The prosody sounds nice. But two of the longer samples have a lot of vocal fry, and the third sounds like the voice has a stuffy nose and/or a slight lisp. I wonder whether those mannerisms were chosen to camouflage artifacts inherent in their current implementation.
- rowanG077 6y agoOr the mannerisms where chosen to express that the system can produce real voices and not just perfect ones.
- microtherion 6y agoYeah, but wouldn't you include at least one "clean" voice in the samples to show what the system is capable of?
- sonantic 6y agoYep. Each of our TTS models is based on a real actor's voice that has its own nuanced characteristics. Some voices are naturally rougher / croaky while others smooth. As in real life, our differences are what make us unique. Some voices will work better for certain character profiles / scenes - it's up to the user to decide.
