No consent or speaker verification in the API.\n\n**VoiceStudio.** Local audio generation with HTTP and MCP access. Hardware and model licences vary by backend.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Fish Audio Voice Cloning API\n\n1. Send 2 or 3 clean single-speaker clips with matching `texts`, or the API runs ASR on them\n2. Pass the model `_id` as `reference_id` in TTS. Check `state` before relying on it\n3. For one-off voices send `references` inline to `/v1/tts` instead of creating a model\n4. Send the `model: voice-design-1` header on voice design calls\n5. Keep concurrency at 5 until prepaid spend passes $100, there's no documented retry guidance\n\n### VoiceStudio\n\n1. Keep the server on loopback unless network authentication has been verified.\n2. Use file outputs for large audio and restrict the output directory.\n3. Check the selected model licence before commercial voice use.\n\n## Tutorials\n\n- [Create a private voice model with Fish Audio](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tutorials/fish-audio-voice-cloning/), for Fish Audio Voice Cloning API\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Fish Audio Voice Cloning API or VoiceStudio?\n\nFish Audio Voice Cloning API scores 51.3 (D) on agent readiness against VoiceStudio's 46.2 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
