The Man Behind Nearly a Thousand Award-Winning Ads Is Building an AI Voice Platform, and It Sounds Nothing Like AI

Dan Price has spent 40 years making voices sell things. As founder of Oink Ink Radio, he has directed voice performances for Google, IBM, Ford, AT&T, NBC, and Staples, winning nearly a thousand industry awards along the way, including Cannes Lions, Clios, One Show Pencils, Radio Mercury Awards, London International Awards, and more.

Now he is turning that expertise loose on AI.

BionicVO is a professional voice cloning platform for creative teams that need AI efficiency without sacrificing the quality of real voice talent. Unlike platforms that offer only synthetic, computer-generated voices, BionicVO uses real, professional voice actors. Every voice on the platform was hand-picked by Price because it is distinct, human, and authentic, the kind AI could never replicate on its own. These are working pros from Madison Avenue and Hollywood, some of the very best voiceover artists in the United States, who have chosen to license their voices on their own terms.

What sets BionicVO apart is what happens before the user ever touches the platform. Price and his engineering team apply 40 years of audio direction and sound design to the source audio itself, the same production methodology behind Oink Ink’s decades of award-winning campaigns. Users browse the actor roster, upload a script, generate a clone, and refine it in a built-in production studio, then take it the rest of the way with the tools and best practices built into the platform.

“AI voices aren’t bad because the technology is bad. They’re bad because no one is directing the performance. We built BionicVO to master these tools, not just use them.” - Dan Price, Founder of Oink Ink Radio & Managing Member, BionicVO

Every time a voice is used, the actor gets paid. BionicVO runs on a royalty model, not a synthetic voice bank. No fake voices. No stolen likenesses.

The global AI voice market is projected to reach $21.75 billion by 2030. BionicVO enters it with a combination the rest of the field cannot match: a hand-picked roster of authentic voices, plus four decades of knowing how to direct them.
