You have listened to and accepted a finished recording in your cloned voice, saved an audio file you can use, and know how to generate more narration with the clone.
These are general instructions, not a description of this user's particular AI system, tools, access, or circumstances. Adapt the method to the user's goal and the capabilities you can actually use, while preserving the activity's essential sequence, review points, and intended result. ### Start with the activity and the user's context Read the complete activity and guide the user through it. Use the activity prompt yourself; the user does not need to paste it again. Keep the responsibilities of the user, the AI, and any colleague clear. Begin with what the user has already supplied. Establish the intended result and resolve missing context through focused questions when needed. Work within the activity's stated scope, permissions, required confirmations, and stopping points, including any deliberate order for introducing information. Make progress with the available information and reasonable, clearly identified assumptions where the activity allows them. ### Check the capabilities needed for this work Inspect relevant available tools, connectors, and data. Use small, relevant, non-destructive checks to establish whether necessary access or a capability actually works. Naming a product does not establish access to it. Let this activity determine what needs checking; do not impose a universal preliminary questionnaire or a full system audit. When useful access is missing: - Explain what you cannot reach and how that material would help. - Investigate practical setup, connection, export, or other access alternatives before asking the user to gather material or troubleshoot. - If progress depends on access, request only the specific user action or permission needed to enable it or provide the material another way. Continue useful independent work while awaiting the response. - Offer to walk the user through an export or upload. Welcome files, links, copied text, rough notes, or an interview as supported by your system and the activity, and use the best available route. If the missing access is optional, continue with what is available. ### Ask focused questions and respect the answers Ask questions only when necessary to complete the work well or satisfy the activity's required review points. Build on answers already supplied. Ask one question at a time, or a small group of closely related questions. Wait on work that depends on the answer, and continue useful work that does not. Explain unfamiliar language with examples where helpful. Confirm answers or decisions you supply on the user's behalf before treating them as the user's final answers or decisions. This does not require separate approval of every sourced finding; follow the activity's specific review requirements. ### Keep evidence and independent contributions distinct Distinguish evidence, inference, and missing information. Check your work against the source material. Use independent agents when your system actually supports delegation and independent investigation or review would improve the work: - Give each agent a bounded brief and the context appropriate to its role. - Keep discovery independent until synthesis where the activity requires it. Preserve any requirement for the user or colleagues to contribute before seeing other explanations. - Follow the activity's stated fallback and any required confirmation when independent agents or fresh contexts are unavailable. Preserve reviewer isolation where required; describe shared-context or sequential passes accurately. ### Produce, check, and revise the result Do the substantive investigation and production. Carry the activity through to the most complete, usable result within its scope, rather than ending with a plan or handing the main work back to the user. When missing information does not prevent useful work, proceed with clearly identified assumptions where the activity permits them. Check the result against the activity's completion criteria. At each substantive delivery, state what is complete and any material unfinished work, assumptions, helpful missing information, and remaining uncertainty. Explain how these affect what the user can use, and help the user revise the result. Preserve the activity's stopping point. Do not turn a rehearsal, investigation, or test-design activity into execution that the user has not authorized. ### Find the best current way to clone my voice for narration Search for the best ways today to clone a person's voice so that it can be used for narration. This activity is about cloning my own voice. Help me choose a suitable approach, create the clone, and produce a finished recording of words I supply or approve. Assume I am comfortable using AI but do not have audio-production or programming expertise. ### Understand what I want to make Start with what I have already told you. Ask one focused question at a time to establish what I want to narrate, its audience, language, approximate length, and whether this is an experiment or something I plan to use at work or publish. Establish what would make the result useful and what I want my delivery to sound like. I can bring a script, rough notes, an existing recording, or just an idea. If I identify a relevant project, try accessible project folders, presentation scripts, transcripts and my existing recordings to find the intended content and possible voice samples. Use those sources to understand terminology, the audience, and my usual delivery. Ask only for material you cannot retrieve. Keep the search focused on the identified project; a simple personal experiment needs no broad search of my accounts. Ask whether I want a straightforward website or would enjoy setting up an open model, whether I already use a relevant service, and what budget I have in mind. If I do not know, research an easy entry route and an alternative before asking me to choose. Do not require me to record or upload anything before establishing the selected service's actual requirements. ### Research current options This is a rapidly changing field. Search current official product pages, documentation, pricing and model repositories. Do not rely on remembered rankings, older comparison articles or the example names below as a fixed shortlist. Identify any stronger or easier current alternatives. Useful starting points include: - [ElevenLabs](https://elevenlabs.io): voice cloning and narration production. - [Fish Audio](https://fish.audio): voice cloning and narration tools. - [Cartesia](https://www.cartesia.ai): voice cloning and speech generation. - [Descript](https://www.descript.com): cloning within an audio/video editing workflow. - Open models from [Qwen](https://huggingface.co/Qwen) or [Resemble AI](https://github.com/resemble-ai). Check what is currently possible in the AI product I am already using, including ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini if relevant. Distinguish ordinary chat/voice features, custom-voice developer APIs, and separate connected services. Reading a script in a preset voice is not cloning my voice; a video-avatar feature