Skyrim mod adds AI voice acting for all the Dragonborn’s dialogue

Aside from various grunts and dragonshouts, the Dragonborn is a silent protagonist. If that’s not your thing, Mathiew May’s Dragonborn Voice Over mod (opens in new tab) for Skyrim Special Edition will let you hear every dialogue line you select repeated out loud.

You can select from a handful of voice packs, each created with ElevenLabs AI. Skyrim’s protagonist has more than 7,000 lines of dialogue, so you can see why it’s easier to get an AI to generate dialogue than having someone sit down and record it. So far three voice packs are available, all based on women’s voices. As well as the default, other modders have contributed voice packs based on Wang Yuanji from Dynasty Warriors (opens in new tab) and the female Sith Inquisitor from Star Wars: The Old Republic (opens in new tab).
