Audio Cloning
The UNITH platform allows for custom voices to be created and added the Voice library. Currently, UNITH needs to perform the voice cloning service on behalf of customers. Should you require voice cloning please provide an audio recording of the voice you wish to clone to your UNITH customer success representative.
Guidelines
- Record in a quiet environment to minimise background noise.
- Enunciate words clearly and maintain a consistent volume and distance from the microphone.
- Position the microphone close to the speaker’s mouth (but not so close that the audio clips: Recording Booth will warn you if this is happening.
- Avoid recording in an echoey room with lots of hard surfaces. Pick somewhere small and cozy with lots of soft furnishings - wardrobes often work well!
- Use a pop filter. This is a small mesh screen you can place in front of the microphone to reduce the risk of certain sounds (such as “p” and “b”) causing clipping. They are fairly inexpensive and widely available from online retailers.
- If your microphone or interface has controllable input levels, aim to set your levels so that you’re staying around the top end of the “green” range.
- Use a decent microphone (generally condenser microphones pick up greater detail for vocal recordings) for better sound quality or consider renting a studio environment for an hour if you’re on a budget.
Audio Content
Introduce yourself
- State your name
- Say your job title, your role and talk clearly and purposely about any subject matter your clone might talk about.
Script to read - English Example
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs. How vexingly quick daft zebras jump! These pangrams contain all the letters of the English alphabet, making them useful for testing fonts, keyboards, and other systems. Samantha was a curious young woman with an insatiable thirst for adventure. From a young age, she dreamed of exploring the far corners of the world, immersing herself in diverse cultures and landscapes. After graduating college, she decided to take a gap year and embark on the journey of a lifetime.
Her first stop was a small village in the Himalayas, where she learned ancient meditation techniques from Buddhist monks. Next, she ventured deep into the Amazon rainforest, marveling at the incredible biodiversity. In Morocco, she rode camels through the Sahara Desert, gazing up at the brilliant night sky. Everywhere Samantha went, she embraced the local customs and traditions.
She tried exotic foods, learned new languages, and made lifelong friends. Each experience filled her with a deeper appreciation for the world's rich tapestry of cultures. After two years of non-stop travel, Samantha returned home with a new perspective. Her adventures had opened her mind and heart in ways she never could have imagined.
