I successfully used an early online version of Voice.AI for an animation, isolating various snippets of Walt Disney's voice from background music. Now they are offering the beta of an impressive voice changer. I just got started with the software, so I have only tested the politician (GW Bush) and Popstar voices but apparently a subscription will get you access to many, many more choices.

Does the subscription offer more than 15 seconds of voice (this is a pretty serious limitation)? Also - I'd be more impressed with ANY of this if any examples were provided. Perhaps they exist somewhere than other on that link.

Another one to watch. Not released yet, but soon. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1499250/NyVox/
These type of changers seem promising because they use your own inflection.

Well I didn't want to post excess detail, but since you asked, let me clarify what I meant by "impressive." Fact: the beta comes with only 2 voices; I thought it did a great job of changing a short snippet of my voice to those, so I was impressed by that. The precise details of interacting with their service is, however, still mysterious to me. (I must admit that my experiences with this forum suggest that I am not the quick study that some of you are.) Somehow you can purchase credits for the online voices, but it's not clear how. However -- and this is very interesting and very modern -- you can also earn credits for allowing the service to temporarily crunch data on your PC--the session I did didn't take long.

Yes. I got into trouble a while back for criticizing a fine gentleman in this forum for suggesting AI voices are the future. The intelligent inflection is precisely the kind of thing I didn't think AI would handle. So I agree that this strategy combines the best of both worlds.

AI voices - voices that are completely computer generated - are NOT the wave of the future. They will NEVER replace human actors. Software that changes the timbre/tone of a human voice has been around for as long as there has been recording devices. Indeed, NO professional or semi-professional production will use a raw voice "as is". So a "changer" is quite a different thing than something that is totally AI. But as for that first site - I would stay FAR away from any site that even *slightly* takes over your machine for processing (note that there are disclaimers on that site that say your malware software may complain. For good reason - this is as close to any malware as I can imagine). The second one, using Steam, is far more intriguing. However - Steam.

The steam one is very interesting I currently use VoiceMod and I know they are working on more normal voices. They even have an area you can make your "own" haven't tried it though.

I was unimpressed with VoiceMod. I played with it for a few hours after I bought the annual subscription, but on closer examination. It was not what I was looking for. I need a range of "normal" human voices, male and female. I rarely need to sound like a demon. Several months ago Corridor Crew did a review of an AI voice technology on youtube (altered.ai) that looked pretty interesting. You could use voices like Morgan Freeman and it would use your inflections to make it sound like a real person. However, the pricing was prohibitive for me. As for Voice.ai, I'm more aligned with Kelleytoons: Any site that is so focused on getting me to download the software and doesn't even provide a demo or pricing page is a red flag for me. I will check out the Steam option though. I use Steam all the time to waste my life playing Civilization VI, lol.

Yea, I haven't used in awhile until I saw the new AI Voices they doing I think right now one male and female in beta.but they seem to be trying to target creatives and not just for game playing.
I have the lifetime license so I can keep checking back on what they have new.

I thought Voice.ai looked really interesting, signed up and managed to upload a character voice after multiple attempts, but haven’t been able to use it because the site is an absolute mess currently. The whole focus seems to be to get you to download the software, once done there are no guides to usage, no menus or tabs to help. I stumbled across the “give us access to your pc” credits scheme and thought it was highly suspicious, especially how poorly developed the rest of the site is, so I didn’t go any further. While it may be a case of inexperienced geek developers getting ahead of themselves, I have to say I’m feeling uncomfortable about handing over my email address to them and thinking I should uninstall asap. I really hope it’s not as dodgy as it currently seems, because I could really make good use of this concept, but at present it looks to be way off being useable. I think “ai” is a fascinating field that is developing at a rapid rate, has huge benefits for independent creators and I have no doubt will eventually get to the point that it will be an acceptable and usable industry standard - I bet scenery designers never thought they would be replaced by cgi and maybe they just changed their tools of trade. Anyway, I am keen to learn more and tap in to any resources that can help me overcome the limitations of being an independent creator. Cheers, Tony
