Marco van Hylckama Vlieg, facing a public speaking commitment with a damaged voice due to a respiratory virus, utilized ElevenLabs' AI technology to deliver his presentation at Imagine AI Live. By leveraging ElevenLabs' Professional Voice Cloning, Marco created an AI version of his voice after uploading an hour of his speech recordings. Although he encountered a challenge during the voice verification process due to his impaired voice, the ElevenLabs moderation team manually validated his clone, allowing him to proceed. The AI-assisted delivery was a success, earning positive feedback from the audience for the innovative use of technology to overcome a real-world speaking obstacle.
