ElevenLabs  Partners with Iconic Hollywood Actors

ElevenLabs, an artificial intelligence audio research and product company, today announced a series of collaborations and major product updates to its Creative Platform at its first ElevenLabs Summit. The announcements include new partnerships with Hollywood actors Michael Caine and Matthew McConaughey and the launch of the company's Iconic Marketplace, enabling the ethical sourcing and licensing of some of the world's most recognizable voices.

As part of this launch, British cultural icon and award-winning actor Michael Caine is joining the Iconic Marketplace, enabling companies and creative teams to request approval to use Caine's voice for projects and content. Caine joins more than 25 other iconic figures available on the Marketplace, including Maya Angelou, Alan Turing, and Liza Minnelli. Caine's voice will also be available on the ElevenReader app to narrate books, articles, and PDFs.

"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," Caine said. "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."

Additionally, ElevenLabs announced that Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey is an ElevenLabs investor and customer. McConaughey is now using ElevenLabs' technology to bring a Spanish audio version of his newsletter, Lyrics of Livin', in his own voice, to a wider audience.

"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," McConaughey said. "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."

ElevenLabs also announced the following product upgrades to its Creative platform:
