AIs for Voice + Video Creation 🎤📹

Hey AI Puppies, 

The AI landscape is evolving at lightning speed, but there’s one type of tool that’s especially popular these days. Well, there are actually two, but they go together quite well: audio and visual content creation 🎤📹

It’s no wonder these types of tools are at the top of most AI recommendation lists. Before generative artificial intelligence, it wasn’t easy to record and edit high-quality clips! You had to have the right equipment, the right editing software, and the right skill set to craft it all together. Oh, and you needed a lot of free time. 

Now, it only takes a few clicks on web-based platforms to produce compelling audio tracks with equally well-made video 📽️

Before jumping into our list of recommendations for the week, you might be wondering: why would I want to make AI-generated audio and video content?

If you’ve never considered delving into the wide world of content creation, here are a few potential use cases for AI voice and video generation technology:

🐾Generating likenesses for social media videos, podcasts, animations, or games

🐾Creating customized voice assistants to accompany a project (like audiobooks)

🐾Helping people with hearing impairments navigate your app or website

🐾Improving simulation & training content for your company 

🐾Prototyping a script or likeness for demos before hiring real actors

🐾Creating advertising content 

🐾Translating clips into different languages

There are a lot of tools already on the market to choose from, so let’s explore our favorites! Keep reading for a closer look at:
