Voice actors deserve better
Other AI voice platforms keep almost all the money. Worder gives it back to the people who make the voices possible.
of what buyers pay for AI speech reaches voice actors on other platforms
ElevenLabs charges buyers $0.06–$0.30 per 1,000 characters depending on plan and model [1], but pays voice actors a default of just $0.03 per 1,000 characters [2]. That means voice actors receive between 12% and 50% of what the buyer actually pays — the rest goes to ElevenLabs and its venture capital investors.
Voice actors need to subscribe to the Creator plan ($22/month) to create a professional voice clone [3]. They can downgrade after, but only earn when paid-tier users use their voice — free-tier usage generates no revenue [4].
ElevenLabs is valued at $11B [5], funded by venture capitalists who profit from voices they didn't create. Out of $330M in annual revenue [6], only ~$5M total has been paid out to voice actors [7].
goes to voice actors on Worder
Voice actors set their own prices and keep over 90% of every sale. The remainder covers credit card processing fees (Stripe), AI generation costs, hosting fees, and a small 2% platform fee for Worder. No subscription required — listing your voice is completely free.
Worder doesn't report to venture capitalists. It's a bootstrapped platform founded by artists, for artists.
We believe the people who create the voices should be the ones who profit from them — not investors.
Built by the person who made voice acting global
Worder was founded by Tania Zapata, the creator of Voice123 and Bunny Studio — platforms that opened the voice-over industry to talent worldwide, making it meritocratic and globally accessible.
Now she's building Worder to ensure that in the age of AI, the voice acting profession remains fair-trade. While big AI labs and venture-backed startups profit from voices they didn't create, Worder puts 90%+ of the revenue back in the hands of the people who make the magic happen.

Frequently Asked Questions
What AI technology powers the voice cloning?+
Worder uses Qwen3-TTS, a state-of-the-art text-to-speech model developed by Alibaba's Qwen team. It can clone a voice from just a few seconds of audio and generate natural-sounding speech in multiple languages. The model runs on secure cloud infrastructure and produces high-quality audio output in real time.
Are voice samples used to train AI models?+
No. Voice samples uploaded to Worder are used exclusively for voice cloning — generating speech that sounds like the voice actor when a buyer requests it. Your voice data is never used to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI models. It is stored securely and used only for the purpose you intended: generating speech on demand for paying customers.
How is revenue split between Worder and voice actors?+
Voice actors keep over 90% of every transaction. Whatever they don't keep goes to cover credit card processing fees (set by Stripe), AI generation fees (the compute cost of running the voice cloning model), hosting fees (storage and bandwidth for audio files), and a small 2% platform fee for Worder. All costs are transparently itemized.
Do voice actors keep 90%+ of their fees?+
Yes. Voice actors keep over 90% of every sale. Whatever they don't keep covers credit card processing fees (typically 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction, charged by Stripe), AI generation fees (the compute cost of each voice cloning request), hosting fees (storage and delivery of audio files), and a small 2% platform fee for Worder. These costs are transparently itemized so you always know exactly where your money goes.
