## Vapi Voices V2

We've upgraded the text-to-speech model behind Vapi Voices. **Version 2** voices sound more realistic, human, and consistent — at a lower cost than the original model.

Version 2 is **opt-in per assistant**. Your existing assistants are unchanged: if you're already running a Vapi Voice in production, it keeps behaving exactly as it does today until you choose to upgrade.

To use V2, set `version: 2` on your voice configuration through the API or in the Dashboard:

```json
{
"voice": {
"provider": "vapi",
"voiceId": "Elliot",
"version": 2
}
}
```

## Voice availability update

We've updated Vapi Voices. Some legacy voices have been retired while others continue to be available. We've also added new ultra-realistic human voice clones — Emma, Nico, Sagar, Kai, Neil, Clara, and Godfrey, with more coming soon — which you can preview in the [Vapi Dashboard](https://dashboard.vapi.ai/).

These are separate from the replacement voices listed above — they won't be used as automatic fallbacks. But if you're updating your assistant as part of this migration, they're worth trying out. More voices are coming soon. You can preview them in the [**Vapi Dashboard**](https://dashboard.vapi.ai/).

### Version 2 voices

Most Vapi Voices now support an upgraded **version 2** model that sounds more realistic, human, and consistent — at a lower cost than the original model. Version 2 is opt-in per assistant by setting `version: 2` on your voice configuration, and existing assistants are unchanged until you upgrade. See [Vapi Voices V2](/providers/voice/vapi-voices#vapi-voices-v2) for the full list of supported voices and setup details.
