NO WAY!! THE GREATEST PLOT TWIST EVER: ElevenLabs actually unbans me π€―
I was NOT expecting that! Drop a W in the comments for big man Scott over at ElevenLabs π
Day 2 Update: My ElevenLabs account is facing a rare issue happening to a few recently unbanned accounts that prevents me from signing in. Scott told me they got an engineer already working on it and it'll probably be fixed in a week or so. However, you KNOW Scott would not leave me hanging like that, so he's hooking me up with a second account until my main gets fixed and adding another free month for my main. I'm still not sure if my president voices are chillin' there all good, if I have to recreate them (which should be straight forward), or if they are blocked - I don't know yet. But what I do know is that Scott's got us covered! W Scott π
Day 5 Update: Scott hasn't responded to my message sent early Thursday morning yet, so I'm still waiting for him to hook me up with the second account. I'm eager to get started on the MP8 video commentary, but there's nothing else I can do at this time but wait. FinnFTW (another YouTuber unbanned by the legend Scott) kept all his AI voice models, so I probably will too which is good.
Day 7 Update: Scott got back to me and set me up with the second account, but wasn't able to bring over my original voices. When creating new ones I get errors saying the voice is blocked. Hopefully Scott can get that sorted or I can get lucky and create the voices with some tricks. If not, I'll have to hope that when I get my original account back, I can use my old voices like FinnFTW was able to do with his. Uggghhh.
Day 15 Update: WE ARE BACK!! FINALLY! After a long wait, Scott got back to me (he must have been really busy), and informed me that my main account has finally been fixed! However, he said that it's not possible to override blocked voices. But he did say that all voices I've created in the past would be fully restored, and indeed they are! I have all my original voices and they are all working well, which is excellent! I just hope it stays that way. For the foreseeable future, however, we are good to go! Time to continue that MP8 video! W Scott π
Good news! After numerous hurdles, I have signed up with PlayHT and managed to create some very solid presidents voices that are similar to my old voices and are also good quality. π£π₯
PlayHT is definitely a little rougher than ElevenLabs, but it can still be used effectively. It might not have quite the same range of expressions, but overall it sounds good. You might notice some small differences, but nothing too significant. π
If you're curious and want to hear a demo of the voices, you can listen to them in the announcements channel of my discord: Tooni's 8282 Empire discord.gg/ysxqthT8hD π
Otherwise, just know I'll now finally be able to continue progress on the next Mario Party 8 video! It's going to be well over 30 minutes so it'll take me some time, but I'll post some updates as it gets closer to completion. π
It finally happened! Banned from ElevenLabs due to using Donald and Joe voices since they are in the upcoming elections. ElevenLabs is super sensitive about all this and almost every other president's content creator has either been banned or had certain voices blocked, and I figured it would happen to me too at some point. I'm honestly surprised how long I lasted with ElevenLabs.
I'll start by checking out Parrot AI and PlayHT and see if I can get similar voices to what I had in ElevenLabs. Like for many other creators, this is simply a bump in the road but it won't be stopping me.
The Wii Sports Supercut is out now! https://youtu.be/Wuvq92I28fw?si=fXEPp...
What a wild season! Which video was your favourite? βΎπ₯π³πΎ
We now have a DISCORD SERVER: discord.gg/ysxqthT8hD
Talk to me, discuss content, share ideas, participate in events, and plot nefarious actions (jk) in Tooni's 8282 Empire discord server. See you there!
The presidential squad heads over to the tennis courts to compete in an epic 2v2 of Republicans vs Democrats! With wild serves, returns and surprise attacks, chaos ensues across the net. Which team will reign as the tennis champions? πΎπ

US Presidents Play Tennis in Wii Sports will be releasing this Saturday at noon EST, so long as no hurdles arise! It's an epic Republicans vs Democrats 2v2, and it is over 20 minutes long - over twice the length of any other presidents play tennis video on YouTube! Who do you think is going to win? πΎπβ
Whew! It's been a full year since the presidents got together and played their first game here on the channel! They picked up their paddles (or in Don's case: a shoe) and fought for table dominance in 3 heated table tennis matches. ππ

What's in store for this next year? For starters, the presidential squad visited the Wii Sports tennis court to play some full-scale tennis, and rackets flew as the battles ensued! Recently I took some days of well-needed rest and now I'm back to continue forward on the video. I'll give an estimated release date when I'm closer to finishing it. πΎπ
Going forward I want to continue playing through the different sports and revisit some favourites. I also want to get some more Mario Party 8 action going. Massive videos like that take longer to make but they are really enjoyable. And being a Wii Tanks main before making presidents videos, I think it's also fitting to put out the occasional Wii Tanks presidents video too. π£π₯
Lastly, I want to hear some of your suggestions for future content! An idea I've been interested in is US Presidents Play Super Mario 64. I think 4 player multiplayer SM64 could be really entertaining, so let me know what you think and if you have any other good ideas! βπ
Cheers to another year of presidents gaming! YAYAYA WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! π£π₯
The presidential squad picks up their swords and gathers their might to try to get as far as they can in the Wii Sports Resort Swordplay Showdown Campaign! It's the presidential bois versus the hordes of enemies! Who will be victorious? π€Ίβ

What do you guys think of the new animated segment after stage 8? Let me know of any ideas you have for more animated segments that I could incorporate in the future to spice up the videos and give them a special touch! π
US Presidents Play Swordplay Showdown is just about finished finally and will be dropping this Friday at 3pm EST! I know it's been cooking for a long time, but it's definitely one of my best videos yet and will be worth the wait. After that, the presidents will head over to the tennis courts for some bombastic battles across the net. What should the teams be? βπΎ
