RE: Creating Audiobooks With Eleven Labs

in Rant, Complain, Talk2 years ago

I wish I had the money to hire some real voice actors to do it, but at the moment, it's a bit outside my reach. The main reason for doing so is that I don't really have much control over the tone or direction of the voices. Also, some of the AI ones kind of take away from the material a bit. But, as proof of concept, it's good.

It'll be interesting to see if a few months of this might attract enough of a following to make hiring actors and adding more production value possible in the future. That would definitely be the goal anyway.

That makes total sense ! Something to look at is your circle of friends, to see who has a good speaking voice with the right tone and accent. You might just have to do a lot of editing until they get into practice reading longer passages without error. Or perhaps you could use them for smaller dialogue parts with AI doing the main narration, blending human and machine.

You know what, that would be a great idea!

To be fair, I could swap out voices from this file at any stage in the edit, so it could be well worth looking into that on a very small scale.

The main narrator voice is actually pretty good, and it seems to get pronunciation fairly correct which was something I was afraid of.
