Arm Me with Harmony: How Changing Your AI’s Ad Voice Can Improve Sales

Is it possible that the perceived gender of the AI voice you choose for your TikTok ads could be one of the most important factors in whether you’ll get a sale? Or, if you market a charity, whether you should use one of those "trembling" voices to evoke empathy?

In this special deep-dive episode, Tod speaks with Fotis Efthymiou, co-author of two papers on how changing AI voices in video ads can affect sales and donations:

• The Power of AI-Generated Voices: How Digital Vocal Tract Length Shapes Product Congruency and Ad Performance
• Empathy by Design: The Influence of Trembling AI Voices on Prosocial Behavior
• Fotis's LinkedIn