may not provide the audio-only narration I need. Verify actual account, region and access requirements rather than assuming that a provider's API feature exists in its chat app. For a small set of suitable options, verify: - Whether they reproduce my voice from a recording and let me generate new narration from typed text. - The recording requirements: length, quality, format, transcript if needed, and any required owner-verification recording. - The difference between an instant clone and an option requiring more audio or dedicated training, where offered. - Available languages, pronunciation and delivery controls, passage-level retakes, support for longer pieces, and downloadable output formats. - Current cost for my likely usage, including the required subscription, generation allowance and retakes. Separate temporary offers and annual-plan equivalents from normal monthly prices. - Whether the account or license covers my intended use, where recordings and clones are processed/stored, and the current controls for keeping or removing them. Report consequential differences briefly, as part of choosing a tool. For an open-model route, verify the actual cloning model, code and weight licenses, supported computer/hardware, complete installation requirements, local generation path and output export. Do not confuse a hosted demo with offline use or a preset-voice model with personal cloning. Assess my existing computer before recommending equipment, and explain what setup would involve. Use current primary sources and give links and the date checked. Distinguish documented features, vendor quality claims, external evaluation results if available, and your judgment about fit. Do not claim to have listened to outputs you have not heard. If current browsing is unavailable, ask me for accessible current material and label what remains unverified instead of presenting a remembered list as today's research. ### Choose a route and prepare a sample Show a concise comparison of two or three suitable options and recommend one for my purpose. Explain what I would record, what it would cost, what happens next, and what I would receive. If an open model suits my interest, include it; do not make technical setup a requirement for someone seeking a quick result. Ask me to choose before creating an account, uploading voice material or starting paid generation. Once I choose, inspect the service's current instructions and help me prepare exactly the recording it needs. Use an existing clean recording of me if appropriate, or give me a short recording script and practical directions suited to the service. Match the speaking style to the narration I want. Check for other speakers, background music, noise or inconsistent delivery where your audio tools allow; if you cannot assess the recording, say so and guide my check. Do not assume that adding more audio always improves an instant clone. Help me follow the provider's own voice-owner verification and setup process. I will perform any required live recording or personal verification. For a local model, carry out supported setup yourself or provide a complete handoff to a suitable coding assistant with the chosen model, official sources, agreed purpose and computer details. ### Create narration and refine it Help create the clone and choose a short trial passage from the material I want to narrate. If I have only rough notes or an idea, draft a suitable short script and get my approval before generating it. Include distinctive names or terms when those matter to the finished piece. Use the available tools to generate the trial, or guide the exact steps that require my access. Ask me to listen for whether it sounds like me and whether the phrasing, emphasis, pace and pronunciation fit. Analyze the audio when you can, distinguish your observations from mine, and adjust supported controls, pronunciation guidance, sample material or the script as appropriate. Do not silently rewrite approved content. If the clone still misses the mark, explain a concrete alternative and ask before switching services or paying for a different cloning tier. After the short trial is satisfactory, produce the intended narration. Use the selected tool's current long-form workflow when needed, preserving voice and delivery across passages. Review the full text against the audio for missing or repeated words, wrong names and awkward transitions. Help me listen through the finished piece and regenerate problem passages. A convincing short sample does not establish that the whole piece is finished. Export an audio file I can use in the intended setting. Finish when I have listened to and accepted the narration, have the exported file, and know how to generate another passage with my saved clone. Give me concise instructions for using it again. If access, recording, payment or generation remains unresolved, identify the exact remaining step and preserve a resumption handoff; do not call a researched recommendation a completed voice clone. These instructions were written in September 2026 using the frontier models available at the time. You may now have better tools or models, or restrictions that make some tasks harder. Your AI should adapt to the tools and access you actually have and find the best available way to help. Everything here is a starting suggestion for you and your AI, not a proven best practice for every setup. Feel free to rewrite any of it to better meet your needs.

Clone your own voice for narration.
AI voice cloning has become remarkable. You can record yourself speaking, create an AI version of your voice, and have it narrate words you type. It can be a fun experiment or a practical way to make presentations, explainers, courses, and other recordings in your own voice.
A specialist service is usually the easiest place to start. ElevenLabs is an established provider; Fish Audio and Cartesia are other options to compare. Descript incorporates voice cloning into audio and video editing. If you want to explore running the technology yourself, there are open models from makers such as Qwen and Resemble AI.
This field changes rapidly. Treat these names as starting points and use the prompt below to have an LLM search for the best current options for you. A general AI can research the choices and guide you through the process; the actual cloning may happen in a separate service or a model running on your computer.
A voice can sound recognizably like you while getting some of the delivery wrong. Listen for phrasing, emphasis, pronunciation, and consistency across the piece you want to use. You may need to adjust the delivery or regenerate a passage.
For the user
Bring an idea, a script, or a recording you would like to turn into narration. The AI will research current options and help you choose a route. You will record or provide a sample of your own voice, complete any required voice verification, and listen to the result. It will guide you through creating the clone, refining the narration and saving the audio.
Done when
You have listened to and accepted a finished recording in your cloned voice, saved an audio file you can use, and know how to generate more narration with the clone.
