Matthew McConaughey, Michael Caine sign voices over to A.I.

Matthew McConaughey and Michael Caine are officially lending their voices to artificial intelligence amid actors’ widespread concerns about the technology’s impact on their livelihoods. The Oscar-winning stars will have their iconic voices digitally recreated by ElevenLabs, the AI voice technology company. Notably, McConaughey, 56, known for his role in “Interstellar,” is also investing an undisclosed sum in the company, according to Variety.

“To everyone building with voice technology: keep going. You’re helping create a future where we can look up from our screens and connect through something as timeless as humanity itself — our voices,” McConaughey, who has collaborated with ElevenLabs since 2022, said in a statement.

As part of this collaboration, ElevenLabs will be producing a Spanish-language audio version of McConaughey’s “Lyrics of Livin’” newsletter. The actor hopes this will help the content “reach and connect with even more people.”

Meanwhile, Michael Caine’s distinctive Cockney voice will be featured in ElevenLabs’ Iconic Voice Marketplace. This platform seeks to provide access to talent for various projects, with commitments required from all parties involved. The 92-year-old actor echoed McConaughey’s positive outlook, stating that the company aims to “preserve and share voices not just mine, but anyone’s. It’s not about replacing voices; it’s about amplifying them, opening doors for new storytellers everywhere.”

ElevenLabs describes the Iconic Voice Marketplace as enabling “the ethical sourcing and licensing of some of the world’s most recognizable voices.” The roster includes notable figures such as Art Garfunkel, Liza Minnelli and her late mother Judy Garland, as well as deceased legends like Thomas Edison, John Wayne, Jean Harlow, Maya Angelou, Babe Ruth, Rock Hudson, Alan Turing, Montgomery Clift, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and Laurence Olivier.

With this innovative venture, ElevenLabs hopes to balance respect for artists with the exciting possibilities voice AI can offer storytellers worldwide.
