Oh my god you listened to the audio!? Nice. I’ve been making those recordings and this is the first time I ever heard about someone listening to them. I didn’t know if anyone was!
It really depends on the voice model and the settings. Higher stablility, more monotone but consistent. Lower stability, more expressive but unpredictable. Also editing the best takes together really helps
Love this piece! But I have to ask—did Beatrice Dildeaux have any dealings with Philippe de Brassiere before the whole Otto Tizling patent fiasco? The historical implications are huge.
Yes, actually. He tried to commission a mold of Dildoux’s breasts for “corset fitting” demonstrations, but when it became clear he didn’t actually want a rubber reproduction of her breasts but the mold to make those breasts, Dildoux declined. It was at the height of her infamy and he obviously intended to sell reproductions of her breasts to bank off her name.
I saw that traveling museum exhibit on Philippe de Brassiere—the one with the spiked bra prototype. His diaries said he thought women hated being touched, so spikes were the solution. But eventually, his own fondness for breasts won out.
He noticed men bought the bras to protect their wives in public, but got furious when women wore them at home—while reading, cooking, and especially after arguments. Sales tanked, the spikes came off, and men have been confused ever since about the right time to touch a breast.
I always wondered if that unnamed colleague in his notes was Beatrice Dildoux. Thanks for helping me connect the dots!
I really don’t know what’s better. The audio for this or the comment section.
Every generation is different. Sometimes they say a line weird, or just the right way, and you can cut and paste them together
What?!?! 😮 well….guess I know that I’m doing for my next post. Thank you.

I listen to every single one. I follow along. You’re so damn good at it. I’m jealous.
lol. I’m just copy pasting the article into eleven labs and hitting generate
Me too and mine never come out as smooth. Maybe as my writing improves so will the audio

What do you mean by best takes?
