Celebrating the evolution of cinema
Through the years, filmmakers have used the latest tech developments to create an enjoyable, immersive, and believable illusion for their viewers.

Respeecher is proud to be a part of the movie tech evolution. We are working hard to make movie soundscapes more convincing and immersive, while strictly sticking to ethical AI voice synthesis principles. We'll be happy to create a top-quality sound for your next project.
How voice actors can benefit from voice cloning
In a world of advancing AI, we believe in putting voice actors first. At Respeecher, we’re creating more than a platform - we’re building a trusted space for voice actors to protect, monetize, and extend their talents. We are discussing - and illustrating - some of the opportunities in our recent post.
Respeecher's Celebrity Voices project is just one of the ways professional voice actors can scale their voice and let it work as they have rest and work on other projects. All the professional voices that you can discover on the Voice Talent tab of Respeecher Marketplace are 100% legal, as they are listed with the permission of the actors or their estates.
With our Pay-as-You-Go plan, the price for Celebrity Voices is very flexible and transparent, so if you want to boost your next creative project with a unique voice, try Marketplace today!
