ElevenLabs said on 22 May that creators on its Voice Marketplace have earned more than $22 million, double the $11 million reported in November 2025, across more than 10,400 creators working in dozens of languages. Payment runs on usage under terms each creator sets, with consent and revocation controls attached, which replaces the one-time buyout that has been the standard shape of a synthetic voice deal. The company names professional voice actor Jessica Anne Bogart, the first to join under her real name, as earning more from the marketplace than from the previous five years of her acting career combined. ElevenLabs built its first voice model in Warsaw and raised its earliest money from Polish angel investors.
