# Vapi Voices

Some legacy voices (Spencer, Neha, Harry, Cole, Paige, Hana, Lily, Kylie) were retired recently. If you were using any of these voices, please review the guide. [Learn more →](/providers/voice/vapi-voices/legacy-migration)

## What are Vapi Voices?

Vapi Voices is our carefully curated selection of high-quality voices designed to simplify your voice AI implementation. We offer a small handful of exceptional voices that you can immediately use in your applications.

## Why Choose Vapi Voices?

* **Simple**: Skip testing dozens of voices
* **Quality**: Each voice is vetted for natural sound
* **Ready to Use**: Pre-optimized for your applications
* **Consistent**: Reliable quality in all interactions

## Vapi Voices V2

We've upgraded the text-to-speech model behind Vapi Voices. **Version 2** voices sound more realistic, human, and consistent — at a lower cost than the original model.

Version 2 is **opt-in per assistant**. Your existing assistants are unchanged: if you're already running a Vapi Voice in production, it keeps behaving exactly as it does today until you choose to upgrade.

To use V2, set `version: 2` on your voice configuration through the API or in the Dashboard:

```json
{
  "voice": {
    "provider": "vapi",
    "voiceId": "Elliot",
    "version": 2
  }
}
```

## Active Voices

These voices are fully supported and recommended for new assistants. The voices below marked V2 support the upgraded version 2 model.
