ElevenLabs' Iconic Marketplace is a new, two-sided platform where companies can license AI voices of entertainment legends, sports heroes, musical talent, and even historical figures. Touted as a "breakthrough for ethical sourcing and licensing of celebrity content," the Iconic Marketplace lets brands negotiate directly with rights holders and talent representatives to license AI-replicated voices of famous figures for content, changing how famous voices are preserved and how stories are shared.
On the Iconic Marketplace, some of the legendary voices currently available for licensing include Judy Garland, Mark Twain, Dr. Maya Angelou, Liza Minnelli, and Sir Michael Caine. As far as who can inquire about contributing to the Iconic Marketplace, public figures, actors, and IP rights holders are welcomed.
