Yeah that seems to be one of the trickiest parts, finding enough quality audio material for 11Labs to do its thing.
In my brief experiment with 11Labs this was a major stumbling block.

So if someone sampled Sandmans voice, Sandman would own those rights by default and someone else couldn't monetize his voice?
Or is it the case like where celebrities, voice actors and studios explicitly make someone's voice their legal IP?
@UncleIroh If you’re getting the source from video games there may be options to turn sound effects and music volume to zero so that the only sound is from dialogue.
I was able to make Android 18’s voice this way using voice lines from DBFZ
@UncleIroh @Lorgar I don’t know the exact law but the studio would own the rights to the character’s voice.
Sean Schemmel, the English voice actor for Goku, once said that he can’t lend out Goku’s voice for things like Team Four Star because it would be against his contract. Which would mean Funimtion owns his voice acting for Goku.
So to avoid legal troubles you’d need clips of the voice actor speaking normally not in any character, which is probably illegal anyways. 🤷

Awesome job, congrats.
Can you outline the process? What was the hardest part?
@Lorgar , you did the Gynferno right? You should redo yours like this. I enjoyed your version but it would be better with great AI voices, like sampling Sandman's actual voice. That would be funny as hell when he says "And cheeeeers!"
@UncleIroh @Lorgar
Step 3. Eliminate all background noises in Reaper (a DAW). Done with a noise gate or manually.
Step 4. Equalize volume for each character to every other instance in the poem, first by each character to themselves in every canto, then each character to themselves in all cantos.
Step 5. Put the entire poem together in sequential order, adjusting volumes along the way. Render it.
Step 6. Make speaker credits, introduction, & thumbnail. combine & upload.
@UncleIroh @Lorgar thank you for the praise. It was tedious more than anything.
Step 1. Finding instances of the characters speaking with little background noise. I was extremely fortunate LoK has a lot of that. Then it was screen shotting the clips and putting them into Eleven Labs to synthesize them.
Step 2. Copying the entirety of The Inferno and parsing it by who speaks when.
Example:
Canto 14 part 5 - Raziel
Canto 14 part 6 - Kain

@UncleIroh @Lorgar I didn’t intend for it to be monetized. I even say that in introduction. The Inferno itself is public domain, however the voices belong to who ever owns their rights.

@Lorgar Yep. Took me over 2 months but it’s done. AI really is soemthing.
Dante’s Inferno read by Legacy of Kain characters (ai audiobook)

@Stahesh I might be staring into the abyss too much.

@sardonicsmile You have to now make 106k a year to afford an average-sized house.
Bring on the collapse, fuck it. Time for the Boomers to pay.
@sardonicsmile @VooDooMedic Except this society is run by women and gives no power to men. So it’s completely rational for men to not want to support it. Why toil if your labor bears no fruit?
@DianaSez god forbid we go nuclear
@ButtWorldsMan that doesn’t even make sense.
@shortstories nothing. What??
