AI Cloning of My Voice: Thoughts on 11 Labs

Most of my recent videos feature clips of dance segments with my voiceover, explaining important technical details. My last video was on the movie White Nights with dance legends Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines. This video differed from my other videos. The voice was not mine.
The voice-over from my last video was AI generated (artificial intelligence), cloned from my voice using software from ‪@elevenlabsio‬ a New York City company that started in 2022. The software specializes in natural sounding speech synthesis, and text to speech software using AI and deep learning.
11 Labs is a great tool, but it has limitations. This video takes you through how I tried to deal with these issues. I am new to AI tools and welcome thoughts on your use of such tools and helpful tips. Thanks!
