This week’s exploration of synthetic voice and voice AI generated applications was truly fascinating for me. It was intriguing to learn about the capabilities of these technologies and then have the opportunity to experiment with both murf and elevenlab AI cloudbase services. I was amazed by some of the audio samples they produced; they were so lifelike and realistic, sounding just like an actual person recording. It’s incredible to see how far AI has come in replicating human voices.

During the class, we also had the chance to watch everyone’s rough cuts and receive feedback on our own projects. One sequence that really stood out to me was Amy’s Tome sequence. The way she combined the timelapse effects with the narrative of reading a book and the passing of time was so creatively fitting. It left a lasting impression on me.

I was pleasantly surprised by the positive feedback I received on my rough cut as well. It was encouraging to see that my ideas resonated with others, and they seemed to appreciate the overall concept. However, I also appreciated the constructive feedback I received, particularly about the pixelated issue that I had noticed but hoped would go unnoticed. It was a good reminder of the importance of paying attention to every detail and striving for a seamless final product. This experience has also shown me the value of receiving feedback from others. Sometimes, we might overlook certain aspects of our work, assuming that they won’t be noticed. But feedback from our peers provides valuable insights and helps us improve our projects further.
