🗣️ Voice Clones, Claude Skills & The Branding Prompt Playbook: Week 14

💬 Day 66 – Monday, October 27, 2025
Perry: HeyGen Avatars, Google Willow Quantum Chip & Claude Skills Revolution

Perry opened the week with a double shot of laughs and leverage: he debuted a HeyGen avatar (made in under 2 minutes) to deliver a Japanese-voiced greeting that sounded accidentally aggressive—but perfectly demonstrated the use case: scalable training with face trust. Just like Julie McCoy’s AI avatar-fueled YouTube channel (100K+ subs, 1M+ views), this is content creation at scale without ever hitting record.

Big stories:

• Google Willow: Their new quantum chip processes 17,000x faster than top supercomputers — but energy is the limiting factor. Microsoft even revived Three Mile Island to power AI.
• Claude Skills: Game-changing. Drop in folders of examples, SOPs, brand voice docs — and Claude auto-detects and uses them in context. No need to make custom GPTs.
• Perry’s SEO traffic is down 30-40%, but Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) traffic is converting better and boosting newsletter engagement.

Bonus: the free AEO certification with Kasim Aslam kicks off today. And a reminder: adding Speakable Schema increases AI engine feature chances by 45%.

Laura Betterly: 11 Labs Voice Cloning Mastery – From Podcasts to Japanese Perry

Laura brought the 🔥 for audio-first creators. She showed how 11 Labs ($22/mo) crushes voice cloning — letting you:

• Turn blog posts into narrated podcast streams
• Replace HeyGen’s robotic voices with natural tones
• Clone your own voice in multiple languages

She stunned the crowd by speaking live and switching to Daniel’s voice mid-sentence. Then she became Burt Reynolds for dramatic effect.

Her most powerful demo? Perry Belcher speaking fluent Japanese and German, while still sounding like himself — with tone and pacing intact.

Oh, and 11 Labs now generates music. Laura wrote a rock anthem about socks — verses, choruses, bridge and all.

The best part? AI gave her weekends back. No more video reshoots, retakes, or editing.

💬 Day 68 – Wednesday, October 29, 2025
Angie: 12 Prompts to Define Your Personal Brand (Before the Algorithm Does)

Angie brought the heat with a 12-prompt personal brand framework you can drop straight into ChatGPT. Her goal? Make sure AI knows your mission before it guesses.

Highlights:

• Purpose + Mission Filter: Attract value-givers, repel vampires.
• Super Fans ID: Use 100 True Fans as your compass.
• Story Selling + Narrative Gap: Fill the space between who you are and how you’re perceived.
• Tool Stack + Domain Audit: Upload your software/tools/domain lists to ChatGPT and let it prioritize, monetize, or eliminate.

Angie also bought a batch of AI-related domains — calling them the new antiques. Her vibe? Own the language before it becomes valuable.

💬 Day 69 – Thursday, October 30, 2025
Russell: Beehive Newsletter Setup & Nana Banana Character Consistency

Russell’s Stack Thursday brought two big things:

1. Beehive newsletter platform: Free to start, built-in sponsorships, auto-generated SEO-friendly webpages. He showcased how last week’s recap performed — even if it was late 😅.
2. Nana Banana Prompt Wizardry: Using Stable Diffusion Prompt Genius GPT, Russell generated insanely detailed character descriptions from his AI image — then fed it back into other tools to place himself into:

• A Dirk Nowitzki jersey courtside
• A Hooters uniform (Halloween humiliation, unlocked ✅)
• A Dracula costume

He noted the GPT is almost too good at prompting — perfect for brand visualization, model swapping, and costume previews.

And yes, he’s building something vibe-coded to automate this magic soon.

💬 Day 70 – Friday, October 31, 2025
Emma: Atlas Browser Battle Testing (Plus Halloween Computer Swap Drama)

Emma upgraded to a new M-chip studio Mac just to run Atlas Browser — OpenAI’s new agent-mode web navigator. And she learned it live with us.

Demo 1: Facebook scan — “Find anyone asking about ops, answer in my voice, reference my book.”

• Pre-Atlas: 15–20 minutes, low accuracy
• With Atlas: 2 minutes, precise pull + dynamic draft + persistent monitoring

Demo 2: Email search for Growth Hacking sponsor instructions

• Initially wrong (September), corrected after one nudge

Emma’s take: Atlas > Operator. Context windows work like Perplexity’s Comet, but ChatGPT eliminates noise better for action-taking.

Halloween fun: Emma’s house goes bigger for Halloween than Christmas, and her CAPTCHA struggles (“Still failing bike vs motorcycle tests like kindergarten”) made everyone laugh.
