Enterprise only, with no self-serve or trial access.\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### Murf Voice Cloning API\n\n1. Expect 403 until Murf enables cloning for the workspace\n2. Send a WAV, MP3 or FLAC at 24 kHz or above. A low sample rate is accepted and fails later\n3. Poll `GET /v1/speech/voice-clone-creation-status/{requestId}`, there are no webhooks\n4. Use clones only with Falcon 2 streaming. Gen2 or the non-streaming endpoint returns 400\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 an instant voice clone with Murf](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tutorials/murf-voice-cloning/), for Murf Voice Cloning API\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Murf Voice Cloning API or VoiceStudio?\n\nVoiceStudio and Murf Voice Cloning API score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 46.2 (D) and 46.1 (D).
