Hello again
A month ago I sent out an update on the impressive improvements in AI-generated voices over the past year. And then pinned a mental note for myself to follow up in a year or so with the next improvements.
And then the world shifted!!!
What I thought (naively as it turns out) was a year or two away, landed a week ago.
And OMG!! It is just, just…. well, I’m struggling for superlatives that don’t sound cheesy yet can convey my state of amazement.
Here’s how far it’s come in 3 clips…
Before you leave, at the bottom is a link to Heritage Voices where you can hear a much wider range of samples, it’s worth a few minutes, I promise!!!
1 - Off-the-shelf AI voice (Feb 2026)
2 - Malcolm Gooding’s twin (Sep 2026)
3 - Melanie Walker’s twin (Oct 2026)
I’d love to read your feedback.
Malcolm and Melanie are the first of several Heritage Voices whose AI twins we represent. This means you can send us a script and we will quote and produce the raw audio for you, and (this is the biggie)… we can issue you with an official usage licence. And since Malcolm and Melanie will likely be out and about tending to olives or teaching pilates, while their digital twins do the work, you can expect a lower performance fee than booking them in person. #winwin
To experience much more of the vast range of accents and emotions, visit our Heritage Voices page and listen to a few of the samples we’ve created. Oh, and you can switch between voices as they are playing.
It’s amazing what can change in 7 months!
It’s amazing what can change in 1 month!
I can’t wait for NEXT week :-D
What an adventure!
