialogue, event barks, tutorials, and trailers all sound like the same character, forever.

**Powered by Leading Models**
Layer's audio features are powered by leading models including ElevenLabs, delivered inside a platform of 149+ AI models — one workspace for your whole audio pipeline.

**Enterprise-Grade Protection**
Your voice data stays yours. Customer data is never used to train foundation models, backed by SOC 2 Type II, SSO/SCIM, and role-based access.

## How It Works

**Gather your reference**
Collect audio samples of the target voice and add them to a Reference Set — or skip recordings entirely and write a Voice Design description.

**Train the voice**
Layer trains a custom voice from your samples or generates one from your description. The voice becomes a reusable asset in your workspace.

**Generate new lines**
Write dialogue and generate speech in the cloned voice whenever you need it — new quests, seasonal events, or full localization passes.

## Built for Game Production

**Character Dialogue**
Keep every hero, villain, and NPC sounding like themselves across a game's entire lifespan, from launch narrative to year-three content drops.

**Live-Ops Content**
Events ship on a calendar, not on an actor's schedule. Generate event dialogue, limited-time barks, and announcer lines in established voices the moment scripts are approved.

**Prototyping and Casting**
Use Voice Design to audition voice directions before casting, or fill a prototype with distinct, believable character voices so playtests land the way the final game will.

**Team Workflow**
Voices trained on Layer are shared workspace assets — narrative designers, audio leads, and producers all generate from the same voices under role-based access.

Trusted by 300+ game studios and entertainment brands including Zynga, SciPlay, Huuuge Games, and Machine Zone, Layer keeps your characters' voices as consistent as their art.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How do I create a cloned voice on Layer?

Upload audio samples of the voice you want through Reference Sets, and Layer trains a custom voice from them. The cloned voice is then available for generating new speech.

### What if I don't have voice samples to clone from?

Use Voice Design — describe the voice you want in writing (age, tone, accent, character) and Layer creates a new voice from the description, no recordings needed.

### Why does voice consistency matter for games?

Players notice when a character sounds different between the main story, an event, and a trailer. A cloned voice generates every new line in the same voice, keeping characters coherent across all content.

### What AI models power Layer's audio features?

Layer's audio features are powered by leading models including ElevenLabs, within a platform of 149+ AI models spanning image, video, 3D, and audio.

### Is my voice data 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 for enterprise teams.
