Augie is a new AI tool for creating social media and promotional videos, but it has one feature that sets it apart: Augie can clone your voice and create video voiceovers for you.
AI Voice Cloning Tutorial: How to Clone Your Own Voice
Voice cloning is popping up all over the place, and while it has some serious drawbacks, it can be an extremely useful tool. It can be used when you need to record a voice, but don’t have a recording studio on hand, or the resources to hire a professional. Of course, that means those voice actors will suffer, but not in all cases. Augie seems to be one of the better tools, allowing computers to do what they do best: eliminate tedious tasks so you can focus on more interesting work.
“I am a professional voice actor, so as you can imagine, the topic of AI voice cloning is a top topic of discussion with our industry and legal teams. From what we have experienced and learned, even a ‘normal’ person should be aware of the risks associated with voice cloning,” professional voice actor Kira Gurnee told Lifewire via email.
Augie makes videos, so you can edit clips, add photos, and more. But the great thing is that you can record a snippet of your voice and Augie will clone it for you. From there, all you have to do is type in your voiceover script and it will generate the audio for you, with no lawn mowers, barking dogs, or screaming babies to ruin your recording. But not everyone is happy.
