In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a tech experiment that’s equal parts fascinating and futuristic: I used AI to clone my voice. Yep - some of what you’re hearing today wasn’t actually recorded by me… but by a machine that sounds like me. Can you tell which parts?
We’ll dive into:
- What voice cloning is and how it actually works
- My full setup process with ElevenLabs (plus a real convo with their AI assistant)
- The pros and cons of using AI voice tech
- How small businesses and content creators can use voice cloning in meaningful, ethical ways
- And of course, a fun guessing game to test your ear for what’s real vs. AI
This episode replaces the usual 15-Minute Challenge with something even better: a playful prompt to share, compare, and connect with fellow creators as we all navigate this wild world of AI together.
💡 What You’ll Learn:
- How voice cloning works and how long it takes to set up
- Realistic use cases for podcasters, course creators, and SMB's
- Why this tech can be a creative support (not a replacement)
- Where it shines—and where it still falls short
- How to start experimenting with your own voice clone
