ElevenLabs is a solid choice for multi-voice narrative podcasts.
- Voice cloning: very natural and expressive; occasional artifacts on extreme prosody—clone and fine-tune each character.
- Editing UX: web editor + voice library are usable, but you’ll export clips and assemble in your DAW for precise timing.
- Latency/API: fast enough for batch production, not for live swapping.
- Cost: scalable; expect roughly $100–$300/month for weekly 1‑hour shows with six voices depending on quality tier.
