# Custom Voices

> Create a custom voice by cloning audio with Anam or importing a supported provider voice, then assign it to a persona.

## Import ElevenLabs voices

The import process depends on whether the voice is public or cloned.

### Public Voice Library voices

If a voice appears in the public ElevenLabs Voice Library, copy its Voice ID and import it directly in the [Anam Lab](https://lab.anam.ai).

### Cloned voices

Anam must import cloned voices and add them to your account before you can use them in Lab.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a share link in ElevenLabs">
    Open the cloned voice, select **Voice sharing**, and switch to the **External & Voice Library** tab. Enable **External link sharing** and copy the share link.

    For the most reliable import, set the link access to **Anyone with the link**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Send the share link to Anam Support">
    Email the share link to [support@anam.ai](mailto:support@anam.ai). Anam will import the voice, add it to your account, and confirm when it is available.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  Only the **Professional Voice Clone** voice type in ElevenLabs can be shared with external organisations.

## Import Cartesia voices

Any localized or cloned Cartesia voice must be public before Anam can import it.
