# List voices in a workspace

> Returns SYSTEM voices (visible to all workspaces) plus IVC voices owned by the calling workspace, with optional filtering, sorting, and pagination.

Calling with no parameters (no `filter`, `pageSize`, or `pageToken`) uses a legacy code path that returns the full list in a single response — existing clients continue to work without changes. The unpaginated path is capped at 2000 voices.

<Tip>
  **Short URL Path:** `/workspaces/{workspace}` is no longer required in the path for simplicity and clarity. When omitted, the workspace is derived from your API key. The previous URL with the full path `/voices/v1/workspaces/{workspace}/voices` would continue to be supported.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  **Want to hear how a voice sounds?** Use the [Get voice preview](/api-reference/voiceAPI/voiceservice/get-voice-preview) endpoint to listen to a short audio sample of any voice — free and unbilled.

      summary: Lists voices in a workspace
      description: >-
        Returns SYSTEM voices (visible to all workspaces) plus IVC voices owned
        by the calling workspace, with optional filtering, sorting, and
        pagination.


        Calling with no parameters (no `filter`, `pageSize`, or `pageToken`)
        uses a legacy code path that returns the full list in a single response
        — existing clients continue to work without changes. The unpaginated
        path is capped at 2000 voices.
      operationId: VoiceService_ListVoices
      parameters:
        - name: filter
          description: >-
            [AIP-160](https://google.aip.dev/160) filter expression. Combine
            conditions with `AND` / `OR` / `NOT`; values must be quoted.


            Filterable fields:


            | Field | Operators | Example |

            |---|---|---|

            | `source` | `=`, `!=` | `"SYSTEM"`, `"IVC"` |

            | `gender` | `=`, `!=` | `"male"`, `"female"`, `"neutral"` |

            | `age_group` | `=`, `!=` | `"young"`, `"middle_aged"`, `"elderly"`
            |

            | `lang_code` | `=`, `!=` | e.g. `"en-US"` |

            | `tags` | `:` (has) | any tag string |

            | `categories` | `:` (has) | `"companions"`, `"enterprise"`,
            `"education_training"`, `"developer_assistants"`, `"healthcare"`,
            `"interactive_media"` |


            **`lang_code` note:** the filter accepts BCP-47 (`en-US`),
            underscore form (`en_US`), or a language prefix (`en`). The response
            `langCode` field always uses upper-snake format (`EN_US`). This
            filter matches only the voice's primary language (`langCode`) — it
            does not consider the localized `promptLanguages`.


            **`source` note:** `"SYSTEM"` voices are Inworld built-ins visible
            to every workspace. `"IVC"` voices are clones or designed voices
            owned by your workspace only.


            Returns `400 INVALID_ARGUMENT` for unknown fields, operator/field
            mismatches, or malformed syntax.

            for new integrations.

        The `Status` type defines a logical error model that is suitable for

        different programming environments, including REST APIs and RPC APIs. It
        is

        used by [gRPC](https://github.com/grpc). Each `Status` message contains

        three pieces of data: error code, error message, and error details.

            A URL/resource name that uniquely identifies the type of the
            serialized

            protocol buffer message. This string must contain at least

            one "/" character. The last segment of the URL's path must represent

            the fully qualified name of the type (as in

            `path/google.protobuf.Duration`). The name should be in a canonical
            form

            (e.g., leading "." is not accepted).


            In practice, teams usually precompile into the binary all types that
            they

            expect it to use in the context of Any. However, for URLs which use
            the

            scheme `http`, `https`, or no scheme, one can optionally set up a
            type

            server that maps type URLs to message definitions as follows:


            * If no scheme is provided, `https` is assumed.

            * An HTTP GET on the URL must yield a [google.protobuf.Type][]
              value in binary format, or produce an error.
            * Applications are allowed to cache lookup results based on the
              URL, or have them precompiled into a binary to avoid any
              lookup. Therefore, binary compatibility needs to be preserved
              on changes to types. (Use versioned type names to manage
              breaking changes.)

            Note: this functionality is not currently available in the official

            protobuf release, and it is not used for type URLs beginning with

            type.googleapis.com. As of May 2023, there are no widely used type
            server

            implementations and no plans to implement one.


            Schemes other than `http`, `https` (or the empty scheme) might be

            used with implementation specific semantics.

        `Any` contains an arbitrary serialized protocol buffer message along
        with a

        URL that describes the type of the serialized message.


        Protobuf library provides support to pack/unpack Any values in the form

        of utility functions or additional generated methods of the Any type.


        Example 1: Pack and unpack a message in C++.

            Foo foo = ...;
            Any any;
            any.PackFrom(foo);
            ...
            if (any.UnpackTo(&foo)) {
              ...
            }

        Example 2: Pack and unpack a message in Java.

            Foo foo = ...;
            Any any = Any.pack(foo);
            ...
            if (any.is(Foo.class)) {
              foo = any.unpack(Foo.class);
            }
            // or ...
            if (any.isSameTypeAs(Foo.getDefaultInstance())) {
              foo = any.unpack(Foo.getDefaultInstance());
            }

         Example 3: Pack and unpack a message in Python.

            foo = Foo(...)
            any = Any()
            any.Pack(foo)
            ...
            if any.Is(Foo.DESCRIPTOR):
              any.Unpack(foo)
              ...

         Example 4: Pack and unpack a message in Go

             foo := &pb.Foo{...}
             any, err := anypb.New(foo)
             if err != nil {
               ...
             }
             ...
             foo := &pb.Foo{}
             if err := any.UnmarshalTo(foo); err != nil {
               ...
             }

        The pack methods provided by protobuf library will by default use

        'type.googleapis.com/full.type.name' as the type URL and the unpack

        methods only use the fully qualified type name after the last '/'

        in the type URL, for example "foo.bar.com/x/y.z" will yield type

        name "y.z".


        JSON

        ====

        The JSON representation of an `Any` value uses the regular

        representation of the deserialized, embedded message, with an

        additional field `@type` which contains the type URL. Example:

            package google.profile;
            message Person {
              string first_name = 1;
              string last_name = 2;
            }

            {
              "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.profile.Person",
              "firstName": <string>,
              "lastName": <string>
            }

        If the embedded message type is well-known and has a custom JSON

        representation, that representation will be embedded adding a field

        `value` which holds the custom JSON in addition to the `@type`

        field. Example (for message [google.protobuf.Duration][]):

            {
              "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.protobuf.Duration",
              "value": "1.212s"
            }
