Can you confirm that you will be using text-to-audio AI voices that have been trained on Rob’s actual voice and the other guests’ and hosts’ voices? Kelsey Piper’s new blog, Planned Obsolescence, does this, and it works very well (with a delicious undertone of uncanny valley). I think it would be great for authenticity, and strengthening the parasocial bond between audience and creator.
If this proves too costly, I would suggest it’s still worth just getting the hosts and guests to read out the transcripts themselves, because the benefits of voice authenticity are hard to overstate.
We love to see / hear it!
