Matthew McConaughey and Michael Caine Lend Their Iconic Voices to the Future With ElevenLabs AI

Matthew McConaughey and Michael Caine are taking their voices into the world of artificial intelligence. The two actors have partnered with the AI audio company ElevenLabs to create digital versions of their voices that can be used for different creative projects.

McConaughey, who has worked with ElevenLabs since it launched in 2022, is also investing in the company. He’s using its technology to release a Spanish-language version of his newsletter Lyrics of Livin’, which will feature his own AI-generated voice.

In a statement shared by ElevenLabs, McConaughey said, “Since our first conversation, I’ve been impressed by how the ElevenLabs team has taken the magic of the core technology and turned it into products that creators, enterprises and storytellers use daily. I launched my newsletter, ‘Lyrics of Livin’,’ as a way to share stories and ideas in my own voice with those who want to listen.”

“Now, thanks to ElevenLabs, ‘Lyrics of Livin’’ is expanding with a Spanish language edition, allowing us to reach and connect with even more people. To everyone building with voice technology: keep going. You’re helping create a future where we can look up from our screens and connect through something as timeless as humanity itself — our voices.”

Meanwhile, Michael Caine has joined ElevenLabs’ new platform, the Iconic Voice Marketplace. The 92-year-old actor’s deal allows companies and creators to apply for permission to use his digital voice for various projects, such as narrations and storytelling content.

Caine’s AI-generated voice appears in a promotional video from ElevenLabs, saying, “Each new advancement in technology is met with caution — and rightly so. But every single time, the human drive for passion, artistry and creativity prevails. Because technology is just the medium. This is humanity — amplified.”

In a separate statement released through the company, Caine explained his reason for getting involved with the project: “For years, I’ve lent my voice to stories that moved people — tales of courage, of wit, of the human spirit. Now, I’m helping others find theirs. With ElevenLabs, we can preserve and share voices — not just mine, but anyone’s. ElevenLabs is at the very forefront of technology, using innovation not to replace humanity, but to celebrate it.”

“ElevenLabs gives everyone the tools to be heard. It’s not about replacing voices; it’s about amplifying them, opening doors for new storytellers everywhere. I’ve spent a lifetime telling stories. ElevenLabs will help the next generation tell theirs.”

The Iconic Voice Marketplace also includes the voices of other well-known figures such as Judy Garland, John Wayne, Maya Angelou, and Babe Ruth. According to ElevenLabs, the platform was created to make voice replication more ethical by giving creators a proper licensing process to use these voices responsibly.

Mati Staniszewski, CEO and co-founder of ElevenLabs, said that the marketplace shows how AI can “responsibly expand opportunities for studios and talent, while enhancing storytelling.” He described Caine as “an iconic creator and voice whose cultural and artistic consequence we hope will only be further championed through this platform.”

The partnership with McConaughey and Caine highlights how AI is becoming more accepted in entertainment, not to replace human creativity, but to expand how stories are shared and voices are heard around the world.
