Celebrity estates are leveraging AI voice cloning to resurrect Hollywood icons, allowing users to experience their voices in new ways. ElevenLabs has secured deals with the estates of legendary actors like Burt Reynolds and Judy Garland to create professional voice clones for an audiobook app. This innovative approach addresses concerns about unauthorized AI impersonation while creating new revenue streams for the estates.
The technology requires just thirty minutes of high-quality audio to generate a voice clone, which can then narrate various text formats within the app. While this development opens up exciting possibilities, it also raises questions about the ethical implications and the future of voice acting in the industry. As AI voice generation evolves, it presents both opportunities and challenges for actors and voice talent.
