title: How to create an Instant Voice Clone using Python SDK
icon: compact-disc
------------------

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the Smallest AI platform to create a voice by uploading an audio file. By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to clone your voice using our API.

You can access the source code for the Python SDK on our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/smallest-inc/smallest-python-sdk).

## Requirements

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

* Python (3.9 or higher) installed on your machine.
* An API key from the Smallest AI [platform](https://waves.smallest.ai?utm_source=documentation\&utm_medium=voice-cloning).

## Setup

### Install our SDK

```bash
pip install smallestai
```

Set your API key as an environment variable.

```bash
export SMALLEST_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY
```

## Add your Voice

The Smallest AI SDK allows you to clone your voice by uploading an audio file. This feature is available both synchronously and asynchronously, making it flexible for different use cases. Below are examples of how to use this functionality.

### Synchronously

<CodeGroup>
  ```python python 
  from smallestai.waves import WavesClient

  def main(): 
      client = WavesClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
      res = client.add_voice(display_name="My Voice", file_path="my_voice.wav")
      print(res)

  if __name__ == "__main__": 
      main()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Asynchronously

<CodeGroup>
  ```python python
  import asyncio
  from smallestai.waves import AsyncWavesClient

  async def main():
      client = AsyncWavesClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
      res = await client.add_voice(display_name="My Voice", file_path="my_voice.wav")
      print(res)

  if __name__ == "__main__":
      asyncio.run(main())
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Parameters

* `api_key`: Your API key (can be set via SMALLEST\_API\_KEY environment variable).
* `display_name`: Name of the voice to be created.
* `file_path`: Path to the audio file to be cloned.

These parameters are part of the add\_voice function. They can be set when calling the function as shown above.

## Get All Cloned Voices

Once you have cloned your voices, you can retrieve a list of all cloned voices associated with your account using the following code:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python python
  from smallestai.waves import WavesClient

  client = WavesClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
  print(f"Available Voices: {client.get_cloned_voices()}")
  ```
</CodeGroup>
