You get 4 hours free as iClone User + regular free 30 min as starter.
So plenty enough to test and see/hear whether this is something you want to add to pipeline.
Regarding price, I would say 6,- $ per hour is not expensive.
And if you are sure you want to use this for several projects,
you even get package for 3,- $ per hour (100 hours for 300,- $)
For comparison, prices Acapela Box (which I used quite a lot):
https://acapela-box.com/AcaBox/acabox-prices.phpSo way cheaper than Acapela Box...
Plus, your text automatically transforms into an AccuLips animation within seconds!
You can also create your own TTS voice, I did the first steps 6 months ago,
but did not complete as it takes several recordings. Might take that up again.
So, I would say, give it a try as it is for free.
