# What is the difference between Instant Voice Cloning and Professional Voice Cloning?

[Professional Voice Cloning](/guides/elevencreative-voices-voice-cloning-professional-voice-cloning), unlike [Instant Voice Cloning](/guides/elevencreative-voices-voice-cloning-instant-voice-cloning) which lets you quickly clone voices with less than 2 minutes of audio, allows you to train a more realistic model of your voice. This is achieved by training a dedicated model on a large set of voice data to produce a model that’s virtually indistinguishable from your original voice.

Since Professional Voice Clones require fine-tuning and training, it will take some time before you can use your voice clone. Giving an estimate is challenging as it depends on the number of people in the queue before you and a few other factors, but usually fine-tuning will take 3-6 hours.

You will receive an email notification once your Professional Voice Clone is ready.
