Description
If you’ve ever spent time on YouTube, you’ve probably come across “faceless” channels. Some even employ AI voices, allowing them to focus purely on content creation without involving their personal identities. This style of creation is becoming increasingly popular for video because it involves far less work. You don’t need a video camera, lighting or recording space. I can see the appeal to some creators.It made me wonder: could podcasts follow a similar trend and become entirely voiceless? Let’s be clear here as to what “voiceless” means in this context. There is still technically a voice, but it’s not your human voice. With the increasing popularity of cloning voices using AI, are we on the precipice of stepping into a world where synthetic voices are the norm?Imagine using AI to replace your voice altogether. No more recording sessions, just write a script, or you could go even further and have AI write your script for you. Then let an AI-generated voice say it all and bam, you’ve got yourself a “podcast”. To some, this might seem like a utopian shortcut—minimal effort for maximum output. To me, it initially felt very wrong and entirely impersonal. But, in the spirit of experimentation, I decided to give it a go and share my findings with you.BAMBY MEDIA LINKS:Free Podcast Audit ServiceApply to Join PodCoachYouTube ChannelGEAR WE USE HERE AT BAMBY MEDIA:DescriptSE Dyncaster DCM8Rode Boom ArmXLR CablesSony ZV E10Elgato CamlinkAputure Amaran 200d LED Video LightAputure Light Box MinPre-Amp/Mixers we recommendFocusrite Clarett+Rode Streamer XRodecaster Pro IIRodecaster Pro Duo
