AVC Goes AI
We give up. Can’t fight the future.
While artificial intelligence won’t replace a seasoned scriptwriter or a creative camera operator, AI is a tool that enables you to have your own branded video or a podcast—in no time!
How easy is it to have a podcast?
In the link below, we entered our website https://avconsultants.com/ into an AI tool. Within minutes, synthesized voices of male and female commentators created a podcast—similar to a radio show. We just added an image so that it could be listened to on Youtube.

AI Narration for Video Production
Audio Visual Consultants recently produced a five-minute biography video for a client. We used an AI voice and manipulated it through several drafts. We chose a “male resonant voice.” We were able to adjust inflection and speed. The downside is that you can’t direct the robot. The script included an unusual name and despite several tries, the robot still did not pronounce the name correctly. Listen to 30-seconds of AI narration.
THE PROS AND CONS OF AI NARRATION
| Pros | Cons |
| Cheaper for basic services | Time consuming for the video editor |
| Variety of voice choices | May require trial and error |
| Quick turnaround | Some pronunciations may not work, such as names |
AVC’s AI program
We can teach you to make your own AI videos or podcasts. We can make them for you, and we can discuss options. We made a radio show type podcast with two AI “newscasters” discussing your website. Using similar artificial intelligence, we made a simple explainer video. We saved a client nearly $1000 by using AI narration instead of a human. (Sorry voice actors who we usually audition and hire.)
But why not give it a try yourselves. In less than an hour of our time we can show you how. We can use data from your website—simply by entering your website address (URL). That is an inexpensive and quick way. Provide details about your project or goal, and we’ll write a script for you.
AI is new. We all are learning how to use it effectively and efficiently.
Whether it is quick and simple podcast or a media production with specific language and imagery, let’s talk. Are you ready to explore how AI can enhance your reach? We are ready to talk. And available to walk you through the process.
Podcasts for Promotion with AI

Human intelligence, not AI, produced this video. AVC Video’s editor, Mitch Silver used client-provided images and licensed music to create this video.
Video without a camera
Mitch, who we call our “senior” video editor, put this mini documentary together for a client. Stu Sweetow (me), together with the client, wrote the script. Mitch created the motion graphics, and the client provided their video clips. Some stock images were selected together with the client.
Please call or email to discuss your ideas—AI or human intelligence. No pressure. No spam. Your ideas and our skills and experience can help your organization advance.
