AI Audio Books

I am experimenting with the AI in Eleven Labs to create an audio version of my book. Step one was to find one of their pre-existing voices to read a chapter of the book. This audio file is the result. Step two will be to give them a sample of my voice to read my own book. If it actually sounds good enough, then I can record my entire book for 10-20X less than hiring voice actors. For me, this does not steal any work from voice actors. They are too costly for me to ever earn back the investment. So it’s creating audio where none would exist otherwise.
