MiniMax Voice Design

MiniMax Voice Design is the prompt-to-voice companion to Voice Cloning: instead of needing a reference recording, you describe the voice you want in natural language ('young female English speaker, slightly raspy, calm pacing') and the model synthesises a voice profile matching that description. Use when you need a custom-sounding voice but don't have rights-cleared reference audio. Pair with the standard TTS endpoint to drive the synthesised voice with any text.
