# ElevenLabs Moves v3 Out of Alpha with Emotion and Multi-Speaker Support

> ElevenLabs has moved its v3 text-to-speech model out of alpha and into general availability, and the headline additions are expressiveness and dialogue. The model responds to bracketed audio tags like laughs, whispers, and shouts, and can generate multi-speaker conversations in a single pass rather than stitching voices together afterward. Punctuation and inline direction now shape delivery, giving writers fine-grained control over how a line actually sounds. The target is high-stakes narration, the kind of work where synthetic voices have historically fallen short because they sound competent but emotionally flat. Adding laughter, whispers, and genuine shifts in tone is an attempt to cross that last stretch of the uncanny valley, where the difference between passable and convincing is everything. For audiobook producers, game studios, and anyone scripting dialogue, generating an entire multi-character scene from text with directed emotion is a meaningful jump in capability. It also sharpens the familiar questions about voice cloning and consent, because a model this expressive makes synthetic speech harder to distinguish from the real thing.
