\n\tMichael\u00a0Caine and Liza Minelli are among a list of actors to lend their voices to ElevenLabs<\/a>, the generative AI company that specializes in audio.<\/p>\n

\n\tElevenLabs has partnered with stars, both dead and alive, to launch the \u201cIconic Voice Marketplace,\u201d a platform where users can request access to voices to create editorial and commercial content. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe deals are a sign of AI companies collaborating with rights holders at a time when they face serious allegations of exploiting intellectual property without permission. ElevenLabs just this month settled a lawsuit<\/a> from two actors, Karissa Vacker and Mark Boyett, who accused the company of misappropriating their voices.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs well as living actors like Art Garfunkel, ElevenLabs\u2019 voice marketplace will feature the tones of dead icons, including John Wayne, Laurence Olivier, and Judy Garland. <\/p>\n

\n\tCaine, famed for roles in The Dark Knight and The Italian Job, has voiced an advert for the ElevenLabs initiative. The British actor\u2019s voice will also be available on the ElevenReader app to narrate books, articles, and PDFs.<\/p>\n

\n\tSeparately, ElevenLabs announced that Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughey<\/a> has invested in the AI company. Financial details were not disclosed.<\/p>\n

\n\tIconic Voice Marketplace allows users to submit requests for voices, with ElevenLabs matching them with rights holders. Agreements are reached off-platform, and then ElevenLabs\u2019 cloning technology delivers the voice.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFor years, I\u2019ve lent my voice to stories that moved people \u2014 tales of courage, of wit, of the human spirit. Now, I\u2019m helping others find theirs. With ElevenLabs, we can preserve and share voices \u2014 not just mine, but anyone\u2019s,\u201d said Caine. \u201cElevenLabs is at the very forefront of technology, using innovation not to replace humanity, but to celebrate it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMcConaughey added: \u201cI launched my newsletter, Lyrics of Livin\u2019, as a way to share stories and ideas in my own voice with those who want to listen. Now, thanks to ElevenLabs, Lyrics of Livin\u2019 is expanding with a Spanish language edition, allowing us to reach and connect with even more people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tElevenLabs was founded in 2022 by Piotr D\u0105bkowski and Mati Staniszewski, former Google and Palantir employees, respectively.<\/p>\n
