Only your own voice, or with permission
Clone your own voice or a voice whose speaker has given explicit, informed permission. Having a recording is not the same as having consent.
Your voice, on every video
Record once. Narrate everything.
ChatGPT can’t clone your voice on its own: it only offers preset voices, and OpenAI’s Custom Voices API is limited to approved customers. Creative Claw is a ChatGPT app that clones your voice from a clean 1–2 minute recording with Cartesia (or ElevenLabs), saves it to a reusable Character, and uses it to narrate your videos. The cloned voice is multilingual: Cartesia speaks 43 languages, so one recording can narrate English, Spanish, Hebrew, Japanese, and more. Creating the clone costs no credits; a 15-second voiceover in your voice costs about 4 credits.
Start with 100 free credits. No card required.

Bring
A clean recording of your own voice and a script
Create
Voiceovers in your cloned voice, mixed over your video with captions
Finished example
This is Itay Dressler, Creative Claw’s founder, cloned from his own recording with Cartesia and saved as a reusable Character, used here with his permission. We took the Rootle explainer from our explainer guide, generated the narration in his cloned voice, and mixed it over the footage with captions timed from Cartesia’s word timings. The same Character can narrate the script in any of Cartesia’s 43 languages. His original recording is private and not published.
Voiceover script
“Plants can't tell you they're thirsty. Rootle can. Tuck it into the soil, and it tracks moisture and light all day. When a plant needs water, your phone knows first. Zero guesswork.”
| Step | Tool | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Clone the voice from a private recording (done once) | Cartesia via Creative Claw | 0 |
| 10.7-second voiceover in the cloned voice | Cartesia Sonic with the saved Character | 4 |
| Mix over the existing video and caption from word timings | Creative Claw + Cartesia word timings | 0 |
| Total for the finished example | 4 ($0.04) | |
Charged costs from this run on September 27, 2026, reusing the Rootle footage from the explainer guide. Creating a reusable clone costs no credits but requires a workspace that has made a credit purchase.
The workflow
Record 1–2 minutes of your own voice in a quiet room, speaking naturally in the language you narrate in most. Avoid music, echo, and other speakers.
Attach the recording in ChatGPT, ask Creative Claw to import it as a private voice sample, clone it with Cartesia, and confirm you have the right to clone the voice. The clone is saved to a Character you can reuse.
Ask for your script in your saved voice. Cartesia returns word timings with the audio, which makes captions easy. For another language, write the script in that language and generate it with the same Character.
Mix the voiceover over your video, keeping the clip’s own sound underneath, and add word-timed captions. Review pronunciation before publishing.

Before you render
Clone your own voice or a voice whose speaker has given explicit, informed permission. Having a recording is not the same as having consent.
Background noise, music, or a second speaker in the sample carry into the clone. Re-record rather than cleaning up a noisy sample.
Identity and pronunciation can shift between languages. Generate one short line in the new language before narrating a long script.
Check current pricing, read short answers in the help center, inspect the tool reference, or browse published media examples. Examples illustrate creative approaches; they are not proof that this exact starter prompt was run.
Practical answers
No. ChatGPT Voice lets you choose from a set of preset voices, and OpenAI’s Custom Voices API is limited to eligible customers through its sales team, with a consent recording. To clone your own voice inside ChatGPT, add an app such as Creative Claw, which creates the clone with Cartesia or ElevenLabs and uses it for your videos.
Creative Claw clones your voice with Cartesia or ElevenLabs from inside ChatGPT, saves it to a reusable Character, and narrates your videos with it, including captions. The example on this page is the founder’s own voice, cloned with Cartesia.
Creating the clone costs no credits once your workspace has made a credit purchase. Speech in your cloned voice costs 20 credits per 1,000 characters with Cartesia Sonic or ElevenLabs v4, about 4 credits ($0.04) for a 15-second voiceover.
One to two minutes of clean, natural speech in a quiet room is enough. Use your normal speaking pace and avoid music or other voices.
Yes. Your cloned voice is multilingual: write the script in the target language and generate it with the same Character. Cartesia Sonic supports 43 languages, including Spanish, French, German, Hebrew, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, and Chinese, and ElevenLabs v4 supports more than 90. Test a short line first, since accent and pronunciation can vary.
Creative Claw uses Cartesia or ElevenLabs for the clone itself, and adds the rest of the video workflow in the same ChatGPT app: generating footage, mixing the voiceover, and captions, on pay-as-you-go credits. If you only need audio and already pay for ElevenLabs, their own tools may be enough.
Only with the speaker’s explicit, informed permission and the rights to use the recording. Do not clone public figures or use a cloned voice to impersonate anyone.
Yes. The clone is saved to a Character. Ask for your Characters by name in ChatGPT, Claude, or Codex and narrate any new script with it.
Yes. Delete the Character that holds the voice, and Creative Claw removes the provider voice copies and the private source recording.
