🎙️Clone a Voice

Capture a custom speaker and reuse that voice across podcasts, shorts, and other AutoContent tools.

Before You Begin

  • Add your API key in Settings; the voice cloning page requires authentication.

  • Prepare a clean audio recording: at least 10 seconds, single speaker, minimal noise, MP3 or WAV, under 10 MB.

  • Decide whether the source lives at a public HTTPS URL or on your machine.

Step 1: Open the Voice Cloner

  1. In the sidebar, go to Tools -> Clone Voice (/tools/clone-voice).

  2. Confirm the banner shows your API key status before proceeding.

Step 2: Choose the Input Method

Use the toggle at the top of the form to switch between:

  • URL – Paste a direct HTTPS link to an MP3 or WAV file. The app validates the scheme and common extensions.

  • Upload File – Select a local audio file. The uploader blocks files above 10 MB and anything that is not audio/*.

Step 3: Provide Voice Details

Fill in the required fields:

Field
Required
Notes

Voice Name

Yes

Friendly label that appears in the voice pickers while creating episodes.

Audio Source

Yes

Either a public URL or uploaded file depending on the selected mode.

Use the "Recording Requirements" callout as a checklist: clear speech, single speaker, and natural pacing produce the best clone.

Step 4: Start the Clone Request

Select Clone Voice. The button locks while AutoContent submits the request and displays a success banner with the request_id once accepted. Typical processing time is 5-10 minutes.

Want to automate this outside the UI? Toggle Show API Request to expose the exact payload. Base requests look like:

# Clone from a hosted MP3 or WAV
curl -X POST "https://api.autocontentapi.com/content/CloneVoice" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "audioUrl": "https://cdn.example.com/voices/jordan-intro.mp3",
    "name": "Jordan Narrator"
  }'
# Clone from a local file
curl -X POST "https://api.autocontentapi.com/content/CloneVoice" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -F "audioFile=@/path/to/jordan-intro.wav" \
  -F "name=Jordan Narrator"

Responses include:

{
  "request_id": "voice-clone-1234abcd",
  "status": 0
}

Track progress on the Requests page (/requests). When the status reaches 100, the clone is ready for use.

Step 5: Use the New Voice in Podcasts

  • Open Podcasts -> Episodes -> New Episode and expand Optional Settings. The cloned voice appears in the voice selectors once processing completes.

  • Update existing templates or schedulers to swap in the new voice for future productions.

  • Visit the Voices page if you want to preview or rename the entry after it is created.
