Partnering with Elevenlabs
Kauman Sama Co. has been accepted as a member of the Elevenlabs Impact program, a program designed to help non-profits serve their community. The feature that we are especially interesting in testing is Elevenlabs Voice Changer tool. Recording Sama stories in the field can have its downsides. The background sounds of field recordings can often be quite noisy. When we switch out the voice with one of Elevenlabs voices, most noise can be eliminated almost instantly. The tool also allows one good voice actor to play the part of multiple characters.
We tested out that function in the following video:
Kissa Dambilasan is a story told by a Sama friend back in 2015 in a noisy setting and with lots of people laughing. The storyteller masterfully did the voice of a narrator and two further characters in the story. We were able to differentiate the characters by separating them out with the Elevenlabs Voice Changer. Remember, this is a language not fully supported by Elevenlabs. You can find out more by going to their website.
We look forward to telling more stories in Sinama with the Elevenlabs Voice Changer tool.
