Episode 2 Embarrassment | The Feelings Lab

AudioStack offers a comprehensive voice library for audio advertisements, podcasts, and branded content. As they continue to grow their voice offerings, they're integrating Hume's emotionally intelligent voices to meet two core demands of creative teams: 1. Consistent Stability Enterprise content generation requires voices that perform reliably across thousands of productions. Hume's voices deliver consistent quality and pronunciation, ensuring brand messaging remains clear and professional, whether creating one ad or thousands of dynamic variations. 2. Natural Expressiveness Generic TTS voices often sound flat or robotic—a dealbreaker for agencies creating audio that needs to engage audiences. Hume's voices bring genuine emotional depth, helping audio content feel authentic, engaging, and human.

Hume replaced OpenAI, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, and Langfuse, more than halving Journee’s costs and dramatically simplifying debugging and prompt management. EVI solved Journee's challenges across five dimensions: Affordable Scaling: Industry-low pricing enabled Journee to deploy voice agents across every customer touchpoint. Clean APIs: Hume’s complete, well-documented APIs and Python SDK reduced integration time from weeks to days. Consistent Enterprise Performance: EVI delivers latency ranging from 140 ms to 1.3 s, outperforming any other solution Journee tested, even under heavy multi-session load. Technical Precision: Hume’s API sends a reliable “end-of-speech” signal, allowing Journee to instantly release inference resources. Expressive and Natural Voices: EVI sends the first second of speech almost instantly, then streams the rest reliably, enabling natural turn-taking and emotional realism.

Using Hume's custom voice cloning technology, Render Foundry created a Babe Ruth simulator that feels emotionally authentic. Hume's captured the tonal qualities, cadence, and personality of the baseball icon, allowing visitors to have natural, engaging conversations with one of sports' most beloved figures. The result is an experience that transcends typical museum exhibits. Visitors not only learn about Babe Ruth, but also connect with him. Render Foundry created something truly special by simulating Babe’s likeness and syncing the audio and the visual, making this experience one-of-a-kind.
