Regent × ElevenLabs — what it means for your reels

Big news: Regent has joined the ElevenLabs startup grant program.

Regent's voice engine is already one of the parts of the product we're proudest of — it clones your voice with natural, expressive delivery, gives you real control over the output, and works across 23 languages. This partnership is about taking something that already works well and making it even sharper: more accurate, faster, and even more natural.

Short and honest — here's what you get, and what to expect as we roll it out.

#What you get

  • Even more accurate cloning. The engine already captures your timbre and cadence; ElevenLabs pushes the accuracy further, so the voice sounds unmistakably like you.
  • Fast cloning and fast generation. A short sample is all it takes, and turning scripts into narration stays quick — so your reels ship fast.
  • Natural, expressive delivery. Real prosody and control over the read — the rises, falls, and emphasis that make a line sound genuinely spoken.
  • 23 languages. Clone once, speak across languages — expand your reach without re-recording anything.
  • Yours and private. Your cloned voice is locked to your account. Never shared, never sold, never used to voice anyone else.

#What to expect

Straight with you on timing: this is a rollout, not a finished announcement. We're bringing the upgraded voice pipeline online in stages over the next couple of months as Regent scales the beta. Parts of it are live for creators today; the rest lands over the coming weeks as we tune it. We'll keep updating as each piece ships.

#Thank you, ElevenLabs

When you're a small, focused team building something ambitious, the companies that back you early matter. Being part of the ElevenLabs startup grant program is a real part of how we keep pushing the voice engine forward while the beta stays free for creators.

So, genuinely: thank you to the ElevenLabs team. 🧡

Want to hear it? The voice engine has its own page, and the beta is open.

Frequently asked

How accurate is Regent's voice clone?

Very. Regent's voice engine is built for natural prosody and expressive control, and this partnership with ElevenLabs pushes that accuracy even further — the goal is a voice that keeps your timbre, cadence, and delivery so listeners hear you, not an approximation.

How much audio does Regent need?

Just a short sample. You don't need a studio session or long training — a brief clip is enough to build a clean, expressive clone.

When will this be in my account?

We're rolling it out over the next couple of months as Regent scales the beta. Parts are live for creators today; the rest lands over the coming weeks. We'll keep you posted.
