  3. How do I ask for permission to use other people’s content?

You can use the voice and content of others with their consent. You need to get their permission before using their materials on voice cloning technology.


Contact the creator (or owner) of the voice or content. Explain what materials you want to use, how you plan on using it, and for what purpose. Describe how and where you intend to share your voice clone. If the creator (or owner) agrees to your terms, you can go ahead with your plans.


Some content creators monetize their work by allowing others to use their materials in exchange for a fee. You can negotiate the fee based on what value their content represents to you, how much and how long you will use their content for, and your budget. It is best to have their permission in writing, which can include emails, social media messages or texts. Keep a copy of the permission somewhere safe in case you need to return to it later.

For example you might write something like:

Hi ABC,

I love your voice. I’d like to generate a clone of your voice using Voice Airs’ technology to voice-over one of my video clips reviewing a release of a new mobile phone.


I’d like to use this sound recording you’ve posted on your socials (title: “...”, posted on 18th June 2023, URL link) to generate a 20-second voice clone for my video. I’ll share my video on my socials (Instagram and TikTok).


Would that be okay with you?


Thanks,
XYZ
