You have to shape the voices in the tools, if you just spit them out they're junk but if you take the time to shape the voice a bit it gets better quickly, this is a cheap 11labs voice with 30 seconds spent on some basic shaping: https://s.h4x.club/bLuNlJWx

Still a bit teleprompter-ish but there are tools to go in and adjust pace and style throughout and you probably hear a lot of stuff with people not using those creative features. 11labs might very well be one of the best bits of software I've used, it's a great deal of fun to play with and if you're willing to spend the time the results are superb - I don't even have a use case, I just like making them because they're fun to listen to, ha!

What is shaping the voice means?
You---can, really--slow, speed up or change, how, things sound, by, -- using queues like this, to control how the voice,,, - tells the story {{3sec}} - once you find a voice you like, you can go in and {{1sec}}

//

control how,

it goes about {{1sec}} story telling.
