Respeecher has also done projects recreating other iconic voices including Vince Lombardi, Luke Skywalker, and Darth Vader and announced a $1 million “pre-series A” fundraising round Wednesday. Respeecher, a Ukrainian-based AI voice company, says it relied on “a few dozen minutes” of existing recordings of the actor’s voice to train its system, blending that together with a voice actor reading the story out loud to create the finished version seemingly read by Stewart himself. While the story itself was written and produced by Calm, the app worked with voice cloning company Respeecher to create a sound similar to Stewart. “It’s amazing what technology can do and wonderful to see Dad’s legacy live on this holiday season in new ways, like helping people find restful sleep and sweet dreams.” “We are excited for our Dad to be the voice of Calm’s latest Sleep Story,” said Kelly Stewart Harcourt via a Calm statement to CNN. The collection is meant to guide users to bed with calming voices and very few plot points, with Stewart’s story now available to premium Calm subscribers.
