# Voices & voice cloning

**Advanced** plan owners have the option to clone voices and make characters use it when sending a voice message or calling in Discord/on the dashboard. Servers with **Basic** plan have access to some default voice presets for voice messages.

Here is an example of a character with Donald Trump's cloned voice talking about AICord:

{% file src="/files/EnexRUVvDvdqNaTqrz3L" %}

This guide showcases how to clone a voice.

### 1. Step: Enable the voice messages feature

1. Go to the [AICord Dashboard](https://dashboard.aicordapp.com)
2. Edit one of your characters, then scroll down to Advanced section (you can also use the sidebar to navigate to it)
3. Under **Time and Memory** (Additional configurations), enable **"Voice messages"**

{% hint style="info" %}
With this feature enabled, the character will send voice messages randomly when people in your server chat with it.
{% endhint %}

### 2. Step: Clone a voice using a sample

#### Option A:

On the [AICord Dashboard](https://aicordapp.com/dashboard), select your character to edit then go to the <i class="fa-robot">:robot:</i> **Character Editor** > <i class="fa-waveform">:waveform:</i> **Voice** section. After uploading a voice, the clone will appear in the select menu among other voices.

#### Option B:

In your Discord server, use the `/character clonevoice` command, select the character you want to clone he voice for and add a voice sample wav file. Please note that it should have

Please note that it should have:

* a good quality recording of a person speaking, and
* it should be at least 6 seconds long for the best result. Uploading files that are much more than 6 seconds does not increase clone quality, but it increases the speech generation time (it will take the character long to respond)

Congratulations, you've cloned a voice and added it to your AI character!

{% hint style="warning" %}
As of now, cloned voices cannot be used for calling the character, but we'll soon make the dashboard calling feature support it as well.
