At ElevenLabs’ inaugural Summit, the AI audio company revealed that Matthew McConaughey has been quietly part of its journey for years, first as an investor and early supporter, and now as an active creator using its technology.
The Academy Award-winning actor appeared in a video played during the Summit, where he announced that his long-running newsletter, Lyrics of Livin’, is expanding with a Spanish-language edition powered by ElevenLabs. The move will make McConaughey’s stories available in Spanish audio, delivered in his own unmistakable voice, allowing the actor to reach a broader global audience without losing the authenticity that defines his storytelling.
The announcement highlights how voice AI is increasingly being adopted by high-profile creators, not only as a distribution tool but as a way to preserve creative identity across languages. For ElevenLabs, the collaboration underscores its push beyond enterprise use cases into the heart of the creator economy.
“I’m proud to share that I’ve been an investor in ElevenLabs for several years now,” said Matthew McConaughey. “It’s been amazing to see the growth from those early days to where the company, and the technology, is now. What’s remained constant is the extraordinary storytelling capabilities and creative potential that ElevenLabs unlocks – something that stood out to me from the start and that speaks to me as a professional storyteller.”
ElevenLabs co-founder and CEO Mati Staniszewski said McConaughey’s involvement has always gone beyond celebrity backing.
“When I first met Matthew, I was struck by how genuinely he connected with our vision and what we’re trying to do at ElevenLabs,” Staniszewski said. “He wasn’t just excited by the tech – he understood what we’re aiming to achieve creatively. We’re so grateful for his continued insight and support, especially as we expand our work in the creative space.”
The partnership arrives at a time when AI-generated voice technology is reshaping publishing, entertainment, and personal branding. By enabling creators to scale their content across languages while retaining their vocal identity, companies like ElevenLabs are positioning AI as a collaborator rather than a replacement in creative work.
For McConaughey, the Spanish expansion of Lyrics of Livin’ reflects a broader shift in how storytellers are using AI to extend their reach while maintaining control over tone and narrative. For ElevenLabs, it serves as a high-profile validation of its technology’s creative potential as it deepens its presence in media and entertainment.
