Clone your voice turns on with one payment. Open Settings > Voice (or click Clone your voice at the top of Campaigns) and click Turn it on for $20. That’s a one-time payment with 500 voice note credits included (1 credit = 30 seconds, valid for 3 months from the payment). It turns on for your account as soon as the payment goes through: back from the checkout the page says Payment received: it turns on for your account in a moment. and then shows Clone your voice. Only owners and admins can pay.
{{contact.first_name}} and {{contact.company}}.
Only your own voice, with your consent. Never record or clone someone else.
1. Clone your voice (Settings > Voice)
1
Open Settings > Voice
Click Settings > Voice.
2
Record yourself
Click Record and speak naturally for 1 to 2 minutes (at least 30 seconds), somewhere quiet. For a text to read, open Not sure what to say? Read this and read it aloud. Click Stop, listen, then Use this recording (or Record again).
3
Agree and create
Tick This is my own voice and I agree to clone it., then click Create my voice. Kerux keeps who agreed and when.
- One voice per person in each workspace. To make a new one, click Delete my voice first.
- Delete my voice deletes it in Kerux and at the voice service. Voice notes in your voice then wait until you make a new one.
- Recording works in Chrome, Safari and Edge, on a computer or a phone.
2. Add a voice note in your voice to a Message step
1
Open the Message step
In your campaign, open a Message step. Under Voice note, pick In my voice (instead of Recorded).
2
Write what it says
In What the voice note says, write the text, with variables: for example
Hi {{contact.first_name}}, I saw {{contact.company}} is hiring. Worth a quick chat? About 900 characters fill a minute (the most LinkedIn allows).3
Listen before you launch
Click Listen as a contact: Kerux says the text for the campaign’s first contact, in your voice. Previews are free (up to 20 a day per workspace).
When the campaign runs
For each contact, right before the message goes, Kerux:- fills in the variables for that contact. If one is empty and has no fallback, the contact waits with the usual missing-data message: never a voice note with a blank. Fill in the contact (or set a fallback) and it goes on.
- speaks the text in the voice, once, and keeps the audio. If the message has to be tried again, the same audio is sent: never spoken or charged twice.
- sends it as a LinkedIn voice note, with the same safety as any message: at most once, checked when LinkedIn’s answer is unclear.
Voice note credits
Voice notes use their own credits, apart from AI credits and search credits:- 1 credit = 30 seconds of voice note. A note up to 30 seconds (about 450 characters) takes 1 credit; up to a minute (about 900 characters) takes 2. Credits are taken only when the note is made.
- If it can’t be made (the voice service fails), the credits come back and Kerux tries again later.
- Previews (Listen as a contact) are free.
- Credits expire 3 months after you buy them. Credits not used by then are lost and aren’t refunded. The oldest credits are used first.
- Buy them in Settings > Billing, card Voice notes (500 credits for US$20). The card shows your balance, how many credits expire next and when, and every movement, including credits that expired.
When something waits
Before you launch, the launch check warns when a sending account’s person has no cloned voice yet, and when the campaign may need more voice note credits than you have. Fix opens Settings > Voice or Billing.
In the API
GET /v1/voice (your voice and credits), GET /v1/voice/credits, and POST /v1/workflows/{id}/voice-preview (Listen as a contact). Cloning or deleting your voice is only done by you, signed in to Kerux (Settings > Voice): POST /v1/voice and DELETE /v1/voice answer 403 to an API key or an AI tool using one, so nobody can clone or remove a voice in your name from outside. A Message step carries the text as config.clonedVoice.text. See the API reference.
