Notes from building this. Mostly numbers I could not find anywhere else.

• Where AI voiceovers work — and where they don't

  Synthetic narration is excellent at some jobs and quietly bad at others. Knowing which is which saves you from finding out in public.

• Why recording your own voiceover feels so bad in a second language

  It is not vanity, and it is not confidence. Recording in a language you learned costs more of your attention than speaking it does — and a microphone spends what is left.

• How much audio do you need to clone your voice?

  About ten seconds. The interesting question is which ten seconds, and why most bad clones are a recording problem rather than a model problem.

• Why I built dub44

  I kept not making videos. Not because I had nothing to say — because I did not want to hear myself say it in English.
