Earn Passive Income with 11 Labs: Voice Actor Payouts Explained

Hi everyone! I’m Andres from Wise Workflows AI, and welcome to another video. Today, we’re diving into an exciting passive income opportunity offered by 11 Labs through their new program, Voice Actor Payouts.

This program allows you to create a clone of your voice with just 30 minutes of recordings, share it with the 11 Labs user base, and earn every time someone uses your voice. We’ll take a deep dive into this opportunity, including realistic income expectations, step-by-step guidance, and tips to maximize your earnings.


Before we start, let’s check out an official introduction to this program from 11 Labs.

What Is Voice Actor Payouts?

According to 11 Labs, here’s how the program works:

  1. Create Your Voice Clone: Upload at least 30 minutes (up to 3 hours for better quality) of audio recordings. The AI generates a high-quality clone of your voice.
  2. Set Your Rates: Choose the default rate or customize it based on your preference.
  3. Earn While You Sleep: Get paid whenever someone uses your voice in projects such as narrations, podcasts, or storytelling.

Safety Features

11 Labs offers content moderation and automated filters to ensure your voice isn’t misused. You can also track usage and control access, giving you peace of mind.

Step-by-Step Guide to Getting Started

1. Create an 11 Labs Account

To access the Voice Actor Payouts program, you’ll need an account. If you don’t have one yet, click the link in the description to sign up.

Important Note: You need to subscribe to the Creator Tier (or higher) to upload your professional voice clone. This costs $11 for the first month and $22/month thereafter. Once your voice is uploaded and approved, you can downgrade to the Starter Tier if you prefer.

2. Upload Your Voice

  • Navigate to the Voices section.
  • Click Add Generative or Clone Voice and upload your audio recordings.
  • Your recordings should be at least 30 minutes long, but up to 3 hours is recommended for better quality.

After uploading, complete the required details:

  • Voice Name: A unique identifier for your voice.
  • Tags and Description: Use relevant keywords to make your voice easier to discover.

Once submitted, it usually takes about a day for 11 Labs to approve your voice.

Tips for Success

1. Target a Niche

When creating your voice, focus on a specific use case. For example, we uploaded a voice tailored for children’s book narration, as this niche has a demand for soft, melodic voices.

Specializing helps you stand out, especially since the market is saturated with generic voices. Think about your unique strengths and how your voice can serve a specific audience.

2. Optimize Tags and Descriptions

Your tags and description act as keywords within the 11 Labs library search engine. Choose them wisely:

  • Mention the language and accent (e.g., Latin American Spanish).
  • Specify the ideal use case (e.g., children’s stories, podcasts).
  • Highlight unique qualities (e.g., trained with native Spanish samples for authentic pronunciation).

How to Manage Voice Sharing and Earnings

Enable Financial Rewards

When setting up your voice, toggle on Financial Rewards to ensure you’re paid per use. The default rate is $0.03 per 1,000 characters generated, but you can set a custom rate of up to $0.20 per 1,000 characters.

If you’re just starting out, stick to the default rate to attract more users. Once you build a solid user base, you can increase your rate to maximize earnings.

Notice Period

You can set a notice period (e.g., 2 years). This means that even if you remove your voice from the library, users who previously added it can continue using it for the set duration. Longer notice periods can attract more users since it provides reliability.

Moderation Settings

11 Labs offers a light moderation filter to block inappropriate usage. While this adds a layer of security, it may slightly increase latency. If your voice targets safe niches (like children’s content), you might consider leaving this feature off.

Custom Voice Previews

Create a short sample of your voice (70–150 characters) to showcase its capabilities in the library. This is your opportunity to impress potential users, so make it relevant to your niche.

Earnings and Metrics

After 17 days of launching our voice, we’ve seen promising results:

  • Over 1,000 users have used our voice.
  • Earnings have reached $533 within the first three weeks.

Earnings depend on factors such as:

  • Your voice’s quality and uniqueness.
  • The niche you target.
  • Luck—if your voice gets featured or fits a high-demand use case.

Scaling Your Efforts

To increase your income potential, consider the following strategies:

  1. Upload More Voices
    Currently, 11 Labs allows one professional voice clone per account. However, you can create additional paid accounts and upload more voices, especially if they target different niches.

For example, if your first voice is suited for children’s books, your second voice could target characters for storytelling or audiobooks.

  1. Expand Within Your Niche
    Focus on voices that complement your existing niche. For instance, our first voice targets children’s narration. A second voice could specialize in educational content for kids, enhancing our overall offering.

Final Thoughts

The Voice Actor Payouts program by 11 Labs is a fantastic way to earn passive income by leveraging your unique voice. By targeting a specific niche, optimizing your tags and descriptions, and strategically managing your voice’s availability, you can build a sustainable income stream.
