  • ο»ΏEric Berget is a renowned expert in the field of learning experience design, with a particular focus on harnessing the power of storytelling. Throughout his career, he has witnessed firsthand the transformative impact that well-crafted narratives can have on learners, captivating their attention, igniting their emotions, and leaving a lasting impression.

    Drawing from his extensive experience, Eric shares personal anecdotes and compelling examples of projects that have seamlessly integrated storytelling into their core. One such project involved designing a training program for a healthcare organization, where he wove together the stories of patients and caregivers, creating an immersive experience that not only imparted knowledge but also fostered empathy and a deeper understanding of the human experience.

    Storytelling is a fundamental aspect of human communication and has been used for centuries to share knowledge, experiences, and lessons. In the context of learning experience design, storytelling can be a powerful tool to captivate attention, enhance engagement, and create a more meaningful and memorable learning experience.

  • We got a bunch of questions from the episode where I talked about AI for voiceovers, so this week we dive into the fascinating world of AI voiceovers and how they're shaking up the L&D industry. Thanks to incredible advancements in machine learning and natural language processing, AI voices are now impressively human-like, capable of conveying emotions, tones, and all the quirks that make us unique.

    We’ll explore the journey from robotic-sounding voices to today’s remarkable AI-generated speech. Meet 11 Labs, the Swiss Army knife of AI voiceovers. From seamless text-to-speech and versatile speech-to-speech features to an extensive voice library filled with diverse accents, ages, and genders, 11 Labs is your go-to for high-quality audio content.

    We’ll also discuss the great debate: AI versus human actors. While AI offers speed and budget-friendliness, there's still something irreplaceable about the raw emotion of a human performance. Maybe a mix of both is the future sweet spot?

    Join us as we look ahead to what’s next for AI voiceovers, creating lifelike audio experiences you won’t believe. Tune in to learn how you can harness this technology to create killer audio content without breaking the bank.
