The first AI coach that truly hears your voice — for actors, speakers, and anyone whose voice is their career.
Warm hand-off. Eye contact.
Hi — I'm Arielle. I'm building Liltra: the first AI coach that truly hears your voice.
For actors, speakers, executives — and anyone whose voice is their career.
I want to take you through why this is suddenly possible, who pays first, and where this goes.
Slow. Personal. This is the founder story.
Last year I was prepping for an audition. The script wanted General American. I speak with a slight Eastern European accent.
So I built my own loop. Recorded takes. Sent them to friends. Asked Gemini what I was getting wrong. Drilled the problem words until my accent and delivery were on point.
It was inconvenient and slow. But it got me the role.
Liltra is that loop — streamlined and scaled.
Almost every actor, public speaker, executive, and interview candidate runs a similar hacky routine. Because the tool that should exist doesn't. Yet.
Map the three tiers of pain.
There are three tiers of pronunciation pain — ranked by career impact.
Tier 1 — actors, YouTubers, influencers. The loud pain. Already paying 150 dollars an hour for coaches. One bad take is a lost role, a lost audience. 500,000 actors globally.
Tier 2 — public speakers and executives. The known pain. Before the investor call or the keynote, they rehearse the content. Nobody helps them rehearse the delivery. 30 million professionals.
Tier 3 — interview candidates and mobile professionals. The silent pain. Rejected and never told why. Don't know the problem is fixable. 1.5 billion English learners worldwide.
We start with actors. They know the pain the most. They're already paying. From there we expand.
Walk through the four steps. Make it concrete.
Hear, diagnose, train. Upload your script. Get phoneme-level coaching.
Step one — upload the script. Audition scene, TED talk, pitch deck, interview prep. Any text you need to nail.
Step two — record your take. Professional-grade analysis. We find the exact sounds working against you.
Step three — targeted drills. Personalized exercises for your specific problem phonemes. Not generic — yours.
Step four — measurable before and after. We quantify the delta. See improvement in real time. That's the whole point.
Confident. The numbers earn it.
Not a waitlist. A launch week.
April 2026, prototype launch. Out of 21 invited professionals, 17 loved it and said they would pay.
Script vertical — shipped. Actors ran real audition scripts through it. Not a mockup. A working product they tested with their own material.
Two languages from day one. English and German. Built for multilingual professionals from the start.
Quote — I uploaded my audition script. It figured out exactly where I'm tripping up. The sounds I didn't even know I was getting wrong. I'd pay for this. — Petro Stashenko, working actor.
Quote — The friend I send my recordings to — this replaces that. Faster, more precise, and available at 2am before an audition. — TikTok creator, 50K followers.
Three reasons. Three breaths.
The lab just became possible.
One — AI can now measure how you speak. Not just what you say. Until 2024, speech AI told you what you said. Now it measures how — rhythm, melody, accent, phoneme by phoneme.
Two — AI can show you the target in your own voice. Generate a reference take in any dialect, in a voice that sounds like yours. Actors can hear what correct sounds like before they practice.
Three — every tool targets learners. The professional lane is wide open. Duolingo, ELSA, BoldVoice — all built for language learners. Actors, speakers, candidates — zero professional tools.
AI finally has ears. We built the pronunciation lab around them.
Read across the row. We win every line that matters.
No one built this for the professional.
Duolingo and ELSA are for learners. They don't think about scripts, presentations, or measurable drill progress.
Private coaches are great — but $150 an hour, by appointment, in one timezone.
Liltra — built for professionals. Phoneme-level. Script and presentation workflow. Measurable progress. 24/7. Under 50 dollars a month.
Thirty-four dollars a month. Custom voice pipeline, phoneme coaching, professional script workflow.
Earn the trust line by line.
Solo founder. Full stack. By design.
Founder-market fit — professional actress, native English, German, Russian. I built my own pronunciation loop years before Liltra. 17 of 21 actors confirmed the problem in person.
Technical depth — 20+ years full-stack engineering. M.Sc. in computer science. Hands-on AI and NLP. Building the entire MVP solo — from phonetic engine to frontend.
Founder experience — built startups before. Building Radar, All.Pics, Artware.Studio.
Solo at this stage is by design. One person, moving fast across product, engineering, and domain.
Advisers already in place. Hiring begins immediately after close.
Anchor on the price gap.
Dialect coaches charge $120 to $350 an hour. We charge $34 a month.
Free tier — weekly practice sessions. Habit builder, top of funnel.
Premium — $34 a month or $340 a year. Full pronunciation lab. AI coaching plus phoneme-level feedback.
Enterprise — teams, schools, agencies. Volume licensing.
Growth flywheel — free users share progress clips. The product markets itself.
Land it cleanly. This is the number.
€500,000.
Turn 17 actors who love it into 500 who pay for it.
No per-session human cost. Every user served by the same pipeline. Margins improve with scale.
18-month milestones — month 4, payments live, first 50 paying actors. Month 8, 200 paying actors, retention data in hand. Month 12, 500 paying actors equals $17K MRR. Month 15, Series A ready, six-month retention proven.
Proven acquisition channel with CAC under $50. 500 actors at 34 dollars a month with 85% margins.
The only question left is how fast we reach 10,000.
Soft landing. Eye contact.
A pronunciation lab for professionals. The window just opened.
Actors first — they know the pain and already pay $120 to $350 an hour for coaches.
Then speakers, creators, and the 1.5 billion learning a language.
Let's build the lab that scales.
