# Voice Management

Use Voice tags to provide descriptive metadata about each voice, helping you categorize and filter voices based on their characteristics. Tags describe properties like gender, age group, tone, and style, making it easier to find the right voice for your use case.

## Understanding voice tags

Each voice includes a `tags` array with descriptive labels such as:

* **Gender**: `male`, `female`, `non-binary`
* **Age group**: `young_adult`, `adult`, `middle-aged`, `elderly`
* **Vocal style**: `energetic`, `calm`, `professional`, `friendly`, `warm`
* **Voice quality**: `smooth`, `clear`, `expressive`, `conversational`

## Adding voice tags

To add custom tags to voices, you'll use the voice cloning feature in the API playground:

### Step-by-step process

1. **Navigate to the API playground**
   * Go to the [TTS playground](https://platform.inworld.ai/tts-playground)
   * Select the "Clone Voice" option

2. **Configure voice parameters**
   * Enter a voice name and description for your cloned voice

3. **Add voice tags**
   * Press Enter after each tag entry to add it to the list
