Looking for the Eric Voice on ElevenLabs?

Eric has been a familiar ElevenLabs voice for a long time, usually listed as “Eric — Smooth, Trustworthy”. If you came here looking for that voice, here is the short version: the human behind it is Buster Cox, and he now has a new Professional Voice Clone on ElevenLabs called Buster.

What happened, in plain terms

• Eric was a longtime ElevenLabs voice known for a smooth, trustworthy, conversational delivery.
• Buster Cox is the original human voice talent whose recordings sit behind Eric.
• He has since created a new Professional Voice Clone under the name Buster.
• Buster is a different voice model with a different voice ID. It is not a renamed version of the old listing, and nothing here should be read as ElevenLabs officially designating Buster as a replacement for Eric. It is simply the current shared voice from the same voice talent.
• If what you liked about Eric was the delivery — the calm, credible, conversational register — that came from this person, and it is what Buster sounds like.

The two voice IDs, for identification

What Buster sounds like

Natural, conversational and American: professional without being stiff, confident without announcing. He is particularly effective on technology and information-heavy material, and he holds up across long narration and conversational AI, where fatigue and clarity decide everything.

If you were using Eric in a project

• Add Buster to your ElevenLabs workspace and generate a paragraph of your own script.
• Compare against your existing renders on the same passage, not on a demo line.
• Re-test settings rather than copying old ones — a different voice model responds differently.
• Confirm current licensing and model availability in ElevenLabs before publishing.
