voicebox this voice cloning really raises the bar for side hustles a bit too high.

For work like audiobooks and short-form video voiceovers, the most annoying thing before was always the voice.
Either you spend several thousand to take a voice acting course.
Or you just find some voice type online and make do.
But it’s not your own voice—listening to it feels like something’s missing.
The voicebox playbook is pretty brutal:
Record a few snippets of your own voice.
Train a local model.
Then directly generate your own AI voice line.
When you take orders, paste the script in—different emotions are generated with a single click.
Audiobooks, ads, and live-selling short videos can all be done with the same voice setup.
I’m already feeling like I want to start.
You can start with just a laptop. Orders are priced per piece—one line is from tens to a few hundred.
If you take about twenty pieces a month, it’s way more comfortable than hard-sitting through a whole day at a desk job.
Voice acting used to feel like a space for professionally trained players.
But once voicebox came out, ordinary people can jump right to the table too.
Kind of unbelievable.
