# Delete an Audio Voice

`DELETE /v3/models/audio/voices/{voice_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.heygen.com`
- URL: `https://api.heygen.com/v3/models/audio/voices/{voice_id}`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in header `x-api-key`
  - HTTP bearer

Deletes the caller-owned model-backed audio voice. The voice is removed from subsequent reads. A professional voice cannot be deleted while its status is `PENDING`: wait for training to finish and retry. Deleting an instant voice that is still being created cancels it. Repeating a successful deletion returns the same successful response.

## Path parameters

- `voice_id` string, required

## Response `200`

Successful response

- object
  - `data` DeleteModelAudioVoiceResponse: Confirmation returned after an audio voice is deleted.
    - `status` 'ok': Always `ok` when the voice was deleted successfully.

## Other responses

- `400`: Invalid request parameters
- `401`: Authentication failed
- `404`: Resource not found
- `409`: Conflict
- `429`: Rate limit exceeded

## Changes

- **2026-11-03** `7dfa5e59b4f5`: 1 info
  - endpoint added
