Can you elaborate on this? Are these the ElevenLab v3 emotions?

Quick question. I’m using RetellAI’s optimised voices and they’re fantastic. The one issue I’ve run into is that when they speak Dutch, they carry a noticeable English accent, which my customers aren’t keen on. Are there any plans to add native Dutch voices to avoid this?

Do you have an article to explain what is does?

Have you tried cloning a voice there for Dutch specifically. Wonder if that works well for you.

Would love for this to be rolled out to 11Labs V3 voices

I’m not familiar with that setting, but a few weeks ago, I was using an 11labs v3 voice with 11labs audio tags, and it was working.
It sounded much better with the audio tags; however, latency was a killer, though, so we disabled it.

Intersting… so you can use the exact 11labs audio tags within the prompt and the agent will recognize?

Tried it and I like how it is easy to build it.
