It adds identity verification — you read a short prompt aloud so Fish Audio can confirm the recordings are yours — then trains a model you can preview and release. Looking to make an original character voice instead? See [Voice Design](/overview/platform/create-voice/voice-design). ## Before you begin You must have permission to clone the voice — you own it, or have the speaker's consent. You confirm this before the voice is created. * **Sign in** at [fish.audio/app](https://fish.audio/app). * **A PVC slot.** Professional Voice Clone uses a limited number of slots tied to your plan; the hub shows how many you have used. * **Time.** Training alone takes 10–30 minutes, so set aside time for the full flow. ## Open Professional Voice Clone Go to [fish.audio/app/create-voice](https://fish.audio/app/create-voice) and choose **Professional Voice Clone**. You are asked to confirm — note that **a Professional Voice Clone job cannot be deleted once created**, so start one only when you are ready. Fish Audio then creates the clone and opens its workspace. (If you have used all your slots, you are sent to billing instead.) Confirmation dialog warning that a Professional Voice Clone job cannot be deleted once created ## Create the clone Under **Upload your audio files**, add recordings of the voice you are cloning. * **Formats:** MP3, WAV, FLAC (other common audio and video files are also accepted). * **Each clip:** less than 1 minute. * **Recommended:** 12–15 clips, each 45–60 seconds, with a consistent tone. * **Total:** at least 10 minutes; the timeline shows your progress toward the minimum (up to a 180-minute maximum). Each file shows its duration, size, and a status badge as it is checked. If a clip is rejected (for example, *"No usable speech detected…"*) or flagged for multiple speakers, delete and replace it. The Professional Voice Clone upload page with supported formats, the duration timeline, the uploaded clips, and the Start analyze button When you have at least 10 minutes of usable audio, click **Start analyze** (at the bottom of the upload page shown above). Fish Audio checks each clip's quality and language. In **Verify Voice Ownership**, choose the prompt **language**, click **Record**, and read the on-screen text aloud (keep it under about 30 seconds). Submit the recording — Fish Audio compares your voice to the uploaded clips. If verification fails, you will see a reason such as *"The words you read didn't match the prompt."* or *"Your voice didn't match the uploaded audio."* Try again in a quiet room, reading the prompt exactly. The Verify Voice Ownership step with a language selector, prompt text, and a Record button After verification, training starts. You will see **Preparing training materials…** Training typically takes 10 to 30 minutes, and Fish Audio emails you when it is done. The page updates itself, so you can leave and come back. The Professional Voice Clone training status showing 'Preparing training materials' with model details When training finishes, the **Preview** section offers ready-made samples — click play to listen. To test your own words, click **Custom preview text**, type a sentence, and click **Generate Preview**. *Screenshot: the preview samples and the custom preview input.* Click **Continue to Release** to open the release form. Enter a **Voice Name** (required), adjust the optional details and **Type** (Public, Unlisted, or Private), then tick the confirmation box (*"I confirm I have permission to create and share this voice model."*) and click **Create Voice**. Your professional voice is published and you land on its model page. *Screenshot: the release form with the confirmation box.* ## Resume a clone in progress Because PVC takes a while, the Create Voice hub lists your clones in progress below the method cards: * **Draft** → **Continue** — resume an unfinished clone (still uploading or awaiting verification). * **Awaiting Release** → **Release** — finish a trained clone that is ready to publish. * **Trained** → **View** — open a clone that is already done. * **Training in progress** — clones that are still verifying or training show a spinner and update automatically. * **Verification Failed** — verification did not pass; there is no further action here. See [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) below. ## Troubleshooting You are out of Professional Voice Clone slots. Upgrade your plan to get more slots. Usually background noise, no clear speech, or multiple speakers. Re-record in a quiet room with a single speaker and upload again. Read the prompt word for word in the selected language, in a quiet room, using the same voice as your uploaded clips. If verification cannot pass, the clone is marked **Verification Failed** on the Create Voice hub, the model is locked and cannot be deleted, and you will need to contact customer service for help. Editing your audio clears the current analysis results. All clips reset and must be analyzed again before you can continue — confirm when prompted.
