This AI Cloned My Voice… Then Made It Cry, Laugh, and Yell 😳

I tried Fish.audio and… wow. It’s like magic for your voice. I also write a post about it on twitter/X.

You just record a short clip of yourself talking, and it clones your voice perfectly. Then you can make your voice do all kinds of things—talk happy, sad, angry, even whisper or yell. It sounds so real, it’s kinda scary (but in a cool way).

I’ve used it to create voiceovers for videos, fun messages, and even a mini podcast. Super easy to use, and it works fast.

If you ever wanted your own voice actor—this is it.
Go try it out. It's fun, simple, and really smart.
