Read Bedtime Stories in Your Own Voice — Even When You Can't Be There

The Voice They Want to Hear

Ask any child who they want to read them a bedtime story, and the answer is almost always the same: you.

Your voice is comfort. It's safety. It's the sound that means everything is okay and it's time to rest.

But life doesn't always cooperate. Business trips, late shifts, shared custody arrangements, deployed parents, grandparents who live far away — there are so many reasons a parent or caregiver might not be there at bedtime.

That's why we built voice cloning into StoryLark.

How It Works

Voice cloning in StoryLark is simple and takes about two minutes:

1. Record a short sample — read a few sentences out loud in the app (about 30 seconds of audio)
2. StoryLark creates your voice model — our AI learns the unique qualities of your voice
3. Every story is narrated in your voice — your child hears you reading their personalized bedtime story

The technology is powered by ElevenLabs, one of the most advanced voice AI platforms in the world. The result sounds natural, warm, and recognizably you.

When It Makes a Difference

We hear from parents in all kinds of situations:

• Traveling parents who want to still be part of the bedtime routine from a hotel room across the country
• Military families where a deployed parent's voice at bedtime means the world
• Co-parenting families where bedtime happens at two different houses
• Grandparents who live far away but want to read a story to their grandchild
• Parents who've lost their voice — literally, from illness — but still want storytime to happen

One parent told us: "My daughter asks for a StoryLark story every night I'm traveling. She says it's almost like I'm there."

Almost. But sometimes almost is enough.

Privacy and Safety

Your voice data is treated with the highest level of care:

• Voice models are linked to your account and only usable by you
• You can delete your voice clone at any time — the model is permanently removed
• Voice samples are processed securely through ElevenLabs and are not used to train public models
• Only the account owner can create and manage voice clones

We built this feature for families, and we treat your voice the way we'd want ours treated.

Beyond Parents

Voice cloning isn't just for parents. Anyone your child loves can record their voice:

• A favorite aunt or uncle
• A grandparent
• An older sibling
• A family friend

Imagine your child hearing a bedtime story narrated by grandma, complete with their name, their favorite animal, and a character that looks like them. That's the kind of magic StoryLark makes possible.

Try It Tonight

Voice cloning is available to all StoryLark subscribers. Open the app, go to your voice settings, and record a quick sample. Your next story will sound like you.

Your child will notice. And they'll love it.
