Performance tags

Tags can direct laughter, whispering, emotional tone and other vocal behavior. The release distinguished this performance-focused model from the faster Turbo and Flash models, and warned that reliable results could require more prompt refinement.ElevenLabs: first Eleven v3 preview

Practical guidance. Keep direction text separate from the spoken script in your authoring process. Listen for unintended delivery changes when the same voice moves between narration and dialogue.ElevenLabs: first Eleven v3 preview
