Melania Trump Releases Audiobook, Lends Her Own Voice to the Reading - Melania Trump publishes an audio version of her book.
First Lady Melania Trump Shares AI-Narrated Audiobook
Melania Trump, the First Lady of the United States, has announced the release of an audiobook created with the assistance of cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology. In an online post on Thursday, she expressed her honor in presenting the AI-narrated audiobook titled "Melania - The AI Audiobook."
The seven-hour recording, modeled on her unique voice, will be spoken entirely by an AI-generated voice replica, stated the First Lady. Additionally, multiple foreign language versions of the audiobook will be available later this year. The AI-generated voice was created under her guidance and supervision.
On the audiobook's official website, it is disclosed that the AI-generated voice was meticulously crafted by ElevenLabs, a U.S. startup specializing in voice cloning technology. This innovative approach allows for high-fidelity AI voice models that perfectly mimic Trump's tone, cadence, and speaking style. The technology enables the production of multilingual versions, with upcoming releases planned in Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, and other languages to maintain a consistent vocal identity through real-time AI dubbing.
The audiobook essentially lends voice to Melania Trump's memoir, Melania, originally published in print. By employing AI narration instead of traditional voice actors or extended studio sessions, the project significantly cuts down production time and costs while broadening its reach worldwide. The audiobook is accessible on the ElevenReader app and MelaniaTrump.com.
Melania Trump's public appearances have been limited at the White House following her husband's inauguration on January 20. However, she has been actively advocating for a recently signed law against revenge pornography, which will also apply to AI-generated images. In a statement, she emphasized the monumental victory the new rules represent, as they safeguard children from online exploitation.
Furthermore, Melania Trump's list of ventures extends beyond her upcoming memoirs and the AI-narrated audiobook. She is also producing a docuseries for Amazon, for which she has reportedly secured a lucrative contract nearing tens of millions of dollars. The exact details of the project have not been disclosed as of yet.
