Thanks so much for taking the time to share this, and for explaining how it’s affecting your video workflow. It’s completely understandable to feel stuck when you can’t find a voice that speaks Japanese naturally enough for the story you want to tell.
Japanese support in voice tools is especially important for maintaining nuance, emotion, and politeness levels, so not having a fluent-sounding option can significantly disrupt the experience. Your request to have proper Japanese speakers available in the ElevenLabs integration is very valid, and it helps highlight a real gap for creators working in Japanese.
This has been noted as a feature request, allowing the team to explore adding more natural, clearly labeled Japanese voices that are well-suited for video creation. While there is no immediate switch that can be flipped on today, feedback like yours is exactly what guides what gets improved next.
