# Why does my voice or accent not sound correct after cloning?

ElevenLabs offers two cloning options:

- **Instant Voice Cloning:** Fast results from about 1–3 minutes of audio. Works well for most voices, but may struggle with uncommon accents or unique voices.
- **Professional Voice Cloning:** Higher fidelity, using 30 minutes to about 3 hours of audio. Fine-tuning usually takes 3–6 hours, and can take longer if many voices are queued.

If Instant Voice Cloning does not capture your voice or accent well, try Professional Voice Cloning.

You cannot change the accent or tone of a clone after it is created. To improve the result, change the audio samples you use. Small changes to the samples can make a large difference.
