## Voice management

### Voice sharing

<Callout icon="📘" theme="info">
  ### Avatar and Voice sharing are only available on Synthesia's Enterprise plan.
</Callout>

<Callout icon="📌" theme="default">
  ### Note:

  Avatars and voices are shared individually. Sharing an avatar does not automatically share the corresponding voice.

  - Switch between sharing your voice with the entire workspace or with specific users
</Callout>

<Callout icon="📌" theme="default">
  ### Note:

  - If the option to share your voice with the entire workspace is grayed out, your workspace admin has likely disabled this functionality. Contact them for further instructions.
  - You can only share your voice within the workspace it exists it. If you need to share a voice with another workspace, contact Support ([support@synthesia.io](mailto:support@synthesia.io)) and provide them with:
    - The voice ID (via `Copy ID` in the options menu)

</Callout>

#### How to revoke access to your voice

<Callout icon="🚧" theme="warn">

</Callout>

### Permissions and notifications

* Voice owners can grant and revoke access at any time.
* If someone shares a voice with you, you’ll get:
  * An email notification.
  * An in-product notification.

### How to rename a voice

### How to delete a voice

<Callout icon="🚧" theme="warn">
  ### Deleting a voice will permanently delete it and all data associated with it. This action cannot be undone.

</Callout>

Use the 3-dot menu on a voice and select the `Delete` option to delete it. You will be prompted to confirm this action before the voice is deleted.

#### Shared voices

1. Go to the Voices page in your Synthesia account.
2. Find the voice you want to remove your access from.
