Film & Tech Trends Report January 2025

1. AI-Generated Voiceovers Are Quietly Replacing Human Narrators

The Trend: Netflix, Apple, and even indie podcasters are using AI-generated voices to replace expensive human narration—often without audiences noticing.

  • ElevenLabs’ AI voice cloning API saw 50x growth in 2024.

The Opportunity: 

  • Start an AI voice agency offering high-quality, affordable narration.
  • Sell custom AI voice packs for brands.
  • Build a “real vs. AI voice” detection tool for journalists.
  • Create AI voice agents as a service. Would you rather pay a local customer service employee $15 an hour for 8 hours per day ($120) for maybe an average of 2 full hours on the phone OR would you rather pay based on actual daily call time, plus 24/7 availability (those same 2 full hours of phone time costing just $12 or $0.10 per minute)… a savings of $108 per day?
    • Keyword search volume for “AI voice agents” has grown +1,355% YoY.
