Okay, I see and respect your opinion even if mine is really different. In anycase, my goal is not to get absolutely a REAL human voice , because this is the same thing for image, 3D will NEVER replace a real actor, there 'll always be a little uncanny valley (I don't have to repeat it :D) but I love to play with all these tools and I love these AI tools and people can like it or not. And all these imperfections will never stop us from having fun with eh Bassline :D
And definitely we have a big difference on hearing robotic or real voice because I really hear a real Morgan freeman's voice (and Biden's voice) and I asked to different people, they recognized immediately the actor's voice without saying that's robotic (they immediately did on listeninig to TTS voices), May be should we listen to Rob the robot , heeeey Roooooob, come here :D:D:D

I think the difference, Charly, is, as I said, that these are fine for satire.  Just like when an impressionist like Rich Little can do Richard Nixon or Cary Grant and everyone recognizes the voice, no one thinks it's actually those people.  It's just an "impression".

So folks can recognize and hear Morgan Freeman's "impression" but if you asked them if it WAS Morgan they would say no - they would understand it was a robotic voice.  No one would be fooled.

THAT'S why AI will never replace human actors - not an "uncanny valley" half as much as people just understand the difference.  There's a good reason for this - we are taught from a VERY early age (around two days) to recognize faces, particularly mom's.  And the process of seeing and hearing "humans" goes on for all our life.  We can easily distinguish the difference - no matter how good the robotic voice might otherwise sound.

So for funny things (satire) using such a voice is fine - as long as you understand folks will know it's not the person.  Where that line can (and will) get blurred is when AI processes a human voice.  That same impersonator (Rich Little) can't be mistaken for a robot.  You won't think it's Morgan Freeman, but you certainly will not think it's a robot.  I think that kind of AI manipulation of real voices has some real potential in serious animation.

It's an interesting discussion, for sure. In another thread someone wants to replace humans completely...:unsure: I wouldn't go that far...:P

The one time I used real human voices, actually recording them all in the same studio to get acoustic consistency, some people didn't like it. 

I can't use my own voice because of my accent (unless I need a Dutchman speaking English), so voice changers are of no use to me. 

I have one long project underway (long in several senses of the word) and I use artificial voices for the moment, as the dialog is subject to change.

Hi all,
Of course, nothing will ever replace the voice of a human but I must admit that the ''machine'' voices are very interesting and useful in many cases.
I needed to do a little scene in Catalan, of course my voice wouldn't have done and I don't have any Catalan people around so, I resorted to computer generated voices.
Of course, it's not perfect, but the result is there, I was able to shoot the film at a lower cost.

MorphVOX Pro 5

Price: US$39.99
This is an old software upgraded in 2021 to version 5 with free trial version. I guess this is not yet AI-Powered though so produced quality may be lower but it looks like it's acceptable to most casual users. Using the Effects Rack plug-in, this can even make use of external VSTs for further sound customization. This crashed for me though upon testing... MorphVox Pro 5 also supports integration with selected games and apps. If this is good enough, maybe it would be nice if applicable Reallusion products have an integration with this just like what they have with the Replica Studios plugin. MorphVox Pro 5 is a low cost option for those needing basic voice changer feature. Being able to add our own Custom Voice Profiles is quite cool too! Future version says there will be a feature to save and share our voice profiles. With regards to morphing, it can save/output an audio file at 44100 Hz / 44.1 khz, 16bit, Stereo in WAV, Ogg Vorbis, WMA, & MP3 formats. The upcoming NyVOX, still with limited info, claims it can provide 32000 Hz / 32 khz audio experience but is AI-powered. Really interesting software so I am waiting for it. :-)

Key Features:
  • Many Free Voices -- Tweak each of these voices to your heart's content to produce even more voice combinations
  • Many Free Sound Packs -- Turn MorphVOX into a soundboard with quick keys to send out farts and drum-rolls while still modding your voice
  • Try Out the "Backgrounds" -- Add any background sound while you talk. Fool your friends: sound like you're in the middle of a traffic jam or shopping at the mall. 
  • Superb voice changing algorithms -- New Ultra-quiet background cancellation make it one of the cleanest-sounding voice changers available on the market
  • Optimized for online games -- Sound like the character you play in-game whether you choose to be a grumpy dwarf or a mighty giant
New Features:
  • New intuitive interface - palettes and content organizer
  • Live vocal visualization - Color Blast, Frequency Spectrum, Spectrogram
  • Voice comparison analysis and tuning.
  • State of the art noise reduction - digital and smart modes
  • Pre and post graphic equalizer for finely sculpted audio
  • Stereo microphone support
  • Voice parsing detection
Standard Features:
  • Advanced voice-learning algorithms for best quality sound
  • Full integration with online games and chat programs
  • Low bandwidth and CPU usage for excellent performance
  • A large library of free voice and sound effect packs
  • Backgrounds - sound like you are somewhere else
  • Add your own sounds effects and backgrounds
  • Advanced vocal tract filters for unlimited tweaking
  • After Effects: add environmental effects to your voice
  • Quick Voices: switch your voice with a single keystroke
  • Quick Effects: Play any effect with a single button
  • Audio Alarms: announce the time or play a clip.
  • Morph audio files or record your morphed voice to a file.

Yeah, I watched this show a while back but, honestly, either I wasn't all that impressed or perhaps the voice selection left a lot to be desired.  I'm not sure which it was (maybe it was the cost and/or shortness of time you could use - I'll look again to make sure).

In any case, this isn't nearly as promising to me as NyVox (which seems to be stuck in a perennial "coming soon" loop :>)

In looking I think it was the price.

The lowest is $59 a month.  A MONTH.  AND you only get 8 pro voices (you get a lot of common voices but, honestly, I can do as good or better than those).  So - eight voices for $700 a year is... ridiculous.

I can't imagine NyVox (a steam program) costing that much for the standalone version - IOW, spend a few hundred ONCE and have access to it forever.  So - I don't think this is something that hobbyists like all of us here are ever going to use.

But it's a glimpse of where this is going.  I'm fairly sure six months from now we'll all have a VOICE ALTERING (as opposed to VOICE AI) product in our toolbox.

Yeah, I agree the price is too high for hobbyist / casual use. I'm interested in NyVox too and awaiting it's release in Steam. I hope it will be launched soon and before the next big voice AI tech surpasses them. The technolgy is just developing so fast. :D

iMyFone MagicMic

Here's another one. This is significantly much cheaper than Altered Studio but a little more expensive than MorphVox Pro 5. This software is newer, has a more modern User Interface, and frequently updated content. It has a free version, offers both a subscription-based and lifetime packages. Lifetime price is affordable especially now as they're having a Black Friday sale. :)  While MorphVox Pro 5 voices sound a little wispy but fuller, MagicMic's generated voices seem to have a bit more echo in them. Maybe this can be adjusted in both software to sound better... I'm not sure as I haven't tinkered with them more. MagicMic has no plugin support though unlike MorphVox Pro 5. But they have a nice multilingual/translator Text-To-Speech (TTS) generator software called VoxBox which is a separate tool you have to buy. MorphVox Pro 5 is also available in Steam by the way. But sadly, it has gathered Mixed reviews there which I think it does not deserve... if it has the same build quality as the stand-alone demo version I've tried.
