We test out the ElevenLabs AI voice technology by recreating our own podcast intro and exploring what this means for actors, filmmakers, and content creators. With celebrities like Michael Caine, Matthew McConaughey, Liza Minnelli, and Dr. Maya Angelou signing deals to have their voices used by AI, we ask the big question: Why are they doing this?
Topics covered:
Live demo of ElevenLabs AI voice generator
Why celebrities like Michael Caine and Matthew McConaughey are licensing their voices
The cost and convenience of AI voices vs hiring real actors
SAG-AFTRA concerns about AI in the entertainment industry
Potential use cases: audiobooks, manuals, translations, and accessibility
The ethical debate: Is an AI voice still ""real"" even if it sounds perfect?
