Turn any manuscript into a multi-voice audiobook with a full cast in minutes. Create Your Audiobook → https://elevenlabs.io/creative?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=evergreen_tutorials&utm_content=turn_any_book_into_a_multi_voice_audiobook_in_minutes In this tutorial, we show you how to upload a book and turn it into a multi-cast audiobook inside ElevenCreative. Character casting reads your manuscript, works out who is speaking, and proposes a voice for each character. You can audition those voices on real dialogue from the book itself, so you decide whether a voice actually fits before you commit. We walk through the full flow start to finish: • Upload your manuscript as an EPUB or PDF, and how to convert other formats first • Choose single cast for one narrator or multi-cast to give each character their own voice, with the ElevenMultilingual v2 studio quality model • Review the formatting page: chapters, detected language, scene break length, and removing pages you do not want read out loud like the copyright page • Cast your characters, preview assigned voices, and swap in recommended voices, anything from the voice library of over 10,000 voices, your My Voices collection, or a prompted Voice Design voice • Set pronunciations for names, places, and invented words, and preview how each sounds in a real sentence • Edit inside the audiobook editor, see which lines belong to the narrator and each character, adjust delivery, and lock a paragraph so the export sounds exactly like your preview • Export the full project or a single chapter in your chosen audio format and file structure Whether you are self-publishing fiction with a full cast or narrating a single voice, this covers every step from upload to export.
