Frequently Asked Questions
Does Sam ask before it generates a voiceover?
No. Generating a voiceover doesn't change anything in your account, so Sam goes ahead when you ask. It does use characters from your ElevenLabs plan, so ask Sam to check your usage first if you are close to your limit.
Can Sam use my cloned voice?
Yes, if the voice is already in your ElevenLabs account. Ask Sam to list your voices and pick it by name.
