About ElevenLabs
What is ElevenLabs?
An AI audio platform for realistic text-to-speech, voice cloning, dubbing, sound effects and music. It also provides a platform for building voice agents that hold phone or web conversations, with APIs for developers. ElevenLabs is a specialised AI tool in the Voice/Audio category that applies machine learning to automate, enhance, or augment tasks in this domain.
Clone a voice only with the speaker's documented consent, and never imitate a public figure or a real customer. A cloned voice that suggests someone endorses a product can be misleading under Australian Consumer Law. If you deploy voice agents for outbound sales calls, the Do Not Call Register Act 2006 and telemarketing standards apply, and callers should be told they are speaking with AI. Enterprise customers can choose data residency in a small number of regions, such as the EU and India, with the US as the default; check whether an option suits your Privacy Act 1988 obligations.

Data Residency & Privacy in Australia
ElevenLabs stores data in the US by default. Enterprise customers can choose isolated environments in the EU, India or Singapore, but Australia is not offered. Enterprise agreements can also include zero-retention modes for supported features. Voice clones and recordings are biometric data, so confirm retention and training terms with ElevenLabs and document consent from every voice owner.

Frequently Asked Questions About ElevenLabs
Does ElevenLabs offer data residency in Australia?
No. Its residency options for Enterprise customers are the EU, India and Singapore, alongside the default US environment. Singapore is the closest region for Australian organisations, but it is still an overseas disclosure under Australian Privacy Principle 8, so document it accordingly.
Can ElevenLabs pronounce Australian names and places?
It handles Australian English well in most cases, and the voice library includes Australian accents. Place names, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander words and brand names may need phonetic spelling or pronunciation dictionaries, so have a local listener review audio before publishing.
Is it legal to clone someone's voice?
With documented consent, cloning for legitimate purposes is generally lawful, but misuse can breach Australian Consumer Law, defamation law or privacy obligations. ElevenLabs requires verification for professional clones. Never clone public figures or customers, and tell callers when they are speaking with an AI voice agent.
