Use Your Own Cloned Voice So Your Solo Studio Sounds Personally Answered
Solo studio owners can connect their own ElevenLabs account to Voka and have their AI receptionist answer in a voice they cloned there, even when they’re busy.
Why Your Own Cloned Voice Matters for Solo Studios
Solo studio operators juggle every role—from service provider to scheduler. When the phone rings during a session, it’s tempting to let calls go to voicemail or a generic receptionist. But that risks sounding impersonal and losing potential bookings.
Voka lets you bring your own ElevenLabs account and use any voice in it, including one you cloned or designed there. Voka doesn’t clone voices itself: you create the clone in ElevenLabs, and your AI receptionist then answers calls in that voice, keeping calls personal even when you’re busy with a client.
Who Benefits?
- Solo studio owners who want to maintain a personal connection without answering every call themselves.
- Service providers in salons, fitness studios, or creative spaces where client relationships matter.
- Operators looking to automate booking while preserving brand voice authenticity.
How It Works: Your ElevenLabs Voice in Voka
Voka connects to your own ElevenLabs account. It needs your own ElevenLabs account and API key, and ElevenLabs bills you for it separately. Setup steps:
- Create your voice clone in your ElevenLabs account using ElevenLabs’ own tools.
- Add your ElevenLabs API key in your assistant’s voice settings in Voka.
- Pick your cloned voice for your AI receptionist. By default it runs on ElevenLabs’ low-latency Turbo v2.5 model, tuned for live phone calls.
- Test calls to verify the voice sounds natural and personal.
If you’d rather not use ElevenLabs, you can pick from built-in Telnyx, Azure and Minimax voices instead.
Before and After
Before, calls go to voicemail or a generic voice while you’re with a client, or you interrupt the session to answer. After, your AI receptionist answers in the voice you created, and you stay focused on the client in front of you.
Integration with Your Existing Tools
Your ElevenLabs voice works alongside Voka’s live booking integrations with Square Appointments, Acuity, Calendly, and Google Calendar, so callers can book in the same call. Call data can also flow into Zapier, Make or n8n by webhook.
With the SMS add-on, Voka can also text your booking link during the call once the caller agrees.
