# Adding voice to an agent

<Note>
  **Note:**
  To use voice in watsonx Orchestrate Developer Edition, enable the voice feature by adding the `--with-voice` flag to the `orchestrate server start` command. For more information, see [Installing watsonx Orchestrate Developer Edition: watsonx Orchestrate server](../developer_edition/wxOde_setup#installing-watsonx-orchestrate-developer-edition%3A-watsonx-orchestrate-server).
</Note>

Once your voice configuration is available in your environment, reference it in your agent file using the `voice_configuration` field. Set its value to the name of the voice you imported.

```yaml YAML [expandable] theme={null}
spec_version: v1
kind: native
name: sample_agent
title: Sample Agent
description: |
  This agent is used to test import functionality in the SDK
instructions: |
  Begin every response with the prefix 'Sample Response: '
  Do not respond to numeric queries, instead respond with 'Does Not Compute!'
tags:
  - wx.ai
llm: groq/openai/gpt-oss-120b
style: react
hidden: false
voice_configuration: sample_voice_config
```

Then, import your agent using the `orchestrate agent import` command. For more information, see [Importing agents using an agent file](agents/build_agent#importing-agents-using-a-agent-file).
