Free cheat sheet · PDF · 2-minute read
Clone Any Voice in 2 Minutes
The only settings order that matters — model first, voice second, settings last — plus the starting points we use on every narration: Stability 50%, Similarity 75%. Add the script-prep fixes that prevent 90% of misreads, and you’re done.
From the Ear Tested crew — we blind-test every AI voice on YouTube, so you hear the truth, not the marketing.
A peek inside the cheat sheet
The starting-point table — no guessing, no 40-minute setup:
| Setting | Start here | Turn it when… |
|---|---|---|
| Stability | 50% | Wobbles or drifts → 60–75%. Flat or robotic → 35–45%. |
| Similarity | 75% | Doesn’t match the sample → raise. Artifacts or harshness → lower. |
| Style exaggeration | 0% | Over-acted → keep 0. Too flat → try 20–40%. |
| Speaker boost | On | Lacks presence → on. Sounds processed → off, then re-tune stability. |
Stop tuning sliders at random
Most creators burn a month of credits tweaking settings on the wrong voice. This one-page sheet gives you the order that matters, the starting points that work, and the fixes that stop misreads before they happen — read it once, keep it open while you generate.
- 2-minute read — one page of starting points, not a 21-page course.
- Adjust one thing at a time — regenerate the same 2–3 sentences and compare, so every change teaches you something.
- Credit math included — so the regeneration budget is a number, not a feeling.
What’s inside
- The only settings order that matters — model first, voice second, settings last. Tuning sliders to rescue the wrong voice is how creators burn a month of credits.
- Stability vs. clarity, decoded — what the sliders actually do, starting at Stability 50% / Similarity 75%, and exactly when to turn each one up or down.
- Pick a voice in 10 minutes — the 3-sentence test on your own script that kills bad voices before they cost you a full video.
- Script prep that prevents 90% of misreads — write numbers and acronyms the way they’re spoken, spell out symbols, and let punctuation direct the pauses.
- Regeneration budgeting — the 1,000-characters ≈ 1,000-credits math, the +25% margin, and why you generate in sections, not one giant block.
- The license line you can’t cross — the free plan is non-commercial, and Starter ($6/month) is the move the week anything earns money.

FAQ
Is it really free?
Yes. No catch, no credit card. One cheat sheet, delivered instantly on the next page, plus occasional plain-text emails about new AI voice blind tests. Unsubscribe anytime.
I already have the 21-page guide — why grab this?
The guide teaches creator workflows; the cheat sheet is the one page you keep open while generating narration. Exact settings order, the starting points (Stability 50%, Similarity 75%), the 10-minute voice test, and the credit math — different job, same inbox.
Do I need ElevenLabs?
The starting points, sliders, and model names come from ElevenLabs’ narration workflow, but the settings order, script prep, and regeneration budgeting apply to any AI voice tool. And the license section tells you exactly where the free plan’s non-commercial line is, whichever tool you use.
Is this just an ad for a voice tool?
No. The cheat sheet is honest about limits — it says the free plan is non-commercial and tells you when it’s time to pay for Starter instead. It’s free because we want you on the email list, not because it’s selling you something inside the PDF.
