Week 9 - 🎤 This Prompt Turned AI into a Rap Artist

💽 AI just dropped a diss track.

That was the actual headline when a fan trained a model to rap in Kanye’s voice, and it sounded shockingly legit.
AI’s not just writing lyrics now, it’s performing them, with cadence, flow, and feeling.
Whether that excites or terrifies you… one thing’s clear:
Prompts aren’t just text anymore.
They're instruments.
And this week, we’re showing you how to turn your ideas into content that spits bars.

🔧 Tool of the Week: ElevenLabs Voice AI

What it is:
A leading AI voice platform that lets you turn text into hyper-realistic speech — and now, it’s leveling up again.

Why it matters:
The latest features make ElevenLabs feel less like a text-to-speech tool and more like a performance studio. You can now control emotion (yes, you can literally tell it to sound more hopeful, angry, or somber), experiment with multi-speaker support for dialogue-style reads, and tap into enhanced voice cloning that feels eerily human.

Whether you're narrating a Reel, voicing a tutorial, or bringing a brand to life with AI audio, tone is everything — and ElevenLabs finally lets you dial it in with precision.

⚡ Workflow to Steal: AI Voiceovers with Emotion (That Don’t Sound Robotic)

Step 1 – Write like a director.
Before you paste your script into ElevenLabs, add inline stage directions using the new emotion tags; things like [angry], [whispers], [laughs], [sighs]. These aren’t just flair; they shape the delivery.

Step 2 – Cast your scene.
Use multi-speaker mode to assign different characters (or tones) for different parts. Dialogue feels way more human when it’s not the same voice reading line after line.

Step 3 – Clone once, use forever.
Create your brand voice with ElevenLabs’ cloning tool. Then combine it with tone control and emotion cues to produce content that sounds like you, without needing to re-record every time.

Pro tip: The right punctuation can significantly impact the delivery. Ellipses, commas, and dashes all control pacing and energy. We’re dropping a cheat sheet in this week’s bonus to show you exactly how it works.

🧠 In the AI News: AI is Learning to Laugh — Literally

ElevenLabs isn’t the only one working on emotion in AI. Researchers at Meta and MIT are training models to detect, replicate, and even respond to human laughter. Some systems now distinguish between different types of laughs, sarcastic, joyful, and nervous, and reply with contextually appropriate chuckles.

Why it matters:
This isn’t just about comedy. Laughter is one of the most human social cues we have. Teaching AI to understand and use it moves us one step closer to machines that can hold emotionally intelligent conversations, not just recite data.

It also means your future AI co-host might have a sense of timing.

→ Bonus: We included an AI-generated laugh track in this week’s Creative Energy Pack. Use it wisely.

💡 Everyday AI Tip of the Week: Punctuation = Performance

When it comes to AI voiceovers, how you write it is how it sounds.

The secret weapon? Punctuation.
Here’s what most people overlook:

• Periods signal full stops and create clear, controlled delivery.

• Commas add natural pauses and rhythm.

• Ellipses (...) slow things down, add tension, or imply uncertainty.

• Exclamation points crank up the energy (but use them sparingly. AI tends to go overboard).

• Dashes — like this — create contrast and can shift tone mid-sentence.

If your voiceover sounds off, don’t rewrite the words — adjust the punctuation. You’re not just writing copy. You’re directing a performance.

We've built a cheat sheet of punctuation-powered voiceover examples, which is included in the Creative Energy Pack.
