Have you seen an AI-generated celebrity dub of another song? If you’re young like I am you might be seeing Patrick Star belting Adele. All that’s fun and freaky but what about me? What about the business? How can WE use AI voice clone technology to amplify reach?

AI Voice Cloning…Simply-ish

Essentially we’re training an AI how to speak like you intentionally. (Terrifying, right?) Using what are called “base models” as a starting point, we use recorded audio of a voice (mine in this case) to create an AI voice clone.

The results are pretty lit:

Applications are pretty insane:

  • Personalized birthday audio messages
  • End-to-end automated YouTube channels
  • Fixing corrupted audio

I’m just scratching the surface of AI voice clones.

In fact, we’ve implemented all of these in some format.

  • Created a cute little birthday message for one of my vendors at my day job
  • Quiz Taco is now end-to-end automated for video creation (sadly, not editing)
  • We’ve saved around 3 minutes of audio sequences

Setup Your AI Voice Clone

So how do you make an AI voice clone and give a robot the ability to call your bank? Glad you asked, Chat.

Eleven Labs is currently the simplest (and highest quality) AI audio cloner. You need a paid plan to access the feature, but the cloning (as you listened to) is really life-like.

  1. Start by recording 10x 1-minute audio clips of content you usually produce
  2. Convert them to MP3 format
  3. Upload to Eleven Labs voice cloning feature (Voices tab)
  4. Wait for the model to train
  5. Name your model (Note: if you’re using this via API, use ‘-’ instead of spaces to make your life easier!)
  6. Go to the text to speech page
  7. Select your model
  8. Type your text and click generate speech
  9. Tweak the settings using advanced mode or use simple mode for the recommended settings

Using this we’ve completely removed the need for me to voice record all of our video content on our automated YouTube and TikTok channels. (These blogs, Digital Femboy and newsletters remain human-written tho!)
