The ElevenLabs Iconic Voices Collection has been announced by the company as an update for its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered program that will provide users with an old Hollywood-inspired experience.
The feature enables four classic Hollywood stars including Burt Reynolds, Judy Garland, James Dean and Sir Laurence Olivier who can be chosen to read an array of content. The recognizable names will be added to the more than one-million voice options presently available in the Reader App where users can update PDFs, copy and paste test or even provide URLs to have them read back to them.
Liza Minelli, daughter of Judy Garland, spoke on the ElevenLabs Iconic Voices Collection saying, "It’s exciting to see our mother’s voice available to the countless millions of people who love her. Through the spectacular new technology offered by ElevenLabs, our family believes that this will bring new fans to Mama, and be exciting to those who already cherish the unparalleled legacy that Mama gave and continues to give to the world."
