Voice Clones & Digital Ghosts: Should You Let AI Speak for You? - Episode 2
May 14, 2025Today’s episode is equal parts brave, bizarre, and beachy. We’re talking about AI voice cloning — the tech that can literally replicate your voice to record podcasts, teach courses, or respond to DMs while you're off sipping cocktails.
But here’s the question that hit me like a wave to the face:
If it’s not you speaking… is it still you?
This isn’t just a tech chat — it’s a deeper dive into identity, intimacy, and the soul of your brand. Can AI scale your voice without dimming your energy? Or does it turn you into a content zombie with perfect scripts and zero warmth?
Let’s unpack the ethics, strategy, and soul behind this new wave.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
-
Why your voice is more than just sound — it’s your vibe, your spell, your transmission

Big Takeaways:
“You don’t have to clone yourself to stay consistent. You just need better systems.”
“Your voice is your digital soulprint — don’t hand it over lightly.”
“An AI might sound like you — but your people will feel the difference.”
When AI Voice Cloning Does Make Sense:
- Repetitive, evergreen scripts (e.g., intros, FAQs, auto replies)
- Draft reviews (use AI to play back your script to catch awkward bits)
- Multilingual expansion (clone your tone across languages, not just words)
