Clone and change your voice 🤖🎙️with Elevenlabs and Telegram

This workflow creates a voice AI assistant accessible via Telegram that leverages ElevenLabs* powerful voice synthesis technology. Users can either clone their own voice or transform their voice using pre-existing voice models, all through simple voice messages sent to a Telegram bot.

*ONLY FOR STARTER, CREATOR, PRO PLAN

This workflow allows users to:

1. Clone their voice by sending a voice message to a Telegram bot (creates a new voice profile on ElevenLabs)
2. Change their voice to a cloned voice and save the output to Google Drive

For Best Results

Important Considerations for Best Results:
For optimal voice cloning via Telegram voice messages:

1. Recording Quality & Environment

• Record in a quiet room with minimal echo and background noise
• Use a consistent microphone position (10-15cm from mouth)
• Ensure clear audio without distortion or clipping

2. Content Selection & Variety

• Send 1 voice messages totaling 5-10 minutes of speech
• Include diverse vocal sounds, tones, and natural speaking cadence
• Use complete sentences rather than isolated words

3. Audio Consistency

• Maintain consistent volume, tone, and distance from microphone
• Avoid interruptions, laughter, coughs, or background voices
• Speak naturally without artificial effects or filters

4. Technical Preparation

• Ensure Telegram isn't overly compressing audio (use HQ recording)
• Record all messages in the same session with same conditions
• Include both neutral speech and varied emotional expressions

How it works

1. Trigger
   The workflow starts with a Telegram trigger that listens for incoming messages (text, voice notes, or photos).

2. Authorization check
   A Code node checks whether the sender’s Telegram user ID matches your predefined ID. If not, the process stops.

3. Message routing
   A Switch node routes the message based on its type:

   • Text → Not processed further in this flow.
   • Voice message → Sent to the “Get audio” node to retrieve the audio file from Telegram.
   • Photo → Not processed further in this flow.

4. Two main options
   From the “Get audio” node, the workflow splits into two possible paths:

   • Option 1 – Clone voice
     The audio file is sent to ElevenLabs via an HTTP request to create a new cloned voice. The voice ID is returned and can be saved for later use.
   • Option 2 – Voice changer
     The audio is sent to ElevenLabs for speech-to-speech conversion using a pre-existing cloned voice (voice ID must be set in the node parameters). The resulting audio is saved to Google Drive.

5. Output

   • Cloned voice ID (for Option 1).
   • Converted audio file uploaded to Google Drive (for Option 2).

Set up steps

1. Telegram bot setup

   • Create a bot via BotFather and obtain the API token.
   • Set up the Telegram Trigger node with your bot credentials.

2. Authorization configuration

   • In the “Sanitaze” Code node, replace XXX with your Telegram user ID to restrict access.

3. ElevenLabs API setup

   • Get an API key from ElevenLabs.
   • Configure the HTTP Request nodes (“Create Cloned Voice” and “Generate cloned audio”) with:
     • API key in the Xi-Api-Key header.
     • Appropriate endpoint URLs (including voice ID for speech-to-speech).

4. Google Drive setup (for Option 2)

   • Set up Google Drive OAuth2 credentials in n8n.
   • Specify the target folder ID in the “Upload file” node.

5. Voice ID configuration

   • For voice cloning: The voice name can be customized in the “Create Cloned Voice” node.
   • For voice changing: Replace XXX in the “Generate cloned audio” node URL with your ElevenLabs voice ID.

6. Test the workflow

   • Activate the workflow.
   • Send a voice note from your authorized Telegram account to trigger cloning or voice conversion.
