Tips
- Trim clips
- Trim the clips to only contain speech. Use the button, or audio editing software like Audacity.
- Multiple clips are better than one short sample
- You should upload lots of clips of clear speech rather than one short sample. Aim for as much clear speech as possible across many clips, with lots of recognizable words and a wide variety of phrases and lines. Trim your clips to your best, clearest speech and use our free audio editor or software like Audacity.
- Got lots of samples? Make multiple voices
- If you have many clips of different expressions, consider splitting them into separate soundboards and cloning each one - e.g. a Normal voice, an Angry voice, a Surprised voice. Each will be a distinct, more complete TTS voice with lots of usable content.
- Words must be recognizable
- The voice cloning process recognizes the words spoken in your clips with speech-to-text. If they cannot be understood (e.g. mumbles, screaming), your voice will not be optimal.
- Use different intonations and emotions
- Use clips with different intonations and emotions to give the AI further information about your voice. If you want your voice to have a specific intonation or emotion, use clips consistently reflecting that style.
- Use different words and sentences
- Use clips with with a variety of words and sentences.
- Remove background music or sound effects
- Make sure the clips contain only speech, no background music or sound effects. MVSEP is a useful tool to separate voices from music.
