ElevenLabs — Ed Riefenstahl continues teaching with AI voice

Ed Riefenstahl, the Director of Experiential Learning at TCU’s Neeley School of Business, experienced a significant speech challenge due to a traumatic brain injury and subsequent diagnosis of bulbar palsy. By early 2023, his condition had progressed to the extent that teaching became difficult. Inspired by Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton's use of AI voice tools, Ed collaborated with ElevenLabs to create a custom voice clone using recordings from before his injury, allowing him to restore his natural speech cadence and tone. This technological solution enabled him to reconnect with his students effectively, allowing them to focus on his teachings without distraction. Ed's experience highlights the potential of AI voice technology to help individuals communicate in ways that remain true to their identity, offering a renewed sense of confidence and personal connection.
