  • Publication number: 20160064033
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for providing personalized audio shows and/or video shows. For example, content corresponding to an interest of a user may be identified (e.g., a videogame article, a home renovation blog, etc.). One or more actor templates within a natural language template set may be applied to portions of the content to create audio snippets. For example, text-to-speech synthesis functionality may use a first actor template to convert the videogame article into a videogame snippet and may use a second actor template to convert the home renovation blog into a home renovation snippet. The videogame snippet and the home renovation snippet may be used to generate an audio show (e.g., a dialogue between a first actor persona, defined within the first actor template, reading the videogame snippet and a second actor persona, defined within the second actor template, reading the home renovation snippet).
