Convert AI clips to editable audio

AI-generated clips behave differently from organic recorded audio. You’ll need to convert them before you can apply fades, speed changes, or timeline edits.

To convert a clip:

  1. Hover over the AI voice clip in the timeline.
  2. Click the Convert to audio button that appears.

Once converted, the clip behaves like any standard audio file in Descript.

Adjust tone and style of your AI Speaker

Already created a custom AI Speaker but want a different delivery? You can now guide tone and style in two ways:

  • Create a new AI Speaker by recording a sample in the tone you want. The voice sample you provide determines how the model sounds.
  • Or, for non-legacy subscribers, use tags and inline prompts with the ElevenLabs v3 model to adjust delivery directly. Learn more about the v3 model
